I'll be there covering it all for you

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.

Maybe I should have explained a bit better my post my fault.

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.

As regards physicality, Lee cannot be classed anywhere near the likes of Duddy or Andrade. Although his chin is far from suspect (he never went down v Vera!!!) his frame is so long and slim he's simply not built to endure punishment.

Thats whty I feel now is the time to refine his defence and outside boxing.

Nice...

Nice job covering the fight....
Not so nice the job I gotta do first

[Violent Demise]

Looks like loss number 2 for Lee

[Phil]

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?

There are fighters that would rather get Ko'ed than win in Limerick, particularily against Stab City's favourite son

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.
