Press Release | Quadrupleheader Announced

One of boxing’s fastest-rising prospects Brandun Lee will return to the “Fight Sphere” at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn., for the third time when he takes on Samuel Teah Wednesday, March 10 live on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET/PT in the super lightweight main event of a ShoBox: The New Generation telecast.

Lee vs. Teah headlines a four-fight card featuring eight promising prospects with a combined record of 102-4-2.

The 21-year-old knockout artist Lee (21-0, 19 KOs) of La Quinta, Calif., will look to extend his impressive KO streak to 13 when he faces ShoBox veteran Samuel Teah (17-3-1, 7 KOs) in a 10-round super lightweight bout. The co-main event will see undefeated super featherweight prospect Misael Lopez (11-0, 5 KOs) battle once-beaten Jordan White (10-1, 8 KOs) in an eight-round bout and two tough undefeated prospects will clash in the second fight of the night as Philadelphia’s Steven Ortiz (11-0, 3 KOs) faces Jeremy Hill (14-0, 9 KOs) in an eight-round lightweight bout. In the telecast opener, 22-year-old power-punching prospect Victor Padilla (8-0, 7 KOs) makes his ShoBox debut against another unbeaten Philadelphia native, Thomas Velasquez (10-0-1, 6 KOs), in an eight-round super featherweight contest.

The four-fight telecast is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and D&D Boxing.

“Our March 10 ShoBox event, from top to bottom, perfectly represents the philosophy that the series has set forth to accomplish during our 20 years in boxing,” said Gordon Hall, executive producer for ShoBox: The New Generation. “The full spectrum of prospects will be on display in this event from coming-of-age newcomers to a fighter at the doorstep of a world championship fight. In the opening bout we have a three-time amateur National Champion in Victor Padilla, who is in the infancy of his promising professional career at 8-0, making his ShoBox debut, while atop the bill is Brandun Lee, one of the most promising prospects in boxing, taking on his toughest challenge against a ShoBox veteran Samuel Teah. ShoBox is the ultimate proving ground for prospects and we will learn a lot about all of these fighters March 10 on SHOWTIME.”

“All eight fighters competing on March 10 at Mohegan Sun will be tested, and that is exactly what the ShoBox series is all about. I’m proud to promote such an evenly matched event from top to bottom,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. "Puerto Rican lightweight Victor Padilla is a knockout artist with blazing fast hands and he’ll be facing unbeaten Philadelphian Thomas Velasquez. Junior lightweight Misael Lopez returns to ShoBox following his series debut, an upset over touted favorite James Wilkins, now taking on heavy-hitter Jordan White. Philadelphia lightweight Steven Ortiz also returns to the series, after debuting with a win against unbeaten Wesley Ferrer, competing against undefeated New Orleans prospect Jeremy Hill. In the main event, towering power-puncher Brandun Lee squares off against crafty veteran Samuel Teah, in his biggest test to date."

Lee vs. Teah – 10-Round Super Lightweight Main Event Bout

The highly regarded Lee made quick work of the previous two opponents he faced at Mohegan Sun Arena in 2020, scoring a highlight-reel first-round KO of Jimmy Williams on ShoBox in October and a third-round stoppage of Dakota Linger in December. Lee has knocked out all but two of his professional opponents and owns 12 first-round knockouts. Trained by his father Bobby, Lee fought four times in 2020, including a third-round TKO over Camilo Prieto in one of the final live sporting events to take place before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the sports world for several months in March.

Lee had a decorated amateur career with an estimated record of 196-5. He was the 2015 U.S. Junior National Champion, taking home the gold medal at 145 pounds. With lightning quick hands that pack power, the exciting Lee has sparred with the likes of Mikey Garcia, Devin Haney, Mauricio Herrera, Timothy Bradley Jr., and Thomas Dulorme.

“I’ve just been training in La Quinta, staying safe and healthy and focusing on what I need to do in order to have another impressive performance,” said Lee. “I see that Teah is a good inside puncher and he has good speed. He’s a volume puncher but other than that, I don’t see much that I shouldn’t be able to handle. I’m super excited to be returning to ShoBox in the main event so that my fans can see me live on TV, because the fans want to see knockouts so that’s what I’m going to give them."

Teah, born in Liberia and fighting out of Philadelphia, has had mixed luck on ShoBox. A three-fight veteran of the developmental series, Teah scored a unanimous decision over then-undefeated O’Shaquie Foster in 2015 but dropped a majority decision to Montana Love in 2018. Most recently on ShoBox, Teah scored a unanimous decision over Kenneth Sims Jr. in November 2018. The 33-year-old Teah, who did not start boxing until the age of 19, also owns an impressive win over Sonny Fredrickson and beat Dieumerci Nzau his last time out in March 2020.

“I don’t mind being the underdog and it won’t be the first time for me,” Teah said. “I have ShoBox wins against O’Shaquie Foster and Kenneth Sims, Jr., and I always seem to perform better when the lights and cameras are focused on me. I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

Lopez vs. White – Eight-Round Super Featherweight Bout

Born in Sonora, Mexico, and raised in Denver, Colo., Lopez had a successful amateur career before turning professional in 2016. He compiled an amateur record of 50-5, winning gold at the 2010 Colorado State Silver Gloves Tournament and the Colorado State Golden Gloves Tournament in 2009 and 2015. Lopez’s career-best pro win came on ShoBox in September 2018 when he outboxed the power-punching James Wilkins in a step-up fight. Trained by his father Evenezer, Lopez has added two wins since then, including a first-round TKO over Richard Flores.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to be back on ShoBox and, this time, with such a strong team behind me,” said the 24-year-old Lopez. “I respect my promoter, Lou DiBella, a lot and have no doubt that he can put me in the position to become a champion. I’m ready for the challenge and can’t wait for March 10."

The Washington, D.C. native White was a former No. 1-ranked amateur, amassing a 145-16 record. He was teammates with future world champions Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson on the Junior National travel squad, competing in the Junior World Championships in Kiev, Ukraine in 2013. White turned professional at 18, winning his first four bouts, three by way of knockout, before losing a decision to fellow undefeated foe Adam Lopez. White has since bounced back by winning six fights in a row, including a seventh-round TKO over previously unbeaten prospect Ronaldo Solis. White, 23, is the cousin of 2000 U.S. Olympian Clarence Vinson.

"I am honored for this opportunity to fight on SHOWTIME against the undefeated Misael Lopez,” said White. “I respect his fight game, but I am looking forward to displaying my superior skill set. On March 10, there will be lights, cameras, and plenty of action."

Ortiz vs. Hill – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

The 27-year-old Ortiz has developed a cult following in his hometown region, fighting seven times in the greater Philadelphia area. Ortiz rallied off five straight wins in the “City of Brotherly Love” before making his ShoBox debut in September 2018, a majority decision victory over then-unbeaten Wesley Ferrer in Shawnee, Okla. Ortiz picked up two wins in 2019, including a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Philadelphian Jeremy Cuevas, but did not fight in 2020. An accomplished amateur, Ortiz is a five-time Pennsylvania Golden Gloves Champion, a bronze medalist at the National Golden Gloves and a gold medalist at the National Silver Gloves.

"The pandemic was a major setback for me and the careers of many other fighters, of course, but it kept me focused,” said Ortiz. “I stayed in the gym getting ready for when the opportunity came, and here it is. Hill is a tall, awkward fighter, but I am up for the challenge. It doesn’t matter who is in front of me, I am here to fight. This will be my second fight on SHOWTIME and I feel that, this time, I’ll be coming back stronger, both mentally and physically. The audience will see the best of me.”

New Orleans’ Jeremy Hill blends his unique size, accuracy and power in both hands inside the ring with showmanship and charisma outside of it. A successful amateur who rose all the way to the No. 4 ranked U.S. lightweight amateur, Hill won the Male Elite Champion at the Ringside World Championships in 2017 and turned professional in April 2018 after posting a 55-10 record in the unpaid ranks. Hill, 28, is coming off a TKO over Travis Castellon in November but will be facing his first undefeated opponent in Ortiz since beating the 1-0 Lashawn Alcocks in his fourth pro fight. He also owns a unanimous decision over then-once-beaten Xavier Wilson in July, one of Hill’s four wins in 2020.

"I’m excited and thankful for the opportunity,” said Hill. “I’ve been working hard and grinding for a chance like this. I feel like I’m overdue for this type of fight and this kind of exposure, so I’m just ready to show everyone what I can do. I’m about to cut up on national TV."

Padilla vs. Velasquez – Eight-Round Super Featherweight Bout

Padilla, 22, was born in Vieques, Puerto Rico, and currently lives and fights out of Berlin, N.J. The all-action, power-punching southpaw has stopped all but one of his professional challengers, including six opponents who failed to make it out of the first round. His last time out in January 2020, Padilla needed just 2:46 to stop Israel Suarez-Olmeda. Padilla turned professional in December 2016 after a stellar amateur career that included three National Championships and a record of 90-7. He trains alongside former world champions Tevin Farmer and Jason Sosa under trainer Raul “Chino” Rivas.

"First and foremost, I want to thank God, my family and my team for keeping me positive through these hard times,” said Padilla. “I am very excited for this opportunity to showcase my skills in front of a national audience. I have sacrificed a lot to get to this point in my career. It takes a lot of dedication to the sport and I am confident that it will pay off. It has been 13 long years of working hard to show the world who Victor Padilla is and, on March 10, a new chapter will begin. Thomas Velasquez is a good fighter and this is a good matchup, but may the best man win."

Velasquez, another Philadelphia native, made his professional debut in 2015 and looked to be rapidly rising through the ranks, winning his first nine fights including five by way of knockout. A draw with Tyrome Jones in September 2017 stalled his career to a near standstill, as he did not fight again until 2020 when he scored a third-round KO over veteran Gustavo Molina in his return bout. The 25-year-old will look to regain the momentum he had earlier in his career with a win over the highly regarded Padilla. As an amateur, Velasquez had a 30-3 record and won the Pennsylvania State Golden Gloves. He is trained by Hamza Muhammad, who also trains the newly crowned WBO Junior Featherweight World Champion Stephen Fulton Jr.

“I could not be happier to have this opportunity to show the world what I can do,” said Velasquez. “It doesn’t matter who is standing in the opposite corner, I fight to provide a better life for my twin daughters. I look forward to putting on a spectacular performance on March 10 and leaving that ring with my unbeaten record intact."

Brandun Lee: Inside the mind of a boxing prodigy on the rise to champion

Boxer Brandun Lee started boxing at a young age, and his talent in the ring and with his fists made him a winner early on, and he’s only getting better.

You might not know it, but undefeated professional boxer Brandun Lee has one thing in common with Stevie Wonder, Pablo Picasso, and Bobby Fischer.

Like them, Lee was a child prodigy, but instead of playing piano, using a paintbrush, or mastering a chessboard, Lee excelled as a pugilist.

Growing up in the southern California town of La Quinta, Lee was immersed in boxing early by his father, Bobby, who still trains him today. Boxing wasn’t forced on Lee, but he took a natural liking to it. It wasn’t the aggression of it that appealed to Lee, but the process of mastering an art.

“So at the time, I was just a little kid eager to learn everything,” Lee told FanSided. “I was like, like a sponge ready to soak in all the information. And, you know, my dad was a real strict trainer. So whatever he said, I did.”

Bobby had a young, dedicated, and exceptionally bright pupil in his son. He built Lee up as a boxer piece by piece. Lee had his first amateur bout as an 8-year-old. He has shared a specific anecdote of his boxing start with numerous sources, but it’s fascinating to hear it every time.

When Lee started to competitively box, his father would only allow him to use his left lead hand. His right was off-limits. He shared his father’s training rationale with Boxing Social.

“Once I got the left hand down, then we got the right hand down,” Lee told Boxing Social. “It’s like putting a puzzle together, one piece at a time. Once that one piece is solid, then we move onto the next piece.”

It’s an unorthodox practice to carry into competition, but it worked. Lee won his first national title at 9 years old. Lee never questioned his father’s training methodology, but he hypothesizes that it did leave an odd lasting impact.

“Because, you know, for some odd reason, my left bicep is like three times the size of my right bicep,” laughed Lee while talking to FanSided. “I think just from the beginning, working my left arm nonstop this permanently made my muscle triple the size.”

Eventually, Lee’s right arm caught up with his left, at least in terms of proficiency. Lee won more national titles as a youth and the 2015 U.S. Jr. National Championship in his teens, amongst various other titles.

Lee finished off his amateur career with an impressive record of 181-9. Since his first triumph as a 9-year-old, winning in the ring became an addiction for Lee. He loved the feeling of being a winner. The crowds cheering his name and praising his performance added to his victorious euphoria.

“Unfortunately, due to COVID, the crowds aren’t at fights,” described Lee. “When hearing people cheer your name, hearing people scream the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs,’ that’s really something. It’s an experience that doesn’t describe words.”

Today, Lee is 21-0, with 19 knockouts as a professional in the junior welterweight division. With his 90 percent KO rating, it would be easy to attribute his success to a single element such as power, but that oversimplifies Lee’s talents.

Brandun Lee might be the biggest future threat to the current top-tier boxers in the junior welterweight division.

What made Lee a prodigy at 9 has evolved to make him a threatening prospect at 21 years old. His intelligence in and out of the ring sets him apart from other boxers. Even as a child, boxing with one hand, Lee learned the art of strategy and how to make calculated improvisations. He mapped out a mode of combat in his mind in a way that most fighters can’t.



“This sport, you need to play chess, not checkers,” said Lee. “You always need to be on your toes. You always need to predict what’s coming next. And you always need to be one step ahead of your opponent. So definitely, the ring IQ has played a big factor.”

Lee puts his skills on display on Wednesday, March 10, against Samuel Teah in the main event of Showtime’s series ShoBox: The Next Generation. His star is on the rise, and losing isn’t something he’s accustomed to. The last time he lost was in 2014, and that experience motivated him ever since.

“The last time I lost was back in 2014 at the National Junior Olympics, and that only made me push harder,” declared Lee. “I was going three times as hard in the gym. And every time I was doing conditioning or anything, I just kept thinking about that moment where my opponent’s hand was raised, and mine wasn’t.”

Teah (17-3-1, 7 KOs) is a solid veteran opponent, but there’s a good chance that he will be Lee’s 13th knockout win in a row when they fight at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT. Lee is working toward a world title shot and is keeping his eye on the entire division.

On May 22, undefeated champions Josh Taylor and Jose Ramirez fight to fully unify the junior welterweight division. Lee will be watching as a fan but used his boxing intellect to predict the winner.

“Between those two, Josh Taylor,” predicted Lee. “He’s a southpaw, a good boxer. Has speed, good power. Light on his feet, good defense, and Jose Ramirez is one-directional with those body shots. He throws the same punches over and over. Left hook to the body, left hook to the head. One, two, one, two. So it’s kind of predictable.”

While Lee says he’s watching the fight as a fan, he knows that they have the titles he wants.

“Between the two, I think both will work with my style just fine,” said Lee. “Because you know, I box, and I can punch.”

Lee was a prodigy as a child, but he’s working towards completing the transition from prodigy to legend as a young man. He’s partway there, and with his focus, diligence, and intelligence, it’s not hard to imagine him as a future world champion.

Watch Brandun Lee vs. Samuel Teah in the ShoBox main event on Wednesday, March 10, on Showtime at 9 p.m. ET.

FINAL QUOTES:

Brandun Lee


"People are saying this is my step-up fight. I know Teah is a veteran and has beaten some decent prospects. I’m looking forward to bringing the best out of him.

"I think Samuel Teah is going to be a pressure fighter. For sparring, I had an Argentinian and a few Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan fighters that put on good pressure. I got great work.

“March 10th, I’m here to give the people what they want. People want to see knockouts so that’s what I’m here to do. Every time I get in the ring, I’m learning something new. By me knocking these guys out, of course my confidence is growing each fight but I can’t underestimate anyone.

“Definitely by the end of 2021 I would love to have my hands on some sort of world title. Whether it’s the IBO or WBA world title, Jaron Ennis won a world title and I think it’s almost time for me to go for mine.

“As far as my conditioning goes, I’m sparring for 13 rounds straight. I’m conditioned if I need to turn it on.

“Teah’s never been stopped before. I know he’s going to be aggressive and come forward. He’s a combination puncher and likes to hit the body. Whatever he brings to the table I’m ready to do what I do. The test would be if he took me to later rounds, since I’ve never been past four.”

Samuel Teah

“Since the fight came together, I’ve familiarized myself with Lee but prior to that I wasn’t too familiar with him. On paper, he would be the best prospect I’ve faced but skills-wise, you never know until you get in there with him. Plus, I’m in a different skill level in my career now than when I fought some of the other top prospects like Montana Love, so I kind of look at the opposition differently now.

“We’re not going to discredit the knockouts that he has, but at the end of the day pretty much all of those guys just came in the ring to survive. I’m not going in there just to survive. He hasn’t faced anybody like me and I’ve faced much higher quality opposition. He’ll realize the quality in me is far greater than everybody he has faced.

“I can show him a lot that he hasn’t seen before in the ring. The last fight that he had, he fought a guy that went in there with a mindset that he wasn’t going to give any respect to the fact that Brandun Lee has a great record with a bunch of KOs in a row. He came in there and in my opinion, he beat the breaks off him in the second round. The stop was premature and quite frankly I don’t think Lee has been in front of anybody who has a jab like mine.

“A win in this fight would mean everything. I feel like beating Sonny Fredrickson was great for my career, but because of the fact that it wasn’t televised and it happened at a charity event, it kind of flew under the radar and got swept under the rug. This caliber of win on national TV would catapult my career to a whole different level.”

Misael Lopez

“I know Jordan White is a good fighter and a good step up for me. I know a lot of guys here in Colorado saw him in the amateurs and he’s a good East Coast fighter. He’s got good speed and I respect his talent for sure. He’s a good counterpuncher. But I think I could take him out with my pressure – my pressure will break him

“I don’t want to think about my layoff and use it as an excuse. I feel good and have been good sparring with Jamel Herring and Gabriel Flores. The training was there.

“I have two kids now and that’s my major motivation. I’m pretty locked in when I get in the ring so not having fans there won’t bother me.

“I’ve got a good team behind me and everything I can ask for. Now it’s just about taking care of business and I think by the end of the year I’ll be a contender. I have no doubt about it. I’m hungry and training full-time where I was doing construction before. Now I’m focused on my career 100 percent.”

Jordan White

“We’ve been working hard. I don’t think the layoff is going to affect me at all. We’ve been getting some good sparring and we recently built a gym in our backyard to help us with training and sparring. We have a ring and everything we need. Everything is going according to plan and I think March 10 is going to be a great show.

“When I fought Adam Lopez, I was 18 years old and I broke my left hand in the first round. That was the cause of the loss, but I fought my heart out and I think I showed a lot that night. It’s not the dog in the fight, it’s the fight in the dog. That’s what I learned that night.

“I watched a little bit of film on Misael Lopez. He’s a good opponent for me. He’s undefeated. It’s definitely going to be a good fight. I’m a versatile fighter so I look at it as what I’m going to do to him, rather than what he’s going to do to me. I have a game plan. He’s going to have to adjust to me, not the other way around.

“I’m a much better fighter than when I fought Adam Lopez four years ago. First off, my hand is healthy. But I’ve been training so much harder and I feel like I’ve developed as a fighter. Mentally and physically. When I fought Adam Lopez, I should have been fighting at 130. It was tough for me to make 126. I look forward to fighting him again. That’s definitely on my list.

“I think I have one of the best jabs in the game. I’m a very elusive fighter. I have a lot of styles and I can show them way better than I can describe them. I have great speed. Great power and definitely a great IQ. I may be ‘Short Dog’ but I’m always the big dog in the ring!”

Steven Ortiz

"I contracted the COVID virus maybe four or five months back. I beat it, though. I got by it. I had minor symptoms, but my wife, she was very ill and pregnant at the time. It affected her real bad, and it was a scary situation. But everything's fine now and the baby came out fine.

“I don't know much about Jeremy Hill. He's six-foot tall, pretty long reach. I’ve seen a few videos, not too much. He’s pretty sharp, pretty competitive, so I'm looking for an entertaining fight.

“I see myself becoming a world champion, just like Tevin Farmer. We’ve worked together in camps in the past.

“I'm just anxious to break ice at the moment. I haven't fought in a year and a half due to COVID. I had a few opportunities last year, but they all fell through. I will definitely be more consistent after this fight."

Jeremy Hill

“This is a make-or-break opportunity for me. With all my years of hard work, this is what it comes down to. It’s a better life for me and my family. It’s that time for me to take the next step in my career and make my greatness be shown. It’s time to show why my manager Adam Glenn believes in me and why the city of New Orleans believes in me.

“I don’t feel like I’m playing catchup because I had a late start in boxing. I never thought of it like that. I tell myself that everybody has their own path that starts at a different time and I was blessed enough to be gifted at it and I excelled the way that I did through my hard work and my talents.

“The short notice won’t impact me at all. I’ve had enough time to prepare. I train year-round so I don’t have to get ready. We stay ready for opportunities that hopefully come along. And this opportunity came up and I’m ready for it.

“I’ve seen a little bit of tape on Ortiz. All I know is that he can’t beat me. I’m a versatile fighter. I can take it inside or stay outside if I need to. A lot of guys that I fight are shorter than me so they try to take it inside on me. I made sure that I did have that in my arsenal so that when I do have those pressure fighters who are good at getting on the inside, I know how to handle myself in tight quarters.”

Victor Padilla

“I used to be a wild, wild kid and that created the power in my punch. As the years went by I would punch the bag hard. I actually watched a lot of Roberto Duran, and he hits the bag hard. So that made me hit the bag hard to create more power. Duran, Mike Tyson and Sugar Ray (Leonard). Those are my favorite fighters.

“We aren’t looking for any knockouts. I’m trying to change my ways. I’m trying to show my abilities and do what I do. If I can get the knockout, great. But I’ll just try to punish. I hit hard in both hands. I’ve got eight rounds and I’m not in any rush. I’ll just take it round by round.

“I’ve been waiting 13 years for this. I've been training for a whole year straight, going hard. No gimmicks or any funny stuff. No days off. Every Sunday I go and bike 26 miles. I actually had two fights lined up, but the COVID pandemic messed those opportunities up. I believed the big opportunity was going to come, so I just stayed ready and focused. And here I am.

“I’ve never been knocked out in sparring or been rocked in a fight. I want to just go out there and have fun. I like to fight, but you're going to see a new me. Now I’m boxing. I have power and the ability to outbox anybody. I’m now taking it page by page. I’m slowing it down, taking guys apart.”

Thomas Velasquez

“I would describe my boxing style as an offensive fighter. I use my jab well. All I know about Padilla is that he’s left-handed and he likes to throw power punches. So I just need to box him. We prepared in camp for his style. I sparred with southpaws and I’m very comfortable with it.

“Since I’ve started working with Hamza Muhammad, I’ve been becoming a better boxer. My last fight compared to the fight before that – I definitely think I’ve upped my game. This fight on March 10, you’re going to see even more of that.

“It doesn’t matter that he’s a local guy close to where I’m from in Philly. Being in any fight is motivation enough because I love boxing. I love being in the ring so anything that has me back in the ring has me excited and motivated, regardless of who it is.

“I now have twin girls and they are my motivation. I don’t want my girls to grow up the way I did in poverty. So I need to push harder. I need to do that extra round, that extra mile. I need to spar with better people. People that are going to whoop on me because I need that push and I need to do more so they don’t have to go through the same struggles I did growing up.”

Lee is a pretty sharp boxer who's willing to mix it up.
I don't think the Linger fight should have been stopped that early, however Lee can hit a bit with 19 stoppages in 21 bouts.
I wonder if Teah can take him a few rounds.

Teah's never been stopped despite being in with a number of prospects, and he does have some solid shobox level wins.....o shaquie foster, ken simms jr, sonny frederickson

if lee blows him out quick like lee's done to his other opponents, it will defo be impressivee

i think more likely is lee by wide decision

Not sure how it will end, from what I've seen of him what would concern me is Lee just walks on in there without too much regard for what's coming back.
He might get away with it for now, but sooner or later someone's bound to catch him, his corner might want to think about that as time goes on and not make him so reliant on power.
That said his attack skills are ok, the jury is out on defence for now.

Who do these cards attract... Whenever i stream a USA card the live chat on the side just boils down to a race war... the semi impressive thing is how diverse the racism is.
right now there is a black guy, a white guy, an asian guy, a latino and a jewish guy all arguing over who is the superior race... The user called hitler seems to have to battle them from all angles.

Lee wins by KO 3.
Not seen it but apparently a good knockout.

Lee looks a bit De La Hoya -ish.
Right hook stopped Teah.
Lee looked good, Teah's punches were coming up short and he looked far away while Lee picked away at him in the ring.
Lee has a useful left, good for the highlight reel that's for sure.

Yeh, waste of spaces.. I remember watching Briedis-Dorticos on a stream. There was no way to close the chat.

You end up reading the comments more than the fight. Absolute stupidity.
