Not surprised to see Troy Lowry being the centre of debate, trouble follows that man everywhere.

Seriously, I sat down to do my picks for the Prediction League and couldn't believe Lee was fighting someone this bad.

My Prediction is Andy Lee WKO1st. If it goes 4, I will be disappointed.

Cut it out Carlos, I'm happy for Slap to stay if he's calling me hombre and He-Man - makes me feel so macho 8)
And don't forget, he "knows something we don't know"

não e vergonha e o sistema :P

Lee will carry lowry for a few rounds to get the good work in. I would be shocked if he went all guns blazing and took him out in one round. At least 5 rounds imo.

You have spoken more sense in one post than SBW has in 6 years of posting! :P

Len's use of 'hombre' is obvious - he is becoming a fanboy of Saul O'Alvarez! Mexicos only ever recorded citizen of the ginger persuausion! Watch him turn Irish on Leonards website - especially if he wins a world title! :geek2:

That's not really that bad though is it really, it's just a bit of caper, know mean. We've all done it at some stage, bit of fun.

What? You mean seeing the pompous British and thick Irish bicker and moan while intelligent people like ourselves take a break from our sex, drugs and rock and roll life style to sit and watch? 8)

Do you want me to tell everyone that you were wrong over the passport issue and the British title? Remember that one? Six pages of you calling the Paddies thick and McCloskey a Brit - turned out you were wrong didnt it. Now ssssssshhh! the big boys with (some) brain cells (left) are talking! x

Saul is Irish - no doubt in that, 110% Mickey O'Shea - you obviously never heard of Los San Patricios

Fair play to Len, fightnews is reporting that Duddy-Lee looks a goer for Madison Square Garden on December 4, which means that the only true Irishmen in the Garden will be the fighters themselves.

Indeed - according to 'the law' you don't have to be a British citizen to fight for the title - This has wiped out aroud a hundred years of tradition and I wasn't aware the change had come about (Maybe 'The Law' could furnish us with details) and once where the likes of Mick Leahy, Barry McGuigan, Najib Daho and more recently - Bruce Scott and Peter Oboh had to change their nationality to British to fight for the title - looks like this is no longer the case. Though I did read somewhere that Ovill McKenzie was still 'ineligible' to fight for the British title - why would this be?

Did we ever establish that Paul McCloskey doesn't have a British passport?

'Big Boys?' Brain Cells? Leonard - you are as much of a intellectual giant as a squashed turd - as your participation on this forum just proves time and time again...

No. There's still no justification for the so-called fight that's taking place beforehand.

Again, as always there examples, you give are all of people that were born outside of the United Kingdom. You may not appreciate my take on the boxing scene but I assure you 1,000's others do. I am not trying to say I am some towering intellectual and/or journalistic icon up there with the likes of Gary Bushell or the 3am Girls but I do my best with the limited amount of time I have available.

Actually the majority of purchasers of tickets for Duddy's fights are first generation Irish in New York or more specifically Queens. Increasingly becoming an aging and dying bred since 9/11 and the increased invigilance at US Board Control - damn pesky moozlums!

Its the 2nd/3rd/4th etc generation guys that really boost the TV ratings.

stop all the rowing :!: any boxing fan know's that lee is way beyond such a bout :!: regardless of nationality & all man originate from africa, so we are all bros. anyhow D

I dont think anyone is saying that Lee isnt beyond this bout.

Muchadoaboutnothing!

they are saying it's farcial & by lee's standard's & it is especially when you look at his rival's barker,macklin, duddy,pirog.

McGuigan didn't give up his irish nationality, because he got a british passport. Alot of people in the six counties(the North of Ireland) have both Irish and british passports.
A girl I work with has both passports. When she's flying to the UK she carries her british passport, she says she gets less hassle. Flying to anywhere else she uses an Irish passport, she says she gets more hassle if they think she's a brit 8).

Lets not shall we. The above is as close as we are going to get to an apology from Carlos for perpetuating a 6 page bun fight on the basis of incorrect information.

Have a look at my earlier posts - I've said that none one could defend this bout as being competitive or meaningful (outside of Lee's bank manager)

Its a nothing fight that keeps Andy in pocket money and make his record appear better to an uninformed observer whilst he waits for something bigger in the pipeline. I'm simply bemused at all the fuss.

p.s. I would drop Barker from that list of examples.

why he's undefeated??? & has looked good??

that's a silly statement, he is clearly knocking on the door & is fighting live opponent's.

isnt not that silly actually.

Barker has had one fight this year. That was against Affif Belgacham. Lee beat him, and more convincingly.
