I felt good. He fought a good fight and I can't take anything anyway from him. He never said a bad thing about me the entire time, but he didn't knock me out, though. I'll have to be honest. I thought I was going to come in here and knock him out because I didn't think he could handle the pressure. I have to tip my hat off to him because he could handle it.
More Quotes from Jeff Lacy:
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.Jeff Lacy
Sometimes you need a loss to win. I think it could be a good learning experience for me. Joe is a great champion. I shot for the No. 1 guy in the division. Maybe someday we can do it again.

Of course If the winner of the fight wants to meet at 164 I'd love to make that fight immediately. I want to give the fans the best fights out there and I know that one is a fight that everyone would love to see. I'd be happy to make that fight, I was happy to fight either of them before they fought. And I'd also be willing to move up to light heavyweight to fight the winner of Tarver-Jones. That fight would be HUGE in Florida.

It is an honor for me to fight in the (Tampa) bay area, ... It's 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.

The ring can be a real lonely place. I've been fighting 20 years, ever since my dad took me into the gym at the age of eight because I'd been fighting kids at elementary school. The first guy I fought in the gym gave me a real whipping. So I decided there and then to become a proper fighter.

I don't want to move forward until I'm 110 percent mentally and physically. I know my fans want me to move on, and I'm working toward that, but if I'm not ready mentally and physically ready, I won't. I need to grow from this. I'm at my rebuilding stage. It's about me taking time, relaxing and then coming out and doing what I have to do to rebuild.
