Lacy’s opponent Italian reality TV “Contender” star Peter Manfredo Jr. Is looking for some redemption after being controversially stopped in his first title shot against super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe. Lacy not long ago was regarded as the sports next big star in the mold of Mike Tyson, with his big power and menacing ring presence, he was a rising star. Then the 30 year-old St. Petersburg, FL, resident ran into Joe Calzaghe. Calzaghe humiliated and dismantled Lacy over 12 rounds, exposing Lacy’s lack of technical ability. Jeff is a strong banger with a granite chin but he lacks head movement, footspeed and combination punching. Lacy has a good jab but he doesn't seem to have a plan B if plan A doesn't work out. Peter Manfredo Jr. has fought the majority of his career at 160 lbs. and against a physical specimen in Lacy he will be the smaller man at 168 lbs. Peter has shown improvement under highly regarded trainer Freddie Roach, as his combination punching and defense have developed nicely. Manfredo is a good athlete with a solid chin and a long boxing pedigree. Peter is a tough fighter that knows how to pound the body and he isn’t afraid to mix it up on the inside. Manfredo can be too confident in his own chin sometimes and he gets hit with punches that he shouldn’t. Even though Manfredo takes a good shot to the head, he can be hurt to the body and is susceptible to cuts. Can Lacy return to form with a show stopping KO over Manfredo?
