Why isnt Andy Lee taking any chances?
Posted: 29 Sep 2010, 06:53
I read that Andy Lee is fighting A man called Troy Lowry next. This man is ranked 442 in the world by Boxrec, hes 40 years old, has been beaten in his last 5 fights, 4 by stoppage and he has only fought once in the past 2 years which was a 1st round stoppage defeat.
Andy has only been beaten once (by the way, Vera who beat him faces Kelly Pavlik next...spot the difference in class of opponent).
I know every fighter needs a few easier bouts to stay sharp, but this is a total non event. Why bother training to fight such a pushover.
I think Andy is a fine fighter, capable of big things so I hope that his management get him decent fights soon. I couldnt really rate any of his opponents since Vera, except Belgecham who Andy handled with ease. Gibbs who was shot, Thiam was shot and too small to be a middleweight, Walker is 2" shorter than Thiam again which must have meant that Andy nearly had a foot in height advantage over the guy.
