Mendoza needs to throw more of those straight rights. Or should i say looping rights to the top of the head.
His punches are coming back to him a little better... and his timing. He looked like he had absolutely no snap against Manfredo. Lacy will never be hard to hit... he used to just wade in on his opponents and eventually impose his will. His conditioning used to be better though, and he would start slow and finish very strong. I think he is coming along nicely after his surgery.
Lacy looks horrible.. his timing does too. Hopefully he wins though, it would be sad to see him miss the Taylor payday.
If he can get his conditioning back, I don't see why not. He isn't going to beat Calzaghe, but he can still beat good fighters.
On the other side, wouldn't it be awesome for a guy like Mendoza to score the upset and maybe get a payday?
