It was a competitive fight throughout with former IBF super middleweight champion Lacy winning by scores of 95-95, 96-94, 97-93. After the bout, Lacy called out Roy Jones Jr., who was in attendance.

Lacy shouldn't be picking on old guys let Roy retire peacefully.

@ lacy barely winning a fnf fight then calling out an ancient fighterthat can probably end his career

jones can beat this bum and trust ihate jones

Well, I'm going to be brave and pick Wright. He'll probably take a lot of punishment since his shell defense probably isn't the best thing againstsomeone like Williams who throws a ton of punches. The thing is that it's hard to land clean punches on Wright and those punches that do get througharen't obvious. I think Wright on the other hand will land a lot of clean punches since Williams does get hit a lot of and Wright is an accurate counterpuncher. I expect it to be close since some will favor Williams' activity but I think Wright will take it on clean punching.

If Winky doesn't jump on Paul in the first few rounds there's no way he's going to win the fight.

 

[gunna get it]

Winky Wright is going to be counting Lights.
he has no chin. thats why he keeps his gloves glued to his face.
Tonite his reflexes will have slowed and the rust will surface.
Goodnight Ronald.

Exactly how I feel

I think Winky's lack of activity is going to allow Paul to steal rounds.

Really? He stood up to Taylor at 160 and Hopkins at 170 without any problem. Even if he does have a poor chin it doesn't seem to mattersince he defense has proven effective.

I still can't get out the image of Quintana teeing off on Williams. Granted they have different styles but I think a crafty vet like Wright can definitelyfigure him out and land at will. Of course there is still the question of ring rust and age but if he's the same fighter who fought Hopkins he's gotthis.

 

[gunna get it]

I think this gonna turn out like Terry Norris vs Sugar Ray Leonard.

and yea Pun lost to Quintana but he fought the wrong fight (lackluster at that) it happens.

when he came out sittin on his punches we saw what he did to Carlitos. pobre sito.

 

[gunna get it]

btw Thrilla in Manilla special and pacman/Hatton 24/7 come on before the fight

 

[bigmike23]

but both threw so many bombs all night they had winky fighting with his hands down towards the middle rounds of each fight

 

[theprofessorofpugilism]

I'm rollin with Paul easy tonight. Winky hasn't looked good, personally, since the Jermain fight, and he's fighting a young long dude who throws amillion punches. It won't be a shutout, but i say Paul WIDE, like 9-3,10-2 status.

 

[gunna get it]

Damn, Joe frazier got a lotta hate in hi heart for Muhammed Ali.
I feel for him, Ali really went hard on him psychologically

 

[el producto79]

I'm ridin w/ Paul too, and Arreola(Ram Pride).

This Ali/Frazier documentary is pretty good so far and it's only 15 minutes in.

 

[gunna get it]

this +$+* is great.
damn Ali really crossed that Line.
No Wonder joe cracked his jaw in that 1st fight

 

[bigmike23]

damn i never knew ali went extra hard on frazier like this. he lucky he ant get beat down outside of the ring

 

[kicks4days]

anyone with the live feed?

 

[gunna get it]

son. that is the greatest left hook in the history of boxing. and somehow. Ali got up

 

[airmaxpenny1]

Chances of Winky pulling a Bernard tonight?

 

[bigmike23]

good god the grill man was throwing BOMBS that night

 

[gunna get it]

George threw nuthin but uppercuts and hooks

all connected too Jesus Christ

 

[stoneyjax]

damn! Larry Holmes said Ali was overrated as a boxer

 

[bigmike23]

larry holmes shut ur bum +%+ up

 

[mextra45]

Big George was the definition of cockstrong , the great days of the heavyweights when they inflicted violence upon each other

 

[gunna get it]

mextra, we'll never see heavyweights like that again. ever

Ferdie Pacceco is pissin me off.

 

[bigmike23]

ali doc is dumb, he is talking he hates that part of boxing cause they wouldnt stop the fight and someone could get killed but he let ali fight WAY longer thenhe should have to end his career

 

[bigmike23]

"i think he should be pushed into the flames"
