PRESS RELEASE: Undefeated IBF super middleweight champion JEFF "Left Hook" Lacy scored a box office KO over local radio star PACO, "The WLLD Morning Show" stunt boy, today at the St. Pete Times Forum! Paco had challenged Lacy to a one-hour ticket selling duel at the Forum's McDonald's box office today to see who could sell the most tickets to Lacy's August 6 world title defense against IBO champion Robin Reid. Lacy was the clear victor, selling the majority of tickets, worth several thousands of dollars to the fifty-plus buyers who braved the heavy rain to trek down and buy the tickets directly from their favorite personality."Paco took it like a man," gloated the victorious Lacy. "I hope he takes it equally as well when he enters the ring as my sparring partner!"             Â
The stakes were high on this wager. Paco is now entitled to a world championship trip straight to knuckle junction...a sparring session Lacy!"             Â
Calls to Paco's health insurance plan have not been returned. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
