Kelly Pavlik vs Jeff Lacy who wins?

See Pavlik vs. Miranda

 

Pre-injury I'd go with Lacy now probably Kelly.

 

Pavlik TKO8 Lacy

 

Pavlik.

 

Kelly by KO

 

Pavlik by KO in a very one-sided fight.

 

Amazing he only gets a "slight" edge after KO'ing hype machine Miranda and "elite" MW champion Jermain Taylor, who, as I'm told, fought the toughest MW's available in Hopkins, Wright, Spinks, and Ouma

whereas Lacy got destroyed the second he stepped up (and probably should have lost to Tsypko).

Seriously, Pavlik KO.

Lacy is most likely done.

 

yeah pavlik by late ko.

while kelly can be hit, he is no where near as open as lacy. not to mention size. pavlik will dwarf lacy, and use his long and very powerful jab to make lacy think twice about throwing bombs.

after the win over taylor some people STILL consider pavlik a one dimensional puncher. atsch

pavlik was throwing a variety of punches but mainly settled for the 1-2 combo throughout that fight. partially because of taylors faster hands, and part getting knocked down hard.

if pavlik was that one dimensional he would have been shutout by taylor. whereas in fact on my scorecard it was pavlik leading. if you have a great jab that also helps. jeff lacy doesn't really have a jab. it's more a stiff pole shot to get into position for a bomb.

pavlik's body is a large frame, with huge fists. he will adopt the 158 pound division nicely, and his power will increase because he has tons of stamina and the longness to put on the muscle correctly.

jeff lacy i always thought was a blown up middleweight. he claims it's natural and he doesn't pump weights, but i doubt that. if lacy stripped some muscle he could make the middleweight divison easily.

i see pavlik doing his thing and having a battle in the first round before he slowly but surely makes lacy give ground, round by round.

finally the accumilation will add up and lacy will be ko'ed.

in fact i think a fighter to give pavlik problems would be one with a average chin. why? because they are very aware of their weakness and will try to avoid his powershots all night. guys with solid chins, such as miranda, taylor, lacy, will take bombs to get in a shot on pavlik only to have their chins chipped away round after round.

 

let me guess cuz he's black :yep :yep :nut :nut

 

Lacy has been really inactive overcoming an injury. My pic would be Pavlik.
