Guys we cant get this fight over here so i was hoping one of you would have pity on us Micks and give us a round by round. Lee needs to win and win well with all the talk Steward is doing about him. Thats something to note as well,whoever is talking about how great Andy is, the man himself never comments he was the same back here,always polite and never talking trash about anyone.A nice talented guy and good luck to him.
vera has only one loss. to former contender finalist jaidon codrington in which he was knocked out in the second i hav enever seen lee fight so im not sure. vera himself isnt too bad but there is a lot of hype surrounding lee. lee should be able to win this
Great step up for Lee, he'll take it convincingly. I know Emanuel is just trying to hype him but he is indeed world class, he's not ready for any of the champs yet but I see him being a top contender by the end of the year.
Guys round by round anyone.Think of us back here in the ould sod hugging our livestock for heat (and company) waiting on the result.Come on help a nation.
You'll be able to watch it on espn.com in about 18 hours. I couldn't believe the +125 odds on the under 5.5 rounds when they came up. Brian Vera has a glass chin and he doesn't know any way of fighting other than brawling. Andy Lee will knock him out early, I would be very surprised if this lasted more than 3 rounds. Lee's team wants to make him look good in his ESPN debut against a known fighter and Vera is a perfect choice.
Lee Ive seen him on youtube once, cant say anything but the buzz around here is begining. Seems funny how Kelly Pavlik gets luke warm attention, yet he has actually beaten real comp.....I wonder what the criteria is for favorite son status around here. I just wonder.
Pavlik, has proved himself. No one is denying Pavlik is a worthy champion.But a division stagnates if there is no worthy challengers, the buzz your getting is the expectation that soon, there will be an able challenger for great champion.
Well said Ardy if only we had a bit more buzz about all divisions boxing would be in a lot better shape.
Maybe we need Irish challengers at every weight, and the way Irish professional is improving, it won't be long.:good
If someone really wants I will do round by round. Just ask in a new new message thread an hour before the fight.
