Irish Boxing

I understand it must be hard to fight when your not motivated. Andy seemed a different person when he fought in Limerick against Gibbs. I always get the impression with Andy that he is homesick and out of place in the Kronk gym.
I know most people think that the US is the place to be but I think Andy would be better off coming home, finding a good trainer (Breen, Hawkins, etc), really knuckle down and work towards a Euro title shot.
What do you guys think?

 

i mentioned it to him.didnt really get a straight answer but i got the impression he wants to stay in america and become a top level fighter before he comes home.hes in the process of moving to new york so he wont be with manny day in day out anymore.imo this could be a good thing

 

i was thinking about someone he could fight and elcock came to my mind.hes a better level than recent opposition but very beatable.would be a good fight for a klitschko undercard as elcock would be known in germany having fought abraham

 

If he sorts out that defense he would defo have too much for Elcock who is getting on a bit.
It would be a good fight for Andy to get his confidence back as Elcock is a decent name.
I still think Lee is the most promising out of himself, Macklin and Duddy, he just needs to get his **** together.

 

Thats good news i heard he is with carruth so i hope he does well out of it.Sweeney has bounced around from Mannion to Breen back to Mannion back to Breen back to Manion and now Carruth it does show a lack of self motivation but maybe he has found his man with Carruth...

 

lads just seen there your man campillio who luis garcia refused to fight has won the wba super middle title by beating garay in argentina , garcia was right not too touch this chap at this stage of his carear

Lee not totally happy with display

Andy Lee knows that he still needs to make improvements despite beating Olegs Fedotovs on Saturday.
The Irish fighter made the most of his appearance on the Klitschko-Chagaev undercard as he floored his Latvian opponent.
It was the 18th win of his professional career, and one that showed the eager southpaw has been working hard in the gym since his last outing.
However, he was not totally satisfied with his performance and wants to make adjustments ahead of his next fight.
"Maybe I'm a bit too harsh on myself but I'm always trying to improve," said Lee.
"I felt I was a bit conserative on Saturday night and maybe I could have moved in for the kill sooner.
"I had to maintain a high level of concentration against him [Fedotovs] as he was hanging in there all the way through and he was very strong.
"I felt I wasn't at my best, but I wasn't at my worst either."
Lee did reveal that he hopes to compete in at least two more big fights by the end of the year with his next bout expected to take place in America.
"I hope to fight in the USA in August and, fingers crossed, I can then get back to Ireland for a fight before Christmas," stated the Limerick native.

 

I wouldn't mind going to watch him fight in Ireland hopefully in the O2 on the undercard of a Dunne defence again.

 

That would be nice:yep. I know hes been shite lately, but he has a presence about him.Like when he entered the ring at the o2, the crowd went mad.

 

lee needs to leave steward and get one to one coahing or either someone with not as many fighters as steward...john breen(imo the best boxing trainer in the world) comes to mind but i recall he did say lee had no heart before the mckay fight

 

steward only has a handful of fighters , i think only 3 , there are about 7/8 in john breens gym

lee should stay in america were he gets the best of sparring

 

I was there mate. The good thing about Lee after the fight he stopped for some kids that were there for pictures and signed a few autographs fare play to him for that.

Would love to get Dunne , Lee , McCluskey and Duddy on the same bill it would be amazing add Sutherland on top of it for a big Irish fight night I know it wont happen but if it did I would be there.

 

andy told me saturday night that hes moving to new york.manny will still be his trainer but he wont be with him day in day out as he has been since he went to america
