Me too, round 5. Woke up in the 11th
People at the fight were walking out after the 3rd.

I kept dozing off for microsleeps. The most competitive fight of the night was between me and my eyelids.

Lacy hasn't got fantastic power, but his physical strength is such that he can just bludgeon people to the canvas, Reid just couldn't keep his footing when Lacy hit him, only the last knockdown really hurt him badly.
I think Calzaghe would have to hit him hard and fast and try and get him out of there early, because Lacy is too busy to be beat by a one handed opponent.
Calazage can just give him a boxing lesson and I don't think it'd be that hard. In and out combinations while Lacys looking for those big swinging shots that a good boxer will see a mile away.

Surely nobody can predict a Calzaghe win against Lacy with any conviction. Calzaghe looked so ragged and disorganised on Saturday and that against a guy who wasn't even punching back. When he starts opening up and going wild he looks like a novice. What if his hand went against Lacy? He would get absolutely blasted with one hand. The fight will not happen anyway as I have been saying all along.

Allegedly Joe 'unfortunatley' Calzaghe was at the A&E Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny on sunday ! Find it strange for a multi millionaire sportsman to go the the local A&E the day after breaking/damaging his hand. Surely if it was that bad he would have had treatment saturday night and then see a specailist maybe on Monday , cant believe hes not seeing someone privately! And he jumped the queue (allegedly).

Lacy doesn't just wing away, and he has very impressive hand speed for a man of his build, look at the work he did on the inside against Reid, those were tight arc uppercuts and hooks, not winging bombs.
