    In fairness I think he's been crying out for that rematch for a long time now but Vera won't go for it. Why would he, being the guy who beat Lee has been his meal ticket since.

    No they can't, but they could get him a decent fighter to test his skills against.

    Nothing wrong with staying busy. It's another, albeit bull****, victory and makes his record that bit more attractive looking.

    He seems to be looking for a fight with Duddy in December. It is better to have fought this upcoming fight than not to fight at all. He needs to earn his bread aswell.

    Nobody would be bitching about Lee if he didn't fight until December (against a decent opponent) but now loads of people are getting bent out of shape at the fact he is fighting a bull**** fight. What's the problem, he is planning on fighting one more fight over the same period of time. I can't understand the outrage. If this had been his first fight in a year, fair enough.

    in all fainess will michael walker is as good an opponent as vera
    lowry isnt up to much but ****it if he feels its better to get in the ring and get another win on his record then doing nothin then thats his choice
    lee has been calling out for big fights lately hopefully he gets a fighter to fight him soon in the mold of duddy or lopez or rubio and then lets see how he does

    The reason people are getting bent out of shape is there is no learning curve. He is fighting the same level of opponent every fight, or possibly in this case worse.

    I am frustrated also. Thiam for an opponent pissed me off but Walker was a decent opponent on short notice. I'm sure the big fights are just around the corner and I know if Barker, Macklin, McEwan or Duddy want to make a fight with him he'll definitely take them on. It's not like he doesn't have the ambition.

    I really enjoy watching him so I hope all you say happens. But I don't think all you guys can defend this latest fight.

    It's perfectly acceptable. The Thiam fight was a lot more unforgivable than this one.
