Andy Lee vs Howard Eastman!!!!!!

Lee should beat Eastman convincingly - he is much faster and has more power than Duddy who beat Eastman better than the final decision suggests.We will finally get to see Lee's chin be tested which is the one question mark hanging over him
Lee KO 8:deal

 

Yeah, it was close, but it was Duddy. Duddy wen life and death with Yory Boy Campas. Losing a close fight to Duddy shows how far Eastman has fallen in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Howard. He's had a good career and has been a good contender for a long time. But if Lee has trouble with the current version of Eastman, it says some bad things about Lee.

 

Lee TKOs Eastman

 

Good fight & a good solid test for Andy Lee. This wouldn't be a walkover.....................

 

Vincent - didn't you also say that Lee was supposed to fight Giovanni Lorenzo on the Pavlik/Taylor undercard ?:huh

 

Lee by UD if it happens.

 

Vincent, I'm a Lee fan, but here in Ireland, Steward is making some crazy statements about his prodigy. Steward actually claimed that Lee was going to be even better than, now wait for this, Lee was going to be even better than Sugar RAY ROBINSON. Talk about superhype.

 

are you being serious ardy,i havent heard that one yet,gota laugh and kind of cringe at that,slightly embarassing!theres a huge open market in ireland with no boxer really filling the void at the minute entirely and maybe he is hyping lee for a huge fight in croker or something like that!

 

I kid you not greengloves. I want Lee to succeed. But Manny shouldn't be filling the boys head with shite. Lee needs time to develope, give him another year of learning fights.
Bob Arum expects John Duddy to challenge Pavlik in June. Although I live in Belfast I will do my best to attend the fight.

 

aye im the same man,i heard rumours of duddy fighting the kings hall on paddys,and then of course a title fight,only thing is im a student and dont work so i aint got a **** loada money to be taking to the US lol

aye definatly,manny seems to be acting a bit of a rare one these days,wish the MW division was more competitive there would be so many more better fights!

 

i No Duddy wont be in the Kings Hall on March 15th, he will be in Madison Garden Theatre instead.
Your a Derry lad right! I would beg ,borrow or steal to get to this Duddy world title fight. he has a real chance against glass chin Pavlik.

 

i know, i know, i would be highly ashamed of myself if i didnt get to his world title fight.it would be as big as when charlie nash beat ken buchanan for the derry people,we aint got much going for us these days so it coms as a warm welcome,especially since it all came out of the blue.the derry bandwagons really frying my head at the minute though,like at the last fight people from derry who call themselves boxing fans were like so who is this eastman guy,or after the furlan fight everyone was like 'duddy for heavyweight champ' was laughing my ass off.boxing is definatly only on the outskirts of the sporting radar in derry and has needed something like this for a long time.

yea,i definatly agree duddy does have a chance against pavik,but in all fairness the further he progresses up the rankings he looks more and more like a one dimensional fighter.

 

I thought Steward said that Lee has the ability to be the best since SRR not better than him.Still thats stretching it a bitatsch

 

John fights the way he fights.Yes he has to work on more head movement, and he needs to stop standing in range when he,s not punching. But he's never going to be a fancy Dan, and he's going to have to win his fights the hard way. John has a great chin, with a fair amount of power and has loads of heart. He,s fantastic for Irish boxing.
