Jermain Taylor vs. Jeff Lacy
When: Nov-15 / 10:00:00 PM
Jermain Taylor appears headed for a November fight with former IBF super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy.
The bout will take place at 168 pounds as Taylor and Lacy will collide in a WBC super middleweight eliminator on Saturday night, November 15, at Vanderbilt University Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville, Tennessee. The fight will be televised by HBO and is being promoted by Lou DiBella, Golden Boy and Prize Fight Promotions.
Taylor (27-2-1) and Lacy (24-1) This was a bout that people talked about when they were teammates on the
2000 U.S. Olympic team. Jermain Taylor vs. Jeff Lacy. They both enjoyed early success in their pro careers and now, after a few setbacks, they will finally meet.
Taylor was the middleweight champion for more than two years after beating Bernard Hopkins in 2005. He lost that title to Kelly Pavlik late last year, then lost a catch-weight rematch with Pavlik in February.
Taylor, coming off of back-to back losses to Kelly Pavlik, needs this win to get back on the good path. Lacy, who has looked horrible in every fight he has been in since March 3, 2006, needs a meaningful win to advance his dying career. Alas these two former Olympic teammates will meet in the ring in a crossroads fight. Although Taylor has lost two fights in a row, including one by KO, most think he is in way better shape than Lacy. So more than likely Taylor will be the favorite in this fight. Lacy who fought last Wednesday almost got KOd in route to a MD over Epifanio Mendoza. That fight was supposed to be good looking tune-up for Lacy that almost cost him the Taylor. Taylor has not fought or been seen from since his February rematch loss to Kelly Pavlik. Rumors have stated Taylor looked to be pretty heavy, as high as 220's.
The next two dates being held by HBO for November 8, Roy Jones Jr. vs. Joe Calzaghe and Taylor Vs. Lacy appear to be November 15.
