i dont know i felt that lacy looked excelant against tsypko till his left went. he isnt ruined he knows he was pushed too quick. but anyways lacy has a great chin tight punches throws big hard punchers against miranda edison fights well against boxers who like to keep there distance and pick them off he just has a big reach hits super hard and isnt afraid to go toe to toe with the harder puncher. but in the end all. lacy is to techinical correct and fires easily seen but very tight and very destructiv e punches. i give lacy a huge advantage
After seeing Lacy against Manfredo, I have to change my pick to Miranda by UD or TKO. I think he's completely shot - physically and mentally. Calzaghe did the mental part and the shoulder injury did him in physically. He can't let his hands go, he has no snap, his workrate isn't good, and he is extremely slow and plodding.
Yeh an out-of-shape, extremely slow cruiserweight. He looked like **** in his last fight against Manfredo (and out of shape to boot)
:good I was wondering why you picked Lacy earlier in the thread....he looked like **** against Manfredo
Although Banks is not too much of a test, do the same poll after Miranda KO's him and you will see a big change of heart by some people. Miranda is currently remembered from his beating he took from Pavlik. THis will be his TV debut at 168lbs. If he looks great, which I think he will against Banks, people will start believing in him again.
From what I have seen of Miranda it looks like he has long arms. Not sure, but I think he has a reach advantage on Lacy. Given that both of them are come ahead sluggers, it would seem that the winner is likely to be the first one to land a big hit. In that situation a reach advantage could prove to be vital.
