there are a few things you havent taken into account... 1. McGuigan was on an undercard so he was fighting earlier in the evening Lee is main event he will be in the ring at about 9pm this is after the sun sets so it will be around 30 degrees celcius 2. The Kronk Gym is HOT I've heard this from several people who have been there it is well known for being boiling (as is breens in belfast) Lee has stated this himself when asked about the tempeture. 3. Chavez has never fought outside either he WILL be weight drained it will be as much of a problem for him as it will be for Lee he is used to fighting indoors in nice airconditioned statiums and gyms... Finally I will be in El Paso on Thursday so I will let you guys know what the weather is like at around 9pm to see if we have anything to worry about:deal

Have changed my mind and im now going for a ko in the first round,Steward will have Andy attack from the start to try and quieten the 40,000 crowd and i think Jr. will walk into one early and finished early!!!!
Mike Perez and David Price on the cards http://www.irish-boxing.com/2012/06/mike-the-rebel-perez-to-face-david-price-on-july-14/
It's ridiculous that they'll show a fight between an American and a Polish fella for some made up title and wont show an Irish fighter fighting for a genuine title (well so to speak lets not go down the which titles which road) I bet if Andy Lee wins networks will be fightin over who gets to show his next fight!
Has the emerald show been moved back to the roadhouse?if so i take it the Casey/booth fight is a no go. also looks like Moffet will box Tolan any news what happened Cruise?

Hopefully someone gets the Lee fight on. **** it at this rate I would be happy with a replay the next day as it looks and more no one will show it. Any way I put on a double for the weekend Lee @ 2/1 and Munroe @ 13/8 both to win.

Very disappointed in the mainstream Irish media for their lack of coverage for the Andy Lee fight. It's a disgrace tbh.
