Andy Lee will face a familiar foe at The O2, Dublin on March 21st when he takes on former European title challenger Alex Sipos. Lee was a late addition to an already packed O2 line-up after a scheduled headline appearance at Madison Square Garden fell through last week. The two men are already familiar with each other having sparred at a Wladimir Klitschko training camp in Austria last year. Lees trainer, the legendary Emanuel Steward was very impressed with Sipos during those sessions and even invited the German to train at his famous Kronk Gym in Detroit. While Sipos never made it Stateside hes coming to Dublin and planning on making Steward wishing hed never set eyes on him in the first place. The Munich native Sipos has 19 wins and 2 draws from his 26 pro outings and his only stoppage defeat came courtesy of an elbow injury. The main event will create history as for the first time ever a Dubliner challenges for a world title in his native city with Bernard Dunne bidding for Ricardo Cordobas WBA world title. http://www.fightnews.com/?p=6361
All I can recall of Sipos is that he can take a decent punch..but doesnt exactly set the world on fire with his offensive brillance. I suppose for a late call up its alright.
I have never seen him fighting but he worked with Emanuel Steward last year. I think he is a good fighter but i'm pretty sure that Andy will win this fight :bbb
I agree with you... Andy will win, no doubt!! This is gonna be an exciting night and i am sure he'll use this chance and kick his butt... they know each other pretty good, they did some sparring together so i think Andy take this chance and know what he has to do to knock him out :good GO ANDYYYY GOOOOO:bbb Kati, let's check the flight maybe we can go to dublin for the fight..what do you think? I'd love to support Andy in the area... :happy
Yeah that is true... Andy knows him better then everyone... so I think the fight isn't a problem for him :happy Of course... let`s check the flight, maybe we will find a cheap flight to Dublin. That would be so cool and Andy would be happy to have us there
