Lee vs. Vera

[#1FightFan]

the show made it sooo seem like vera was nothing, and lee was the destroyer, even going so far as saying steward said he could be one of the greatest of all times.

with all that said, i didnt count on a great fight, but a short one.

BUT...

I ended up seeing one hell of a fight, seeing the underdog come back and putting a beating on the irishman.
congrats to vera, way to go~!!!!
now THATS how to respond to an opportunity given!!!
i get sick of seeing lackluster boxers dance to victory, while making millions. this young man showed great heart.
and he shut those up bigtime who gave him no chance.

the fight was stopped a bit short, but it wouldnt have changed the outcome: he was beaten, bloodied, off balance, his eyes were crossed, he was cut, and in another 10 or 15 seconds it woulda been all she wrote.

And I guess the Irish boxing bubble has burst big time here....after Duddy's disappointing showing last time out against a low-ranked fighter losing him a shot at Pavlik, and Dunne losing his European belt at the end of last year....Andy Lee was the big hope due to set the middleweights alight. Look at the predicitions on the first page....Shocker indeed.

And we find out from Sal you can't do all caps in a post. Valuable knowledge at the double on this thread!
