Lee was supposed to have made his junior middle debut a couple of weeks ago, taking on light-hitting French welterweight Frank Horta. Neither of them made weight, so it was technically a middleweight contest, but Lee boiling down to his lightest since Vera I went life and death with Horta.
He didn't make weight and didn't deserve to win that fight...I dunno what he's trying to achieve going to LMW tbh
No longer take middleweight punches? :conf (while still technically getting paid to be, well, a prizefighter)
WTF... Arum ain't even lubing us up before he ****s us anymore. I'm a fan of WVII but this card is STR8-azz
Big Dan also said that Top Rank doesn't deserve the blame for a weak undercard on this one. Top Rank doesn't have the undercard fights on this, they belong to Cotto and DiBella.
Andy's record at MW was never impressive as Steward had him fighting low level journeymen for most of it. While I always thought he could add weight and move up to 168, his tendency to flake out and eat shots didn't spell out a healthy career against those guys. I haven't seen him at 154, but like Ronald Hearns, that frame is too lean at the weight. Goodbye Andy and hello JJII
Will be at the fight that night and while I wish there was at least one high profile undercard fight I am digging the addition of lee. Win, lose, or draw lee is exciting to watch
