Gary Shaw Jeff Quotations

Jeff will defend his titles November 5 and Showtime will televise it. Jeff is not only the most active world champion in boxing, he is the shining light of the 12stone division. Jeff has successfully answered every challenge in his professional career, but when it came time for Calzaghe to face Jeff, his team threw in the towel.

Jeff will defend his titles November 5 and Showtime will televise it, ... Jeff is not only the most active world champion in boxing, he is the shining light of the 12stone division. Jeff has successfully answered every challenge in his professional career, but when it came time for Calzaghe to face Jeff, his team threw in the towel.

Jeff wants to fight exciting fights, he wants to fight good fights, and everybody in the U.S. knows Scott Pemberton is a banger, he goes into wars and he was number one in the 'BC and number five in the IBF. So I said let's give the fans their monies worth.

Jeff satisfied his mandatory against top-rated contender Robin Reid in August so he wouldn't be stripped and the fight would be a true world title unification fight, ... Reid was no warm-up fight.

Jeff is not looking past Robin Reid. Reid is the stiffest test Jeff Lacy will have faced in his 19-0 career.

He's a huge puncher as well as good boxer. He's definitely deserving to challenge a guy like Jeff Lacy. This fight is a credit to Jeff. He doesn't want any easy fights, ... He wants to become a fan pleaser and to fight the best guys out there. Scott Pemberton is a guy who deserves that shot, and in order to help boxing, you need to give people who have worked hard and are deserving a chance. Now Scott Pemberton has his chance.

I stuck up for him. I said Joe is a great champion. We went to Manchester to pay him the respect and he said at a luncheon with Lacy sitting there, 'I want the fight'. So I'm going to give him the respect and I'm going to give Frank Warren the respect. Then hopefully, we are going to get the fight done. But if he doesn't and he pulls out on us, he'll never fight Jeff Lacy again. Forever he will be known as the guy who ducked the big fight.

The only meaningful fighter and champion in the super middleweight division is Jeff Lacy, but if Joe wanted to come to the States then we would speak to Frank Warren.

This fight makes Jeff the man. It really makes him the man. A lot of times when you beat the man, you don't become the man. I believe in this fight if we beat the man, we'll surpass him.
