I don't buy that injury for a minute. He's just ducking me to get out of the fight.
"Jeffrey Scott Lacy" is a semi-retired United States/American boxing/boxer. He is a former International Boxing Federation super middleweight champion.
More Jeff Lacy on Wikipedia.He's not a fighter I can overlook at all. He was able to knock out Omar Sheika, a guy who I couldn't knockout, ... Sure, I wanted Calzaghe, but Scott Pemberton is a really good fighter.
I suspected all along that Calzaghe didn't want any of this. I kinda prepared myself for it but it is still disappointing.
It is an honor for me to fight in the (Tampa) bay area, ... It's something I always dreamed of doing -- defending a world title in the bay area. Now it has come true and now it is time for me to go to work.
It's like driving. You either get in an accident or you don't.
We will still fight on November 5th. Everyone had been telling me all along to have a backup plan because Calzaghe was going to fallout. I had too much respect and trust for Frank Warren and Joe Calzaghe to do that but those days are over.
I think my performance I put on tonight spoke for itself [on what he would like to say to Joe Calzaghe]. The shirt Gary gave him [Reid], 'all he did was come to America and get knocked out by Jeff Lacy,'...we do what we say. We do what we say.
Jim has never taken a dime from either one us, ... In fact, he's given us more money than we could ever give back. He's a great guy. You couldn't ask for a better person.
I can't get up for training unless I'm in a big fight, and this is going to be a fight fans want to see. He has power, and I have power. It's going to be a war.
