    What my concern is Shamrock, is there is an awful lot of hype surrounding Lee at the moment. Steward should ease off with the spin and concentrate in making Lee a more rounded fighter.He is still a novice in the pro world, so treat him accordingly.

    Probly needs a bit more experience Ardy, but Stewards no fool, he knows his protege. I would have more faith in Steward, his livelihood and reputation is at stake in his judgements, he's got much to lose!

    might have already been mentioned; Andly Lee is featured on ESPN.COM in a video interview. he has an espn fight in march..after he destroys this argentinian in limerick, he will come back to the states to prep for that fight.
    i recently got to speak with him shortly after his sparring/training at the klitchko/kronk camp here in west palm beach...he is a great kid...will make ireland proud!!!!
    us yanks LOVE the fighting irish!!!!!:happy :bbb

    Hello Iceman, I read there was a possibility that Lee could be on the Klitscho/Ibragimov undercard.

    YES, IT WAS GREAT... they have a huge tent just outside the PGA national golf clubhouse...the site of golf's honda classic ( tiger is playing in it; he lives 10 minutes away). klitchko and the kronk gang are training there for his upcoming bout, and it is open to the public 4-6pm...i got there a bit early and in time to see andy spar and hit the bags...most everybody was watching klitchko, so i went over to andy during his break and i spoke of his great Youtube KO hilites; it brought a big smile to his face..great kid, it seems. i just told him he was gonna be huge soon, and told him to KEEP FOCUSED...he said ty and said he would work hard.
    check out the espn.com video interview..charming young guy; great for boxing!!!!!!!!!!!!
