    we cant forget that Andy hasnt fought in the US since Vera and alot of the american public didnt see his fantastic display against Gibbs.

    hes a very likeable guy I have no doubt he will capture the imagination of the american public in the future!

    He will just need to get more fights over there the thing is i dont think they want lee fighting nobodies they want him stepping up competition every time he enters the ring

    heres the interview I did with andy a few weeks ago

    I still feel it could be better for him if he was to go the European route, fighting from Ireland. Done right he could be the champion within two years, then he goes back to America a 26-year-old with a bigger reputation.

    Was Echols a good enough step up or just a game opponent for his first fight back after the op? I haven't seen him fight but with nearly a 15-year gap between the two, ANdy would have been expected to do something decisive, for me.

    completely agree with you!

    Echols would have given lee a good work out without a doubt but it would be a fight i would expect lee to win.

    but lets not forget hes coming back from a long lay off!

    So it seems like the door is still open for Rogie :deal

    it really comes across when a reporter has a love for the sport as opposed to a journalist that has been asigned a job.

    the only reason Jamie would fight him is for the exposure in the US - kinda defeats the object if they had it here or in Ireland.
