Taylor??? Froch?? I just noticed on Fightnews schedule, that it says Lacy is fighting some guy named Epifanio Mendoza...anyone know him?? :huh
the guy Dawson knocked out in 4? yep, thats the guy, checked on boxrec. He is a lemon. Didn't land 1 punch on Dawson and it wasn't exactly cause Dawson looked incredible. I think this was on the same night that Pavlik knocked out Taylor
Mendoza's actually a solid journeyman. I'd make him about a 3-2 underdog against Lacy. He fought Dawson on short notice and he knocked out Tukumbo Olajide, who was probably the best prospect in the world a few years ago, and also Ruben Williams. He hits hard, harder than Lacy.
Mendoza seems ok. Dawson may have worked him over but Lacy ain't Dawson. For a tune-up, on espn no less, this is an ok fight. Lacy probably wins but if he keeps looking like **** than he could be in for a tough night.
Mendoza seems decent... He knocked out Rubin Williams.. A lot of that had to do with Rubin tryna make 160... He's a punchin Columbian.... and jeff been inactive.......
Both, he is just totally shot just watch 2 fights before Calzaghe and 2 after, the difference is insane.
this has more to do with Jeff Lacy getting a massive injury to his left shoulder which needed surgery and 1 year of rehabilitation. It was actually Tsypko that Lacy was fighting when he got injured, not Joe Calzaghe
