Taylor is one of the more overrated fighters on this forum. He has troubling winning legitimately against Junior Middleweights and aging greats without gift decisions! Lacy could burst the Taylor Hoax - it is not as out of the question as these poll results indicate. I will be laughing my ass off if he does.
Taylor might be in for a long night, he isn't use to being the smaller weaker guy in the ring and all it takes is one big shot for Lacy to win.
Lacy has never knocked a C++ level fighter w/ just one punch. Why would you expect him to do that to Jermain? Jermain has never lost due to just one punch. Why would you expect him to lose to Lacy? Pavlik's power/one shot ability is 10x better than lacy's and taylor withstood it (he lost the 1st fight due to stamina/sequence of punches which lacy isn't talented enough to do)
Taylor to force the ref to stop the fight in the 6th as Lacy will again, take a battering. As one poster already said, this is Lacy's pension fight. He was out of this sport until Taylor came back with a better offer. Lacy is just completley mentally shot.
well given these to used to spar and train together i doubt lacy will present anything new for taylor so, yes he is used to being the smaller weaker guy against lacy...he even stated that when he used to spar with him lacy was strong as an ox
They're both mentally shot, but atleast Lacy's in shape. While Lacy struggled to put away Manfredo and Mendoza, Taylor's sturggled to put away Spinks and Ouma. Lacy by midround KO. Froch's loss.
