the mirror has three day build up- not bad considering the Euro's. Also they printed all the latest as it happenings re the fight over the last few months. Irish-boxing.com gave it a load of coverage too
Hooray for us :/ That said, I've seen little or nothing elsewhere (the Mail aside, did the Star have much?) across the Independent or the Times or RTE for what is going to be a huge fight. The location is a bit of a killer here, imagine this fight was on in Dublin at the O2 or something?
I don't see him getting it either. Dom O'Rourke says word on the grapevine is that it's off until Friday. According to Gerry Callan, Pat Hickey says it's off until tomorrow.
I can see Andy stepping up to a new level on Saturday Look at some of chavez jrs punch stats... he gets hit more than Lee I can see Lee walking him on to some big shots. very tempted to throw money on the Lee stoppage

I tend to agree with you ,I think he has banished his demons when he beat Vera and come Sat I think and hope we will see his full potential shine through. Chavez eats more leather than Lee does and hasnt fought anyone with Lee's power and skills. Lets just hope Lee brings his A game and smashes Chavez so the judges dont screw him.
Chaves looks drained and Andy looks a lot bigger, im putting ,money on the Lee stoppage hopefully make up for losing money on Pacman getting robbed last week, only thing im worried about is theis is Andys first 12 rounder - Pics over at the scene .
