What a great brawl, both traded plenty of big bombs. Lee's face was a mess - hasn't the guy learnt to combination punch.

Lee was taking too many shots in that last round and while he did throw a shot back when the ref stepped in - he was on the way out.

[Spicoli]

Vera was absorbing Lees shots with little effect after the 2nd round.Lee was getting affected much more from Veras shots over time.Lee has alooott of work to do

[No Contest]

Lee failed the chin test, lol I wonder if those people still wanna see him fight Duddy, think he can beat Duddy still? That was a shitty stoppage, even though Lee might have still lost he never went down, that stagger was more of tripped up feet.

i remember Winky Wright.. and ALL i could think of during the fight was that "winky would EAT ThiS GUY ALIVE!"

Andy Lee is a real accurate puncher, but he didn't use his size enough and stay on the outside like he should have.. I was VERY surprised that Vera absorbed all those shots especially after getting dropped in the first round.. You almost couldn't NOT want Vera to win after he had those short bursts.. it was like buster douglas vs tyson when tyson just WOULDNT go down but douglas was throwing everything he had, and then finally it came and it was great.

Credit to Emmanuel Steward he said the stoppage was the right decision by the referee.

LMAO!!!

Yes. Can you imagine what Pavlik would have done to him. Lee needs more experience before stepping into the ring with Pavlik.

Words of Wisdom from Emmanuel Steward

Steward: "Andy Lee Beats Kelly Pavlik Now"
By Mark Vester

Ahead of his fighter's bout on Saturday night in Limerick, trainer and manager Emanuel Steward says that middleweight prospect Andy Lee (14-0, 11KOs) can beat WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (32-0, 29KOs) right now.

Steward wants Lee to fight 1-2 times per month until he puts himself in position for a showdown with Pavlik at the end of the year. He also told the Belfast Telegraph that Lee is the best prospect in the world.

"Andy Lee is the best prospect in the world," says Steward. "Right now he's the best middleweight in the world. He can beat Kelly Pavlik right now."

Steward has made some very bold comments about Lee in the last few months. He views Lee as one of the best fighters that he's ever trained. Coming from the man who groomed the careers of former champs Thomas Hearns and Lennox Lewis, that statement alone shows the high hopes that Steward has for Lee. Unless he seriously steps up the competition, I'm not exactly sure if Lee will be able to seriously challenge Pavlik now, or by the end of 2008.

I would have to agree. I was not impressed at all by Lee. I don't think Lee would last 4 rounds with Pavlik.

But i do think that was an early stoppage.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Initially I must admit I haven't see the entire fight.

However, this loss for Lee is far from the end of the line.
Lee was not "exposed" as such nor was he actually knocked out.
What weaknesses he did display were all as a result of his youth and inexpierience.

I've always been fond of Lee and some may think I'm making excuses for him, but I do feel this is merelyy the start of a long succesful journey for Lee.

Vera didn't feel Lee's power and Lee never adjusted into boxer mode. A rookie mistake.
Similarly to Katsidis against Casamayor, Lee was found lacking in terms of ring knowledge.

This problem will be rectified with expierienced.

Lee was schedule to fight again next month, but following this stoppage I FEEL HE SHOULD POSTPONE, HIT THE GYM AND COME BACK STRONGER.

Horrible. You should only stop a fight when the man can not defend him self. Lee fired back and Vera was punching him self out. It was less than a minute from the bell. Almost every round Lee hurt Vera. Lee didn't follow his left with a hook to the body or else wise. This makes me appreciate Steve Smoger more. Horrible stoppage. If I was Lees people I would try for a rematch. Fucking terrible.
