I've seen only 2 clips of Lee, and one of them against Carl Daniels. The kid has serious power, to go with good movement and skills. I am not sure of his chin though, purely from the looks of it he might have a Tito-like kind of chin. Which if so, means he will taste the canvass at some point against Pavlik.
Manny and Lee were on Chicago radio this morning and Stewart said Lee has bested everyone in sparring including Cintron and Taylor.He added that he thinks Pavlik will be very hard to beat over the next few years at middleweight and said that Lee would be the most likely to dethrone Pavlik due to his size,style and long reach. Doesn't look like he wants Taylor to rematch Pavlik
I missed the first part of the interview where Stewart discussed the Taylor/Pavlik fight but i wouldn't be surprised to see them part ways
Thats the type all these young guys feast on to pad their records although i don't know why Lee is fighting a guy like this - it does him no good at all
Manny wanted to start moving him along after the Daniels KAyo. it's hard finding fighters sometimes who knows. it worked for Kelly Pavlik.
The good thing at least is Lee is staying active , this will be his 6th fight this year and boxrec have him fighting again in just over 2 weeks . Lee is one of the best two middleweight prospects around at the moment imo , the other is this guy http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=356831&cat=boxer
Do you think that guy is better than Mean Joe Green out of New York? I've seen Green fight on TV a couple of times. He looks pretty good. http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=301923&cat=boxer
I was at the fight My granny could have beat this guy and she is 88 Lee said after the fight he wants to fight stiffer competition but finding suitable opponents is hard to do
No wonder with Steward as his adviser/manager...don't get me wrong, I think he is a great coach but he shouldn't manage a guy he's training - this is far to much influence on a boxer by his...Lee should get a new manager who tries to sign him to a big promotional company...
