Jeff "Left Hook" Lacy, coming off a disappointing eighth round stoppage of Donnell Wiggins on the Hatton-Tackie Manchester bill, has joined Freddie Roach as he builds up to a potential showdown with Joe Calzaghe.
"Existing trainer Roger Bloodworth will still be there at this point," said Lacy's manager Shelly Finkel, somewhat ominously. "The thing is, we feel that in order to get him to the next level, he needs some help."

This could be the move Lacy needs to propel him to the next level, people have been critical of his footwork and lack of a jab so maybe Roach can iron him out a bit. There's no doubting the kid has talent.
