    lol:lol:

    how can JT be shot? he's still young and had only less than 30 fights..

    the guy is still on his prime and would outbox the **** out of lacy

    and imo i think it'll be a mismatch..no way this version of lacy pulls off a win

    Taylor probably won't need HBO's judges to win THIS one, but it isn't as much of a mismatch as people think. Without HBO, Taylor would have lost quite a few fights he "won."

    Taylor is underrated and people will see after this fight why he once was the undisputed no.1 middleweight champion of the world

    Let's hope that after JT beats Lacy that this is what he say in the post fight interview

    "Kessler it's time you get a beating from a real man so I'll tell Pavlik to consider fighting you."

    JT is obviously going to win, but I'm hoping for a competitive fight where Lacy proves he isn't useless, he's a hard thudding puncher but he's off balance, nothing training can't fix. The big question is his state of mind after being hyped so hard then being schooled by Calzaghe and getting injured. With Kessler, Bute, Taylor, Froch, Pascal, SMW has alot of potential espeacially with Pavlik probably fighting exclusivly there within a year.

    Lacy will either be stopped or lose every round against Taylor. He seems totally unable to pull the trigger and is so lethargic and slow around the ring it is untrue.

    I seem to recall an interview at scene where he was wanting a convincing performance against the last guy to set up a rematch with Joe Calzaghe :patsch

    I dont think it will be a mismatch. There is even a good chance that Taylor will lose this one. Taylor has looked like crap against smaller fighters, and this is the strongest opponent for him.

    JT is the real deal....he can box and slug...He has 2 losses to Pavlik who he matches up with horribly..JT should win this fight easy either by late ko or easy ud...Lacy is done and isnt on JT level

    I agree with this post as JT's physical abillities are heavily underrated now that he has lost his 0, he still has fantastic speed and a world class jab and more than enough power to demand respect and force lacy backward, Stylistically I see JT looking really REALLY impressive in his victory in this fight, his jab and speed combinations will find home consistently and his straight left overhand right will be the combination I would expect to really force Lacy backward or even ko him, I'm pretty confident in JT and im betting a few $$ on JT to win this one
