I'm surprised this fight hasnt been getting more attention. Enough with Calzaghe, and Jones. Whats everyones final picks for sat? Or maybe a better question... is ANYBODY picking Lacy? I think its all up to Taylor how this fight goes. If Jermain just wants to win, he'll win by UD. If he really wants to make a statement, he can stop Lacy, cause Jeff doesnt have much left. I hope he wins impressively. That'll set up the hype for match between him and Kessler.
Taylor wins. How depends on the shotness of Lacy. If he's got a little something left, he loses 10 rounds to 2, if he's completetly shot he gets stopped.
Calzaghe beat the piss out of Lacy so he must now be totally shot. Taylor had his ass kicked by Hopkins indirectly because Hopkins beat the piss out of Pavlick who beat Taylor twice and who also had his ass kicked by Calzaghe and Taylor but wins the vicious shotness circle for beating Pavlick who lost to Taylor. Bottom line ... who gives a fuck about two shot fighters , that were beat by shottier ones that were better and shittier at the same time. They're all shot. :kick: SARCASM.
Jermaine Taylor will smut, and smight, Lacy's rubbery Fraud Mayweather spider-face,.. it will be a preening of impressive proportions, Lacy will be feeling stoned, stones a plenty, as Taylor picks and nibbles all the bugs crawling under the channels beneath Lacy's oily black skin,...Lacy will believe that Jermaine is doing him the odd job by beating his skull box, and to me it's not a matter of Jermaine winning, it is the extent of permanent injuries inflicted on Jeffrey that's the real guessing game, I think poor modest Jeff will be mongolised.
I'd like see a KO, but Jermain couldn't get rid of smaller guys than Lacy. Although Jeff is quite limited he has showed he can take punishment as well. I'll take Jermain via wide UD. I wouldn't be surprised at to see Lacy quit in his corner with an injury though.
lacy has almost no chance. as soon as he gets close, where does his damage, taylor will tie him up. if the referee let's them fight through clinches, or better yet, penalizes taylor for holding, then we'll have a real fight because taylor can't fight for shit inside, and lacy, being significantly shorter than taylor, will have some success getting inside through taylor's jab. basically, the referee will decide the outcome to a large extent.
Before Lacy was laid up with injuries, I would have picked Lacy. Now, Taylor will win. Lacy is done. I can't see him winning based on his last 2 or 3 fights. He has looked rancid.
Two weeks in a row where I go against one of my favorites for the first time. Last week Roy, this week Jeff Taylor by decision in a fight that starts a lot better than it ends.
I think Taylor could stop him.. but might be content to go 12 and get a UD I dont know if Lacy is "shot" but I think he was just really never that good
Taylor isn't a killer instinct fighter. This won't be a good fight unless Lacy makes it one. Taylor boring ass UD
More than just a Win, Taylor Needs an IMPRESSIVE Win...He Hasn't Done that Since....Since...???... Lacy Gives Taylor that Opportunity...Sure, Lacy has the "Puncher's Chance", but Jermain's Chin is GOOD Enough to Withstand the Few Single Shots that Lacy Lands Flush... REED is Expecting a WAR Early...BOTH Guys have ALOT of Pride & BOTH of them Realize that the END of the Road is Near...& LOSS by Either Relegates them to OPPONENT Status Henceforth... So AGAIN, there'll B FIREWORKS Early...BOTH Men Fire Back when HURT or PRESSED.... The DIFFERENCE will B Taylor's JAB...He WON'T B Able to Miss Lacy w/It...After some Nice Toe to Toe Exchanges, Taylor's JAB will Pile Up Points... After Round 7 or 8, Lacy will B RIPE for a KO, but REED Isn't Sure if Jermain will Follow Thru & Seize the Moment ...As Such, REED Likes Taylor by a Wide UD.... REED:hammert:
Taylor by decision. I think it will be clear and somewhat closer than many expect. JT is not very good and never was. Lacy is done. I am cheering for Lacy though.
