I'm not sold on Taylor, he gets bullied whenever he fights an aggressive fighter... imo, he has no heart, he doesnt seem interested in the least when he fights. There's no passion in this guy.
I think Taylor will end Lacy's career. I know Lacy is the bigger guy, but Taylor is a great championship fighter. Taylor's experience will take over and be too much for Lacy. Taylor has a great chin and he can pop also.
I expect him to finish him off although its possible Lacy just continues on with slurred speach being stopped in 4 rounds by club fighters for now on. Lacy was never a great fighter but he was a good fighter until Calzaghe ruined that or should I say Calzaghe and Lacys corner and ref for not stopping that horrible non stop beating. Taylor isnt a huge puncher nor a great a finisher so I seen him just cracking his good all night hurting him several times and just beating on him for all 12.
lacy has had so much psychological trouble coming to terms with the sport lately that i think that will play a role in both his poor showing (to come, sadly -he was a great fighter) and his subsequent retirement.
me either. Taylor is hungry and will be looking to make an example out of Lacy. Sure Taylor got wrecked in the first Pavlik fight but showed no signs of mental breakdown despite losing the second fight. Taylor is a solid dog and I'm sure he will reestablish his greatness Taylor-Kessler anyone????
