    First of all - Im not Danish.

    Second. You dont rip apart anything - where excactly did I state that Calzaghe would come in head first?

    You make stuff up - change small parts. Interpret.

    Fool.

    Oh give me a ****ing break.

    You dip to incredible lows to discredit MK. I've seen Kessler throw 6-8 punch combinations, accurately and with good handspeed.

    No, ol' Blockman believes that Lacy's offensive punching variety is superior to Kessler's.

    Honestly, power is not far off, neither guy are 1 punch KO hitters, just good punchers that carry heavy hands.

    Librado Andrade and Alejandro Berrio posses true 1 punch KO power, but obviously are not up there in the skill department, even though Andrade is very effective for his purposes and will make some serious noise.

    Yusaf Mack is a Pemberton level fighter, Berrio KOed him.

    Since Lacy hasn't learned to us a jab, or to work off one. :patsch

    Kessler not having a chin like Lacy??? Unlike Lacy Kessler was never KOed as an amateur and has never been close to going down as a pro. How does that indicate that he doesn't have a chin? But I guess, since he is eurotrash according to you that includes not having a good chin.:nut

    Lacy's chin clearly developed as he got older and more bulky.

    The idiocy of you.

    Lacy had a COMPLETELY wrong gameplan and followed it strictly untill it was way too late.

    He came in - head first - in order to get inside and toss Joe around.

    Lacy used the perfect gameplan. Close eyes, swing and hope. It is in Mike's best interests to try the same.

    You cannot possibly come up with a plan that would have helped Jeff.

    As I see it, Lacy didnt even swing enough. He was trying to get in and manhandle Calzaghe. Stupid.

    Lacy should have moved alot quicker around the ring and made Joe hunt him - then countepunch. Or he could have tried to take advantage of his longer reach by trading from the outside - then counterpunch.


    But no - he put his head down low and almost ran into Joes quicker hands.

    Did it look to you like Lacy had any chance of countering Calzaghe -questionmark- No wonder you believe Kessler has hope.

    Whatever Lacy tried, he was getting shut-out by the faster more skilled man. If you remember Calzaghe outboxed him, outbrawled him, tossed him around, swarmed him, countered him from both the inside and outside.

    I remember clearly.

    It did not look like Lacy was capable of anything that night. But his gameplan was wrong. No matter how you twist it.

    Lacy trained at least 4 months on this gameplan... Also - he was pretty confident, that he could KO Joe within the first six rounds.

    Lacy was one dimensional-ish, that was his one dimension. The only one he'll ever have.
