    Dolphil are supposed to be putting on a show next month, from the horse's mouth.

    Maybe that was the immediate euphoria of the Citywest show talking, but I'll take Phil's word for it. Somewhere out of Dublin and I think he said Castlebar

    This is the story of Andys career noone wants it. high risk low reward.Lee was promised a euro shot as his third fight with Peters i was at the press conference Peters said it was done,He beat Gibbs then belecham who after that got a crack at Barker who only got a shot cause Peters told Mackiln to give the euro crown up then he got a shot at the euro crown again cause it suits him.Dont get me wrong i love Macklin he is a real irish fighter in every sense of the word but Lee got screwed on this one....Dont know when we'll see him over this side again.
    The first european fight in Limerick being Kiko versus the big Bang is an insult to Andy Lee IMO and that is meant in no way to take anything from willie or kiko

    Emmanual Steward in his recent interview on On The Ropes, confirmed that they were offered a shot at the WBA against Sturm but they refused it as they want the winner of Williams v Martinez (which won't happen). That was Lee's big chance and he or his team refused it. So you can't say he hasn't got the breaks.

    Its a shitty chance, if he beat sturm by ko as that is the only way he could win then he would have to rematch him straight away and if done it the second time the WBA would enforce a mandatory against golovkin straight away.

    Now thats a lot of ifs to come through and a **** storm if there ever was one.

    If he gets a duddy fight in december and beats him on HBO then he is straight in the top ten of the WBC thanks to duddys ranking.

    I dont blame him for staying the usa , he will get far better opportunitys and recognition over there.

    How many ifs and buts are there in Lee fighting Duddy (I'll bet you anything it won't happen.) And then getting a shot at the winner of Williams/Martinez?

    Williams or Martinez are both tougher fights to win than Sturm and will both come with those rematch clauses also.

    It's very possible we'll be posting this time next year saying 2012 will be the year Lee gets his shot.

    ------------------------------------------
    I share everyones frustration on Lee believe me.
    Thing is this, I never heard they say there were offered the WBA shot. What I heard previously was that they might be considered for it and Lee said on the Ropes radio that he was willing to take Sturm on. It's a tricky one because no way is Lee going to get a decision there so he has to KO Sturm. Is Martinez/Williams on neutral territory really that much harder then Sturm in Germany? I believe Lee could get a decision over MArtinez/Williams. I also think he is right to go after them. If he thinks he is capable he probably is. I think he is the type of fighter who would improve the more he is pushed. I just dont think team Duddy want anything to do with Lee right now.
    Manfredo Jr might be decent too or Vera if it can be on the undercard.
