My thoughts on Willie Gibbs have been the same for awhile, there is something fundamentally wrong with how he takes a punch, his legs just go haywire. I have heard stories that he got in a bunch of gym wars in Philly and that even though he's young he's taken a lot of punishment. This doesn't surprise me cause even though he's young his legs looks shot to me. Look at the way he took punches versus Edouard, Miranda, there's just something wrong with him.
Lee early KO/TKO.
Basically there's a reason why Lee's people want Gibbs for a comeback fight.
Same reason Miranda's people wanted Gibbs for his HBO debut.
Lee has kind of the same issue, his legs go rubbery when he takes shots. I don't think Gibbs will win though because he hits weaker than Vera for sure.
Ive seen Gibbs talking aloooot on this one as Lee's big Mistake for a comeback fight,Underestimating him etc.I think in an odd way Lee's Asterisk Loss to Vera can be a hidden positive.I agree with Oumafan about Gibbs reactions to some punches,just seems to get rigid.One thing though,If a wide eratic Vera can hook on Lee....Gibb's can find him much more.This is in Lee's hometown (?),He's undoubtedly made some adjustments and I think he will bounce back to TKO Gibbs,should be good.
Good opponent for Lee to return against. Gibbs will make Lee work but should not be in any danger at all. Gibbs will make Lee look good I would guess.
I am not sold on Lee one bit. He is a poor mans John Duddy and that is not saying much. Duddy at least can brawl with some of the lesser fighters or past best and make it exciting.
Lee can hit hard and that is about the extent of it.
Gibbs should get starched early
I'll be there covering it all for you:reporter:
Put em up;
As regards the "poor mans John Duddy" comment, I'm not being smart, but Lee is twice the fighter Duddy is.
Duddy was not an exceptional am. Lee made the Olympics and was beaten by questionable decision in his second bout.
Lee has a wealth of expiereince and skill. Lee will be very good.
I know what your saying HMD and respect that. I also know Lee's amateur background.Quote:

Whe I called him a poor man's John Duddy I meant as far as staying power and durability. He is not a guy that we will see get the edge in too many toe to toe situations with an opponent that has a solid chin.
In short I guess the best way to describe what I am saying is Lee is not that durable.
Nice... :cool:Quote:

Nice job covering the fight....Quote:

Looks like loss number 2 for Lee
fair play to Andy for getting straight back in with a puncher. Alot of fighters who have been stopped for the first time wouldn't be so brave. Be intresting to see how he gets on, still think he's a better prospect than Duddy, hopefully we've still to see alot more from him
In Limerick?Quote:

Personally, I think Gibbs is a bit risky for Lee to use as a comeback fight.
Still, like everyone said, Willie Gibbs nickname should be Johnny 5.
I don't see it as that risky honestly. There is a reason Lee's managers wanted Gibbs for a comeback, that being the first time he drops a clean left on him Gibbs' legs will go totally haywire.
Anyone have a link for this one??Donny doing a RBR.....? No live action tonight unless I'm desperate and tune into the UFC fightnight?:-X

Stream is on the UK board....
Wait...you got it Mick:)
Can't go to the fight because I'm freakin stiff as a board >:(
Currently looking for the Povetkin link the guy that was suppose to stream it bailed out at the last minute... :furious2: :jabbing:
The link was working fine earlier now I'm getting a "false" message in the screen... :furious2:
Anyone else having this problem?
Nevermind got it working now...Quote:

I know a few people are high on McClauskey but he just doesn't do it for me... I mean I know Wrights a decent fighter but when you add up things with Paul like age, style and level hes fighting I just can't see him becoming a champ.
Pauls def. letting Wright fight his fight Pauls on the wrong end of things here...
wright got stiched up there....good scrap...and I agree McCloskey reached his level tonite
Did you see Pauls eye?Quote:

yer the eye was a factor but McCloskey fought a differently to what he usually does.....I think he made a mistake on trying to get Wright outta their........close fight not 4 rnds
looking forward to the main fight...should be interesting while it lasts
Hopefully Gibbs doesn't get hurt, he's a guy that should be watched closely.

Silverback sometimes they go into commercials and the screen stays black so don't let that fool you.Quote:

Ok when you 1st click on the link it will take you to a screen where it says now showing... There are 2 buttons there. 1 For the Real Player and the other for the Window Media Player click on the Windows Media player button and it should work if that doesn't work refresh the page then click on the Real Player button then QUICKLY click on the Windows Media player button it should work.
By the way McCloskey won via UD and Povetkin just won via 4th rd. TKO.
Well here we go.
last minute pick for me Gibbs late TKO :o
anyone got any polish...lol
anthem
Yeah Lee should do the job pretty quick but he does love right hands maybe Gibbs can give a few but a Gibbs win here would be more surprising then the Vera win over Lee imo.
finally got it playing. It did it like firefox at all for me. Had to use IE
Lee finally settling down a bit and sitting down on his punches. Gibbs a bit tight from the outside, Lee not landing much.
Lee power overrated. Gibbs is known for having no chin. And Lee is hitting him with everything and doing little to him
