would anyone like to make a complete lemming of themselves and sign up here for a lacy victory? im in,next......
I am one of the few on this site who think that this is actually a very winable fight for Lacy. Of course, I base that more on my belief that Taylor is a lot more mediocre than many fans seem to think.
Oh God, that's more risky then betting on a Pac KO, well maybe not because if Jeff has anything it's power. But that is literally it, JT showed alot of improvments after the KO. I'm with the mass, wide wide UD, possibly a shutout.
Lacy has lost power and confidence, and those traits -- along with his chin -- made him what he was. He'll be target practice for Taylor, who I believe will stop him late.
Jeff Lacy is coming off 4 straight horrible performances...I don't understand what would make someone think that will change. He got starched by calzaghe in tremendous fashion (Taylor-Calzaghe would be competitive IMO)...Then, he won SUPER CLOSE decisions vs tsypko, manfredo, and mendoza. Taylor would not only win WIIIIDE UD's vs these guys but likely would've been able to KO them. BUT, the absolute clincher for me, is something people don't talk about enough regarding this fight...JEFF LACY was content w/ retiring a few days before this fight was made. He obviously has lost his passion for boxing and from my perspective, it would be hard to go from **** boxing to let me win this huge upset just like that. I think Lacy is only going for 1 last big paycheck.
Lacy hasn't looked great in recent fights, but Taylor has yet to clearly win a fight over any top level middleweight, let alone supermiddles.
Rumour has it that Taylor has been living it up in South Beach I believe & has gained a lot of weight, so take that for what it's worth. It is also Lacy's last chance at big money fight's if he were to beat Taylor. But I still don't think he can win.
