Andy Lee won the fight he was robbed! Ha ha ha!

[powerpuncher]

It was a close fight. A draw was definitely reasonable. Lee has for sure gotten better. I remember a few years back I thought he was a completely average fighter. He is now a pretty solid fighter. This is the best that I've ever seen him fight. I'm surprised that he could do so well. I thought that quillin was going to easily win. Lee definitely surprised me.

Lee didn't impress me as much as Quillen depressed me. Quillen is average now. I really felt he had "it"... now he is just another name, no title, a questionable draw on his record, and now he has lost all monetary value to him that he had built up prior to dodging Korobov.

That fight with Korobov started all of this. Lee has some grit... while Lee did not deserve to win out right, Quillen didn't deserve to win either. Especially when he came in overweight and dumped thee very same belt he was fighting for again with Lee, who won the title off of the guy Quillen was supposed to fight.

Get my drift??

Quillen's stock has gone down. Way down. He has to rematch Lee and knock him out. No question!

I have not seen the fight and thought Quillin would win easy but reading the reports Quillin got knocked down in the 7th and Lee in 1st and 3rd. So it seemed a good fight.

It was a very good fight! Plenty of action and close rounds. I thought Lee was going to get steamrolled after the first round, but Andy (a genuine tough guy) fought himself back into the fight.
After Quillin went down in the 7th you could see a change in Lee and a shift in momentum. I'm not saying Quillin stopped fighting, slowed down, or anything like that. It just looked like Lee really started having fun after Quillin went down.
Good fight and a pleasure to watch. IMO

Hopefully I will see it but I really thought Andy Lee was a one hit wonder and was lucky to win the title and would lose it very soon. He has proved me wrong and staying with Quillin means he is a world class fighter.

Master- this is (exactly) what happened:

Quillen had him- & had NO killer instinct- Interesting enough I was at my mom's home (yes) she watched it with me & said this: Why is that quillen kid letting him off the hook (because she heard Ray Leonard's voice commentating she replied) Sugar would've went for the kill..

Coming from a woman in her late 60's, Master...

Quillen's stock has gone down. Way down. He has to rematch Lee and knock him out. No question! <<<-Ykdadamaja

I never felt he had it- Never spoke of him here or anywhere- But if he was matched right- I felt he could win a few bouts.

draw was perfect. How much more did quillin weigh as compared to lee?

Nah..

Quillan won and you know it.

[Nameless]

Neither would last 5 rounds with GGG.

Haven't seen the Quillin-Lee fight BUT... I just can't go against the GGG argument.

[mikeeod]

Was a good fight and the draw was a fair decision. Neither would stand a chance against Golovkin at this point and most likely never will. I will always wonder why Lee didn't use his right jab more frequently. He started using it sparingly late in te fight and landed it almost at will. I think if he uses it more and earlier in the fight it breaks Quillin down and stops him late.

[Ron Swanson]

So everyone is in agreement MW is weak and nobody can challenge GGG. Yet many still want GGG to waste more years proving what we all already know and have known for 2 years. Mind numbing

[SlimTrae]

Quillen had his chance to prove he was up there with him. Not a style of fights. Anyone who draws with Lee isn't top level. No offense to Lee, a good fighter, nowhere near great.

It's not just now. Middleweight has been thin on talent for a long long time. There was Roy and Bhop, then only Bhop for a long long time. Then JT came along as a brief but incandescent addition. Now there is GGG and journeymen. And Cotto who has absolutely no business at 160. So basically there is GGG and that's it. Andrade is probably the 2nd best middleweight and he isn't there and doesn't belong there. He's at 54 begging for anyone to fight him.

[beenKOed]

The draw was about right. Take away the bogus knockdown though and I thought Lee won

It was a good fight for one with such a poor punch output.

You are right about the low output. One of the broadcast crew (can't remember who) said it was developing into a sharpshooting contest, and I remember thinking that's an accurate description.
I really got sucked into the fight after Lee got up in the first. He was hurt bad and I started hoping he would last and maybe come back to win.
Lee put on a great performance, hell they both did, Quillin got up too, anyway it takes two to make a good fight when it goes the distance.

I don't think Boo boo has the chin for middleweight and as far as I know he has yet to step up. Be interesting to see him step up though, a year off is doing him no good.

lee lost. he did good, but didnt throw enough/wasnt aggressive enough to get the victory. he should be happy he got the draw. he had quillins legs buckled twice and let him off the hook by not following up!!
a dumbass!!
