Official Andy Lee thread

[POL]

Lads, we have a live one I reckon, looks like the real deal, most exciting prospect since McGuigan IMO. Did what he had to do against Falliga who just wanted to duck and dive.

Aside, notice the respect shown towards Falliga's entrance and the Argentine anthem compared to the scum that attend Bernard Dunne fights, a credit to Limerick in fairness

i agree, wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of one of his punches. REAL POWER.

[delzer]

was a great sporting occassion. lee looks more impreessive everytime he fights.

looks genuine quality

[DogTheLangerHunter]

Good to have a major sporting event outside of Dublin also

[Forsberg]

It's worrying what Stewart said after the fight about negotiating a title fight this year against the winenr of Duddy and Pavlik (ie Pavlik) It's very soon for him.. Only 15 fights against average opposition so far and he's only 23 . He should be given another 18 months imo

He is the real deal though . Very classy. He's got ridiculous range and power and he's a southpaw so he'll cause problems for anybody

[Echoboy]

Falliga wasn't up to much in that fight to be honest. Pavlik will hockey him if it goes ahead. Way too early.

[lionelhutz]

really impressed with lee alright. very very crisp and clinical and good defence. tis a bit early though to be lining up a title fight.

[POL]

yeah, I reckon he needs another 6 or 8 good tough fights before he is ready, at least 18 months away from being a real contender

[rocky black]

I dont think Duddy is rated that highly to be honest though. I think he's just seen over there as someone who's very marketable at the moment. I can see him losing a fight soon and just dropping off the map completely

[boshea]

He's a bit of a prospect alright, but it's still very very early days for him. It's way too early to be talking of world title shots for him yet though....maybe after 2/3 more fights this year he could look at European title, and after 2/3 defences of that (were he to win) then a legit world title shot would be well earned.
He seems like a decent guy as well.......confident in his ability, as he should be, but shows none of the arrogance that glass jaw dunne showed before he was handed his ass on a platter.

ya its refreshing to see a boxer with some balance, heard an interview with him a few months back. said he pesters stewart for old videos etc and loves learning about the sport. id say he'd baulk himself at the idea of a title fight at this stage. i didn't hear what he said about that subject after the fight though

[average homeboy]

Andy Lee would drop Duddy and any other Irish boxer floating around the middleweight division.In the not to distant future Lee is gonna drop a lot more top middleweights Pavlik,Taylor and Winky Wright better watch out.How the fuck is Duddy rated so highly he barely overcame Eastman.

eastman has a lot of experience and is a slippery oul fox of a fighter. i think steward is tryna get him as an opponent for lee
