Roy Jones Jr Destroys Lacy - TKO 10
August 16th, 2009
8CountNews was ringside for Roy Jones Jr vs Jeff Lacy in Biloxi, MS. It was early in the fight when Roy started to impose his will, and he didn't look back. Each round was pretty much the same thing, Roy beating Lacy to the punch, and Lacy coming forward eating leather. Roy Jones still has very fast hands, and although he had the perfect opponent in front of him, he still showed signs of complete greatness. Current light heavyweight world champion, and now IBO cruiserweight world champion, Danny Green was ringside after his fight taking it all in, because it appears as if all systems are go for a Roy Jones Jr vs Danny Green fight in the near future.
It would be the 10th round when the Lacy camp decided that they have had enough, and decided to stop the fight. This was a good decision, there was no way Lacy could win this fight, and his face showed it. Bleeding from both eyes, Lacy was a defeated, beaten man and had no argument with the stoppage. After the fight Lacy showed a lot of class and congratulated Jones on a job well done.
Roy thanked the fans of Mississippi, and promised to be back in the ring in the very near future.
