Quotes by Jeff Lacy

“I took his best shots and he couldnt take mine. That was the difference of the fight. I get stronger as the fight goes on; he was getting weaker.”

“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.”

“It is an honor for me to fight in the (Tampa) bay area, ... Its 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.”

“Its like driving. You either get in an accident or you dont.”

“Jim has never taken a dime from either one us, ... In fact, hes given us more money than we could ever give back. Hes a great guy. You couldnt ask for a better person.”

“I suspected all along that Calzaghe didnt want any of this. I kinda prepared myself for it but it is still disappointing.”

“I dont buy that injury for a minute. Hes just ducking me to get out of the fight,”

“Hes not a fighter I can overlook at all. He was able to knock out Omar Sheika, a guy who I couldnt knockout, ... Sure, I wanted Calzaghe, but Scott Pemberton is a really good fighter.”

“I cant get up for training unless Im in a big fight, and this is going to be a fight fans want to see. He has power, and I have power. Its going to be a war,”

“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.”
