Daniel Jacobs vs Andy Lee close to a deal on Wilder-Ortiz card

Great fight. Think Lee is a bit past it by now so I expect Jacobs to win by stoppage.

 

Can we now confirm that David Lemeiux officially ducked Jacobs?

We need to add it to the "ducks" list.

 

Reality check.

Lee got KOed by CHAVEZ JR.! And they're about THE SAME SIZE.

He's been done for 3 years.

 

At what weight? 168?

 

Care to elaborate?.......

 

Jacobs KO's Lee easily inside 6 rounds. Lee hasn't beaten anyone since 2014

 

They're both MWs so my guess would be 160

 

Lee has enough power to keep anyone in the division honest and can upset anyone. To write him off is silly IMO.

 

clearly hasnt seen that fight, nevermind that farce of a 'stoppage'

 

Lee still has the power to win the fight, perfect "punchers chance" scenario. I don't expect him to win but I wouldn't write him off.
His hook bailed him out against Korobov. I also thought he edged Quillan, even still a draw was respectable and he was very competitive with Saunders in the last fight where Saunders actually looked good.
Lee is a battled tested veteran. Past prime but game.
This is a good match. Jacobs should win but Lee deserves to get this fight made.

 

lol why are people acting like this is a good fight? Lee has fought once in 2 years since losing to BJS

 

I like Jacobs.

 

Great Fight...I favour Jacobs...

 

Andy has pulled off a couple - only a couple mind - of one-punch ko's, against poor opponents, in what, 15 years? Big deal!.

His prowess in this regard is greatly exaggerated. Never against anyone remotely as good/big and strong Jacobs.
The truth is that Andys fights are boring slow one-paced affairs, not exciting at all.
A realistic assessment of Andy shows he is a fairly mediocre boxer overall at top level - there is faaaar too much focus on his power. Really Andy is very beatable and all the more so nowadays. Jacobs would hammer Andy.

 

Andy Lee does not have a chin, but he does have power. Jacobs should beat Lee, but he can't afford to get hit by one of Lee's punches. I give Lee a puncher's chance, but that's all..................
