Martinez vs. Dzinziruk/ McEwan vs. Lee Fight Thread

[ElTerribleMorales]

I wonder what's next for both Lee and McEwan. I've only seen part of the fight, it got sloppy at the end and only then was Andy able to use his superior boxing skills to his advantage....Andy has a decent chin, he took some good shots McEwan too.

Any fancy Lee-Jacobs? Lee-JC Jr? Pirog?

Is that a joke? If his boxing skills were superior he could have used them to begin with. He has horrible defense, he just looked for the 1 big shot for the first 3/4 of the fight. Maybe that helped him because he obviously had more in the tank than McEwan who up until the last 2 rounds was cruising to an easy points win.

Lee did have overall better technique, the thing was he wasn't using any of it and just loading up on right hooks, he finally started closing the gap when he began to jab again and McEwan started tiring down, but i agree if it weren't for Craig McEwan tiring he would have won the fight, this was like a more action packed version of Taylor/Froch, only thing is that the more skilled fighter was the one to pull off the come from behind win

Andy Lee HAS boxing skills, but for some reason he chose not to use them until he was getting beaten up. Sure McEwan tired, but Lee didn't win just because McEwan got tired, Lee landed some very good punches when it counted and he set them up with the jab. Lee (like anyone) throws punches more fluidly when he doesn't load up on them.

OK if Jacobs and Pirog are too much for Andy right now how about the likes of: Sebastian Sylvester, Felix Sturm, Darren Barker, Matthew Macklin, Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam, Daniel Gaele, Gennady Golovkin? I still think he should have his eye on the winner of JC Jr-Zbik for the WBC title.
