Lee wins by stoppage. Landed a beauty of a right hook and then followed up with a load of unanswered shots. Impressive stoppage. Sets him up against BJS.

well done. seemed a quick stoppage. really didn't expect this..... well done Lee

Reminded me a lot of the Jackson stoppage. Lee losing (haven't seen the cards but Korobov seemed clearly ahead to me), just hit with a good shot, and catches his opponent with a right hook when they were getting a bit wild.

Anyone think Lee takes a GGG unification instead of a bout with Saunders? Obviously he'd have a low chance of winning but the payday would likely be very good.

that would be like committing suicide!!!

BJS vs Lee would be next in Ireland or London

I think that's more likely, but Geale got paid almost 400k pounds and I can see a big offer being made to Lee.

Andy Lee never looks particularly good does he but he can bang and it's got him a world title. Fair play to him, nice guy, really pleased for him.

Korobov it has to be said is a disappointment. Technically pretty good but limited movement, limited power.

Ireland for such a small country doesn't half throw out some good fighters - McGuigan, Collins, Frampton, Lee ......................... . Tough buggers they are.

Don't think he'll get the choice, Saunders stepped aside for him, the deal was that the winner would fight Saunders/Eubank Jr, if it doesn't happen, Fwank will blow his nut and start suing people.

Almost as tough as the Welsh!

Pleased for Lee who seems a nice guy. Should he fight Golovkin? Depends on the payday because that's a fight he has virtually no chance of winning and will more than likely get bashed up himself.
Saunders doesn't have any right to be talking about a title shot yet. We can paint it how we like but his last fight was against a novice who had arguably never fought above area level.

Despite this, I think he can beat Lee

Andy lee next fight should be vs Heliand (the guy who beat macklin) then face mandatory Saunders

if macklin gets a few wins now, they will get macklin vs lee, easy!!!

He's mandatory, Lee only got the shot because he stepped aside to fight Eubank Jr.

The fall of Macklin makes a world title shot for him a total mismatch

I can actually see Eubank Jnr getting in on this, although BJS deserves it he is tied with Fwank, is Eubank not a floater?

well pleased for him, never really rated lee which I think sometimes happens when a boxer isn't aesthetically pleasing, just goes to show theres a lot more to this game than flash styles or impressive looking numbers, well done andy

Top Man Andy

BJS is a big big money fight.

if he does fit in a voluntary needs to be careful not to blow the big £££££ fight
thats why Heiland (also a south paw) is a perfect voluntary before BJS

Nice to see Lee win a title, let GGG do his thing and make some big fights over here with all the MWs knocking about.

Its great Andy has won seems a good guy as well. Such a shame Macklin was a shadow of himself a few weeks agho as that would have made a huge fight in Ireland.

Spot on bring a World Title fight to Ireland in March April would be best. However Heiland may have signed to fight Ryder by now....

BJS said that he had promised eubank jr first crack if he won the title.

Good. Then the likes of Murray/Macklin will be looking for shots. Could be an interesting couple of years.
