[slapbangwhallop]

Lee was like Henry Armstrong last night. Now for a All-Ireland showdown of orgasmic proportions!

Happy for Lee.

Really hope the Duddy fight happens.

after beating Lowry the world is surely his oyster

Terry Wogan would have looked like Henry Armstrong against the hapless Lowry.

Andy Lee 4/9 for the stoppage, my stupid limit on boylesport prevented me from biting. I was going to do an epic bet

[Counter-puncher]

aye. 'Lee makes landscape of Lowry' probably wasn't the headline over the weekend, sadly.

[Captain Hook]

Henry Armstrong?! More like Henry Kelly...

[slapbangwhallop]

Lee-Duddy showdown getting close. I am hearing that Lee is in and they are waiting for Duddy to sign.

Amazing that beating Troy Lowry has made all of this possible

[forcefraser]

Could Troy Lowry have beaten Chuck Gardner in his prime?

[Counter-puncher]

they certainly don't normally give fights with the likes of Duddy away free with Cornflakes packets

THIS SURELY HAS TO BE A WIND UP?

[Autobarn]

lee v duddy seems a very cynical matchup with duddy coming off the chavez jr beating but iti'll probably create a big stir in ireland as both seem to have popularity.a fight that is a footnote in world boxing but which will be a good earner & establish the winner as an attraction.

fight will probably put lee in a good position to secure a name like macklin, especially if macklin manages to get a world title.

macklin topped the mag 7 bill. i wonder if he'll be on the FW dec show promising multiple world title fights?

[brian13]

That fight must take place in Ireland.

[dutchie]

Looking like MSG in dec,great fight for both,and it might quieten a few begrudgers here!!!!!!!

How would it quieten down a few 'begrudgers'? I don't think there's anyone who thinks a Lee-Duddy fight doesn't make sense. There's just a few people who don't really rate either of them.

of course its not begrudgery.

What exactly do you mean by "not rating either"? Thats a pretty relative term.

So which British middleweights do you rate? (baring in mind that Macklin is Irish! ;) )

I actually think it has the ingredients to be a FOTY candidate.

The partisan Irish contingent on boxrec get an early Christmas present when middleweights Andy Lee and John Duddy square up at historic Madison Square Garden on December 11.
Lee and Duddy, for New Yorkers, are favourite sons from back home and we can expect a real party in the Garden as thousands of Irishmen drink to a 'natural' all-Ireland showdown and to the good old days in Tipperary or Galway or Donegal or Kerry or Wicklow, having never set a single foot on the Emerald Isle. Jack Charlton once fully capatalised.
As for the players, Lee was mashed in seven face-first rounds by tough Texan Brian Vera two years ago in the States, and great fighters do not get mashed like that on the way up, but Manny Steward has brought Lee back to look like a monster against a succession of recent rollovers. Call it cynical matchmaking but the fans, and the TV boys, will cough up to see a monster when we can expect Lee to stick to his southpaw boxing skills against Duddy after trying, suicidally, to flatten Vera.
Duddy was outboxed and outpointed by Julio Cesar Chavez Junior in a 12-rounder last time out in the States, although he was never off his feet and his fragile eyebrows also held up. The Derry man likes a row and is probably stronger than Lee and certainly takes a better shot, but to beat Lee, he has to be able to hurt him, and Duddy has never been a huge puncher, thriving on pressure, workrate, stamina and heart, along with great support and matchmaking. The Chavez match was a coming together of two of the most protected fighters in the game, and this is another terrific match for the 31-year-old Duddy. Lee, from Limerick, guarantees a great payday without too much pain. Neither fighter is the second coming of Kevin Finnegan.
Duddy will pile into the the younger Lee, roared on by bigger support, but will find himself getting banged up and countered as the rounds tick by, and ultimately outpointed.

i think it could be a very good fight as it happens.

One for the armchairs, not the purists......a good scrap probably, though I can't imagine it being too technical

Yes, Andy Lee has very little technical ability.

But you should forgive him, I dont think he had much amateur experience.
