Jeff Lacy 170 vs. Epifanio Mendoza 171
Jose Armando Santa Cruz 135.5 vs. Miguel Munguia 136.75
Daniel Jacobs 163.25 vs. Sergio Rios 163.75
Carlos Velasquez 128 vs. David Vazquez 127.25
Juan Velasquez 125.5 vs. Edison Morillo 123.25

Explosive main event tonight as former champ Jeff Lacy takes on the spoiler Mendoza. Still looking to get back on track after losing to Calzaghe, Lacy really needs this win. There is talk of a fall match between him and fellow Olympian Jermain Taylor, but in his way is Mendoza. Mendoza burst onto the scene with a shocking 1 round KO over Tokunbo Olajide, a year later he crushed Rubin Williams in one round as well, so you know he'll come out swinging. Also do not miss one of the top baby propsects in boxing 6-0 Daniel Jacobs, a star in the making and former amateur champ. Fights start at 9, enjoy.

Thanks for the post. I think Lacy-Mendoza could be a great fight.

Good card. Supposedly lacy is finally 100% and is with his original trainer. Now we will see if he can make some noise or if he is just going be a somewhat name fighter with KO power. I am a fan of his but he needs to look much better then he did against Manfredo. This is a tailor made fight so it should bring the best out of both

Crazy to think how fast the boxing landscape can change (well, maybe not as fast as the mma landscape)....
Both Taylor and Lacy considered top prospects. Now they only have the potential of meeting up in a crossroads fight.

I hope Lacy is at the top of his game. I'd like to see what he can do now.
