More Quotes from Jeff Lacy:
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.Jeff Lacy
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.

Joe is a great champion. I have a lot of respect for him, ... That's why I wanted this fight so bad, because I have a lot of respect for him and I considered him, up until me winning the world title, one of the best champions in the division. And I want to fight the best.
Jeff Lacy
I'm trying to get these titles and I'm going to go out of my way to make it happen, but I'm not going to make stupid decisions. I want to unify the division and I'm going to get those belts sooner or later. I just want all the fans know that I'm trying my hardest to do it.
Jeff Lacy
I like being the underdog and I like to hear the crowd boo, ... By the end of the fight they'll be cheering for me saying, 'That was a great fight.'
