Chavez Jr - Andy Lee / June 16th in Texas

[J_C]

I like this match up. How do we see it going?

I have a feeling Chavez will pressurize Lee into succumbing to a 2nd half stoppage.

If it goes the distance, has Lee got any chance of getting a decision against Chavez Jr in Texas? Its hard to believe.

Lee going to lose whatever he does...Texas rules mean one thing...CHEATER STATE rules


Job biscuit (bad state of affairs)!!!

eh eh!!!

Gee... I'm at a loss here. Can't very well compare Chavez Jr. to a shark. That would be insulting to "shark-kind".

Ok. Another goldfish being fed to the big grouper.

C'mon........ Lee? No offense to Lee fans, but... what credentials does Lee have that would make him a dangerous opponent to Baby Chavez? He's slow... he's clumsy... and not that hard to hit. What does he bring to the table for Chavez? He doesn't strike me as a particularly hard puncher. So he's slow, and not a big puncher. Seems tailor-made for Chavez Jr. Daddy must be pleased.

I think Andy Lee could pull this out. Andy has good handspeed, solid power, and he's a southpaw. Andy is also a bigger middleweight at 6'2 he has 2 inches on JCJr. If nothing else Lee should help prepare JCJr for a fight vs Sergio Martinez. You better believe Andy will get solid sparring in though, he'll be training with Jonathan Banks & the rest of the Manny Steward crew. I would LOVE for Andy to pull off the upset, but to do so he needs to start quick, land some combos, but realize that he'll have to be accurate, not waste energy, and wear JCJr down. I think everybody is correct in their assumptions that Andy won't get a decision, in fact he'll have to try his damnedest not to get hurt or wobbled at all because the fight will get stopped early if he does. It's a good thing he has Manny in his corner though.

I do wish this fight would not take place in Texas. That aside, I think Lee is a more refined boxer and if he can keep giving Jr angles he'll have relatively easy time.

Not nearly as much as I would, Lyle.

However, I wish I was as positive about that as you. You find Lee quick with his hands? I just haven't seen that in the few fights I've seen. A big puncher? Ditto on that one. Ok, so he IS a southpaw. That should give him some advantages. And if he's got Manny in his corner, that's another plus. Oh how I would LOVE to see Junior dumped on his coddled ass. He's (Lee) got his work cut out for him, though. And Manny should remove "get a decision win" from Lee's gameplan. He's not going to get it, unless he knocks down Baby Chavez in every round.

I'd also love to see the upset here but Chavez Jr has progressed to a level above that of Lee's imo

I don't think JCJr will have it all his way but I see him stopping Lee in the later rounds

Then this fight would be fair since both guys are no good, don't you think?

I like Lee he has some good boxing skills . Best fighter JCC Jnr has fought by a long margin,
Hope Lee can kick his pampered ass.

I'm not saying Chavez is no good... I'm just saying he's not as good as his bloated record would indicate. Give me a 25-1 or 30-2 fighter who's faced the best competition out there... instead of a coddled 45-0-1 fighter, who's being spoon-fed carefully picked opponents..... any day of the week.

He's technically an amateur (since he has no amateur experience what so ever) facing guys who have 2 or 3 times his experience. I wonder if people would think different about him if he didn't have Chavez as his last name.
