Why can't I find the weigh ins anywhere? For some odd reason it just isn't anywhere, so I am assuming that they are going to weigh in the day of the fight. Strange....
Maybe it was in the contract since Taylor is officially moving up (instead of his last fight bieng a catch in the middle, 165).
Is Lacy a good bet at +400, sure, but its a true gamble. One that I am not willing to take. Rumors are that Taylor got the best of Lacy when they sparred in the Olympics. Regardless of that rumor, Lacy just doesn't have it. I believe he never did have it. They built him up to be feared. He got handled by Calzaghe, and has a couple weak ass wins afterwards (scraping by all of them) and 1 bieng controversial in my eyes (Tsypko, which I thought won the fight).
Jermain Taylor lost to Pavlik twice. Other than that, he's still a bad ass. He pretty much had it in the bag in the first fight (finishes that round 2 about 9 out of 10 times).
I'm going to have to pass on -600/+400
As of right now (nothing placed yet) I am going with the U10.5 +130
It's a gamble. The safe play is obviously the O10.5 (-160)
Reasoning
1) Lacy has an untested chin. Calzaghe knocked him down, and Calzaghe isnt a chin checker. So if Calzaghe knocked him down (not a slip, not a flash, he was knocked down) then Taylor should have a very good chance of blasting his face.
2) Lacy still has a "left hook", he probably has a 15% chance of landing it flush and getting a KO, but hey, its there at least.
3) In my eyes, this over under should be much different. I think the over should be at least -220. It's closer though, which makes people want to jump on the over.
I am still waiting for the weigh ins. I am going to roll the dice on this one and play the Under. Most likely just for 1 unit for kicks. Confirmation after the weigh in.
