    Kessler's one-two, uppercut and timing are enough to see off Lacy. Too tough to knock out though.

    Kessler UD. I don't think you'll see much else.

    Absolutely the only way I see that going down. Lacy isn't knocking Kessler out, Kessler isn't likely to knock Lacy out, and Lacy is just not quick enough or skilled enough to outpoint a prime Kessler.

    Lacy was as predictable as his nickname. Kessler by UD

    Remember, this was before he had shoulder surgery, lost his zero, and took a confidence-destroying ass-kocking.

    And he was a good fighter. He just wasn't as good as Kessler and his puncher's chance would've been very low, considering Kessler's beard.

    Don't rule out the referee, corner or doctor stoppage for Kessler (although he most likely gets the verdict from the wise men).

    Yeah, then same Lacy that went life and death with Omar Sheika.

    Lacy wouldnt have beat Mundine, let alone Kessler.

    Some posters keep bringing up a single fight (Omar). By that logic, Ali went life and death with Norton.

    Three times.

    And lost at least one of those bouts.

    A point to consider.

    Jeff also showed major flaws in the Grant, Thompson and Vanderpool fights aswell...Hell even the Wiggens and Williams fights.

    He just has to many holes in his game that a guy like Kessler would expose...not as bad as Joe did but he would win fairly comfortably.

    He was just too one dimensional. He had a poor jab and a lefthook with some power and thats it. A classy fighter offsets that all night. Roy Jones looked like superman against him when he was shot to pieces. He was just never that great.
