AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Feel sorry for Andy Lee...hardly got a hero's welcome in his home country...now looks like he may have to defend his title on a wednesday night at the York hall...i doubt many boxing fans give a flying f**k if either fighter are traveler or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Two travelers at it would drum up a bit of interest in the ring, but not half as much as it would do on the cobbles - anyone remember Rooney v Mcginley? I was a kid at the time. Anyways, I think Lee is a class above Saunders and will do a job on him. I've been in close proximity to both, Billy looks like he could trim down to light middle and Lee is 6"2 I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been in close proximity to both, Billy looks like he could trim down to light middle and Lee is 6"2 I think Ive seen him boil down to 160 and then walk in the ring at only 165/166.....he could do 154 on a same day weigh in but would be much the smaller man in the ring if not..... he just doesnt have that structure to him he,s quite fleshy....... never have a six pack Edited September 4, 2015 by gnasher16 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I use to think he was just a lazy b*stard who liked his pies! But all things considered I think he's just unlucky with his genetics maybe? I mean the boy has and is doing well, but here domestically - in with the worlds best middles, big trouble I think. All the above said, wasn't Lee only making light middle a little way back?!? ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 31,602 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Certainly not lazy and yes i agree i think a lot of these traveller boys are just not blessed physically Fury looks the same,nothing wrong with their levels of fitness they just dont strip down like athletes.....my big worry with Billy Joe is that although he takes a great shot and is plenty durable enough he just doesnt have the power to stop an opponent in their tracks,which at the very top level can prove a weakness......im not too sure about Lee weight wise ive never really followed his career to be honest.

bryson 562 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 absolutley gutted to hear this again was really looking forward to the fight Billy joe has got in this position the hard way and for this to happen a second time it must start playing with both fighters minds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
