Irish Boxing

Good match, nice to see another Irishman in a world title fight. Cant see Andy winning but im hoping he puts up a very good performance which gets him some more big fights.

 

Lou DiBella was on "Off the ball" on Newstalk confirming the Lee/JCCJ fight.

 

can u find a link to it pal? im just about to rush out the door would be lovely to have it here when i got in to work!

 

I'd say it'll be up as a podcast tomorrow. Check the newstalk website tomorrow morning

 

Im hoping Andy pulls off the upset here, just to prove to all the people who think hes shite here that hes a good fighter:bbb

 

Yea and scanning the threads there's a fair few of them on here. Think it'll go to points and andy will defo be chavez's toughest test yet. His jab being the biggest weapon he has

 

so by the looks of twitter it looks like magee jr,tyrone mckenna and paddy gal lookin to go pro soon
hopefully mcloughlin and few others follow suit

 

It looks like Lee v Chavez, Jr. is to take place in Texas. Lee has no hope of a decision victory there. None. He'll have to knock him out, which I think he can do. Andy will be up against the crowd, the judges, the referee, who is almost sure to be Laurence Cole, and the Texas "Commission." Chavez will not be tested for any diuretics or anything else either. I'd almost prefer he fight Sturm in Germany, but I still think Andy takes this fight.

 

Andy Lee to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in El Paso for WBC World title

I've been saying this for ages now. Lee has no chacne of getting a decision. JccJr will weigh 10lbs heavier at least. But maybe Lee can get the KO:bbb

 

chavez will out weigh him by 5lbs at most....

 

Getting robbed in a high profile fight like that is as good as winning.

Lee will have to sign away a large chunk of his life to get that shot but if he is robbed then he gets the credit for winning but doesnt get tied into the options.

 

great news re Lee-delighted for him.Who is going over.. max banjo whats the cheapest way to do it- have you attended a few lee fights?
