By the way, the Lee v. McEwan fight was solidly entertaining. Hats off to both of them. McEwan can stand tall after that loss. He lost because of conditioning at the end of the day.

I wonder what's next for both Lee and McEwan. I've only seen part of the fight, it got sloppy at the end and only then was Andy able to use his superior boxing skills to his advantage....Andy has a decent chin, he took some good shots McEwan too.
Any fancy Lee-Jacobs? Lee-JC Jr? Pirog?
Pirog or Jacobs spark Lee. I was more impressed with McEwan because I thought he would get taken to school and he actually won more of the rounds.Quote:

Is that a joke? If his boxing skills were superior he could have used them to begin with. He has horrible defense, he just looked for the 1 big shot for the first 3/4 of the fight. Maybe that helped him because he obviously had more in the tank than McEwan who up until the last 2 rounds was cruising to an easy points win.Quote:

Lee (like anyone) throws punches more fluidly when he doesn't load up on them.
OK if Jacobs and Pirog are too much for Andy right now how about the likes of: Sebastian Sylvester, Felix Sturm, Darren Barker, Matthew Macklin, Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam, Daniel Gaele, Gennady Golovkin? I still think he should have his eye on the winner of JC Jr-Zbik for the WBC title.
