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
