Julio Jr. vs. Andy Lee Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

I expect to see another shit decision, Lee would have to either knock Julio Jr down 6 times or knock him out to win this fight in El Paso, Texas. I'm not sure but HBO may show the Pac-Bradley replay before the main event. Vanes Martirosyan vs. Ryan Davis might be a good one if they show it as well.

June 16
At El Paso, Texas (HBO): Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Andy Lee, 12 rounds, for Chavez's WBC middleweight title; Vanes Martirosyan vs. Ryan Davis, 10 rounds, junior middleweights; Robert Marroquin vs. Arturo Santiago, 8 rounds, featherweights; Casey Ramos vs. Noe Lopez, 8 rounds, junior lightweights.

War Andy!

Given the events last night, not even Lee KO'ing Junior will guarantee Lee gets the win. Don't underestimate the ineptitude/corruptability of boxing judges. And this is in Junior's backyard... under Papa's watchful eye. Not to mention the scumbag WBC president.

I'm not expecting Lee to win any decision, especially in Texas. Throw the outcome out the window and this should be a really good fight. I'm going into it expecting Jr to get the decision no matter what, but should be a good fight. Just turn it off after the final bell in the 12 round.

I'm looking forward to this fight. My gut tells me it may be Chavez Jr.'s best performance yet.

I like Lee, he is a good fighter, but as Mars has stated i dont hold out much
hope of Lee winning against the WBC golden bollocks. I can see another
shit decision again.. Boxing now is becoming a joke with all the
terrible decisions recently.

I actually don't mind Chavez, and feel he's getting better all the time. But, despite him beating Manfredo and Rubio comfortably, I take a fair bit from the Zbik fight. The amount of shots he shipped against Zbik, well. He better have a good chin, as an Andy Lee on form can really punch I reckon.

I've heard things regarding Lee in the Craig McEwan fight too so if they are to be believed, then he did very well to stick in there and stop McEwan. We'll see. I think It'll be a good fight, and i'm probably gonna just ignore any scoring and just roll with my own, disregarding what may or may not happen when the judges scores are read out.

The clock is ticking. Same day weigh ins after June 30th.

Define "good fight" MMA.
You mean like Andy Lee fighting his heart out but getting fucked on the judges scorecards?

I just hate watching a fight knowing that a guy like Lee hasn't got a snowball's chance in hell of winning a decision in Texas. I'll probably watch the fight anyway with the sound muted just in the hope that Andy lands a hay-maker and knocks Julio Jr. out cold.

This could be another horrible decision (it IS in Texas). Go Andy Lee! Knock his ass out!

[TitoFan]

I can picture Chavez Jr being informed of his split decision win after regaining consciousness in the dressing room.

What? Just in Texas, or everywhere? I'd heard nothing about this.

I said good "fight" I never said anything about good "decision". Like I said just turn it off after the final bell because you already know Jr is getting the decision.

[Kirkland Laing]

Two predictions for this fight. Chavez wins and when HBO weigh the fighters before the bout he weighs 216 pounds.

[roberto duran legend]

Lee can only win with a clear knockout, simple as that.
And i hope he does.
