Matchup of a true outside fighter vs. inside fighter here. . . Lee too technically sound for the still somewhat crude Chavez? (although becoming more refined with each fight). . . Or is Chavez just too big, and strong for Lee? Does Lee have the foot speed, or power to keep Chavez at bay? Or can Chavez body him out over 12? One thing that worries me about Lee is his stamina. (his chin is fine). . . He seems to look VERY tired in the 8,9, and 10th rounds. . He's never even been 12. . . One of CHavez best qualities is his stamina.
Lee is a huge underdog, he potentially has the ability to easily out box Chavez from the outside, I think when you talk about him being tired is because alot of the fight he is in are on short enough notice. This one is the big one he and Emmanuel Steward have being crying out for for 3 years. Stamina wont be an issue, Judging may be.
I think Lee will be able to use his footwork in the first 3 rounds to maintain space and box... JCC jr. will ever be closing the gap and creating pressure. Body attacks will slow down Lee's footwork, and Lee will give in to the pressure attack by the mid rounds and start sitting in the pocket, or against the ropes. JCC jr may be able to close out Lee in the late rounds, unless if Lee is able maintain distance once in a while. This is an advantageous match-up for JCC's style, and the history of Lee gassing out in the end.... I want to see a Martinez/JCC fight happen
I give Lee a really good chance, but the referee and judges will be for Chavez. Lee will have to knock Chavez out to get a draw!
Sorry ass fight. Chavez jr way too big for punching bag Lee. Someone please bribe Chavez's people and promoter and get him to fight the real champ Martinez. These are all set up fights, and people don't buy Chavez bum of the month fights. He's a pretend champion and nothing more.
Lee will be underdog with judges,texas etc,but Lee has serious power and i thought his last fight with Vera was a very polished and diciplined performance,Chavez doesn't like Southpaws and Lee has great height also,my heart might be ruling my head but im going for Andy to win on points and a wonderful night for Irish sport and Irish boxing!!!!!!!
