    Quite dodgy tonight I thought. He was cut over the left in the 1st I think then got caught big in the 2nd or 3rd. Wasn't very impressive and he's definatley not ready for a Top10 fight yet but anyway he won a UD 99-91. He did hurt the German though in about Round 8 with a big right. Showed composure to fight 9 rounds withthe German coming in hands up with big shots applying the pressure throughout!

    The fight was closer than the scoring suggested though.

    Yeah he was getting caught with the overhand right/hook at an alarming rate and at one stage I thought we were gonna see the end of Andy tonight. Some lovely right hooks and spinning from Andy though

    His offense arsenal is top notch but his defense has way to many holes and I dont think he'll hang with the top dogs.

    I think the hype has gotten to Lee. Manny Steward was way too aggressive with Lee when they should've taken a slower pace with him. He is still defensively deficient and way too aggressive. While pushing the pace and coming forward isn't bad, there's a such thing as playing it safe from time to time. Lee doesn't ever take his foot off the gas and when you throw a lot of punches that means you can be countered with regularity.

    Lee can certainly get better but right now he strikes me as a solid top 10 guy but never a champion.

    Steward is a great trainer but I don't think he's right for Lee..

    Lee had a hard time against a guy who lost his last three. Steward his definitely not for him.

    I havent seen the fight but Sipos is better then his record suggests.

    Second tier kind of european fighter but with the chin and skill level to hang in there.

    Lee has turned into a southpaw John Duddy.

    Yep! You hit it on the nose! Sipos is better than his record suggests! Lee got the job done!

    If you mean a hyped irishman then I agree...but they are certainly different figthers.

    I blame Steward though..he is a such a attention seeking ******. Where does he get off saying Lee will be a ATG and future HOF after he has had only 6 fights or something.
    Cant be good for a kids head.

    I was there tonight and thought he struggled, his defense is very poor, get's tagged way too much, that is the single biggest thing he needs to work on, boxed better on the outside but keeps getting sucked into brawl's which isn't his game.
