Andy Lee v Gibbs tonight+ McCloskey(Free Live stream )

Tonight Andy Lee takes on the toughest test of his career against Willie Gibbs, despite losing his last fight . If Lee doesn't correct the mistakes of the Vera fight he could find himself stopped again and his career would be in tatters .

On the undercard World class prospect Paul McCloskey takes on English Light-Welterweight champion Nigel Wright . Wright recently lost a very close decision to the World Class(4th WBC) Ajose Olusegun and should provide a good test for Wright .

The undercard sees decent Irish prospect Stephen Haughian, recently come un-stuck Irish-English Welterweight John O'Donnell, Jason McKay, Keith Cresham, Jamie power(of Limerick, where this is taking place) and Irish-Canadian Logan McGuinness .

As usual there is a live stream from here: http://www.rte.ie/sport/webcastschedule.html
, which starts at 21:30 Irish time or 16:30 Eastern United States time .

Should be a good nights boxing so enjoy .

 

Well action in the arena started an hour and 45 mins ago but tv coverage starts in 45 mins .

McCloskey v Wright will probably be on first but even if your just waiting for Lee you should have a look at McCloskey, he's very talented .

 

That was Miranda's 28th fight and he had already fought for a World title .
As pointed out below Lee doesn't have Miranda's power either .

Raymond Joval had to fight very hard to win a close 10 round decision over Gibbs in a real war . Any stoppage or wide decision win for Lee will be impressive, especially considering what happened him against Vera .

 

Daniel Edouard could have very well have gotten knocked out himself the way he fought Gibbs .

Since Lee is an Emmanuel Steward fighter I'm expecting Andy to fight a cautious rangy fight tonight and not get involved with Gibbs at any point . I reckon he'll take him out late .
