This kid is only 20 years old, but already 17-0 (15) professionally (after having racked up a 196-5 record in the amateurs before turning over at the age of seventeen). The college student - who is of mixed Korean & Mexican ancestry (but identifies more with the former side of his roots, and wants to give S. Korea its next world champion to get behind even though he was born here in the USA) is taking a minor step up in class versus Mexican veteran and former world title challenger Miguel De Jesús Zamudio Alonso tomorrow night on the Shohjahon Ergashev vs. Adrián Estrella card on ShoBox. I'm looking forward to my first glimpse of him in action. Despite his credentials (and some high praise from some credible observers inside the industry) and having logged rounds as sparring partner for the likes of Timothy Bradley (and bear in mind; Timbo hasn't fought in four years, so this is when Lee was still a teen amateur. It's been said that Bradley actually begged young Lee for some advice on footwork! ), Devin Haney, Mauricio Herrera, and Mikey García - there hasn't been much chatter about him. In fact, his name only appears on this forum thrice before now. Let's see what Lee's about.
Korean guy I know says it you're not truly Korean if you don't do your national service. Jay Park being his example of an American playing at being Korean.
