Re: Quillen doesn't make weight, bout is a non title fight
Andy Lee has grown on me, I used to think he was too chinny, but he's fought back good in some recent fights.
Re: Quillen doesn't make weight, bout is a non title fight
Better positioning from Lee in that round, kept his lead foot on the outside and boxed well ;)

Holyshat. Who are you ???
He's clawed his way back here, starting to just very poised looking for counter

1.5 for Garcia
1.2 for Peterson
500k for Lee
500k for Quillen
And if Peterson loses he will lose his title.
Haymon is being backed by private equity/hedge fund-type people. He's got to pay the going rate to his fighters when GBP/Top Rank/HBO/Showtime will offer them that kind of dough to fight for them.
Yeah, I know how he is doing it. But I don't know how he is going to make it work. Just doesn't seem like enough commercials. I'm rooting for him though. Boxing on free TV is essential to the long term health of the sport.
They're expecting to lose money for a couple of years. They want to build a franchise like UFC or WWE and run multiple PPVs on the back of the free TV stuff.
Quillin down! Looks embarrased.
already seeing more real commercials so that's a good sign.
The problem with boxing and commercials is when somebody gets sparked in the first. :)

One of the only backdrops drawbacks of network tv is the 'no matter what happens' cut to commercial. You'd think by now they could stay with action between rounds with KD's and drama ;D

He is chinny. But he has heart and a big punch. And that makes him a great watch
Re: Quillen doesn't make weight, bout is a non title fight
Quillin looks out of ideas to me. Lee is winning all of these rounds now and if anything it is even with all the momentum with Lee.
Re: Quillen doesn't make weight, bout is a non title fight
I'd like to see Lee work the body :-\ the inactivity and weight cutting could have an effect ;)
Re: Quillen doesn't make weight, bout is a non title fight
Better work from Quillin there, but all in the first minute. Not sure about that round.
Re: Quillen doesn't make weight, bout is a non title fight
I don't think Lee has it tied on points like Farhood I think Quillen is up right now.

Kid Ovaltine is such a stiff
