LACY BACK FROM DL WITH WIN OVER MANFREDO
By Scott Shaffer


Jeff Lacy W10 Peter Manfredo... In the chief support for Mayweather-Hatton, Peter Manfredo missed a huge opportunity to break into boxing's top level, as he lost a unanimous decision to comebacking Jeff Lacy by scores of 95-94, 96-93 and 97-92. Lacy was coming back from major left shoulder surgery and though he fought aggressively, the left hook that gave him his nickname wasn't quite the same. Lacy started slowly but knocked Manfredo down in the fourth round and based on his excessive holding, Manfredo seemed to go into a defensive shell for a few rounds after that. Manfredo fared better in the last two rounds as Lacy suffered a bad cut over his right eye, but the rally was not enough to overcome the rounds he gave away. After a 2006 that feautred a blowout loss to Joe Calzaghe and a major shoulder injury suffered against Vitali Tsypko, Lacy returns from year off to improve his record to 23-1. Manfredo suffers a discouraging loss to drop to 28-5. source: hbo ppv

Should be a good fight , ill take lacy i think he has too much power for manfredo.

By the way did Manfredo back out of the Green fight again?

 

[ItalianBull]

I hope Lacy bounces back and looks impressive in this one.

 

[TommyGunn]

lacy will destroy manfredo, these pretender guys are all being found out now and its about time, i want to see lacy back in the title mix and i see it happening.

 

[LeedsLad]

Oh man, Manfredo is gonna get absolutely murdered. Its going to be brutal.

lacy will destroy manfredo, these pretender guys are all being found out now and its about time, i want to see lacy back in the title mix and i see it happening.

i agree. i want to see Lacy bounce back. i think he really needs to work on his defense move around and use the jab more.

 

[tyson]

is this fight on for sure?

lacy wins 5th round KO

 

[BigDigga]

no, nothing official as of yet but, it's being negotiated from what i understand. like dccjl said, lacy needs use the jab more, and i think he'll be back with a vengence.

 

[TysonJones]

i'd like to see lacy vs bika, this fight is still up for grabs for the undercard of hatton/mayewather, most likely, manfredo will be replaced.

 

[TysonJones]

Looks like this fight is almost a done deal for the undercard of floyd and hatton

 

[LeedsLad]

Nice, will be good to see how good Lacy looks.

 

[TysonJones]

If he can land a few left hooks it'll be over.

 

[Intellectual 1]

I don't see this fight lasting very long...

 

[TysonJones]

I hope not, i dont like manfredo.

 

[daveDaboxingfan]

none of these guys belongs on PPV

 

[TysonJones]

Its part of the undercard dave, and having lacy on a ppv undercard is great.

 

[daveDaboxingfan]

Its part of the undercard dave, and having lacy on a ppv undercard is great.

OHH Floyd VS RH
Duhhhhh

 

[TysonJones]

It's alright Dave, we all make mistakes haha. I would agree that if this was a main even on any ppv, it would be rediculous.

 

[LeedsLad]

Should be funny to watch Lacy annilihate Manfredo with ease:laugh:

 

[DCCJL]

i hope Lacy KO's his ass just like he did Pemberton. that was an awesome KO. Lacy jacks ya up with that overhand right. im glad this is a undercard fight. should be short nice action fight. hope he doesnt mess his shoulder up again. i had a feeling something didnt look right with Jeff after the 2nd in the Tsypko fight. he was on the verge of a KO on him when he stunned him in said round.
