After a three year layoff, former world champion Jeff Lacy returned to the ring with a third round TKO victory against Martin Verdin. Lacy improved to (26-4, 18 KO's) with the victory. It doesn't look like Lacy has lost his famous power since his layoff however he did look rusty in the ring. Lacy expects to be competing in the super middleweight division and will continue to take it slow as he tries to fight his way back to the championship.
