Jesus I didnt realise it was that congested! :eek: Was at his fight last sat, great occasion, very enjoyable and would definately go again as the atmosphere for him was superb.

Considering Lee hasn't been a pro that long this is the right way to bring him up . It was the way Tyson was brought up and the only real problem is watching for fatigue .

If the fight with Winky right does go ahead(and being very presumptious assuming Andy wins) then no one will be able to see Andy didn't deserve a title shot should the Pavlik bout happen before the end of the year .

didnt know there was talks of him fighting winky,
how definite is this to go ahead, have they been in negotiations or has it just been thrown out there as a possibility?

It's a possibility ,the only definite fight right now is the Brian Vera one(a positive step imo) .

We caught up with Mr. Lee to get his thoughts on being compared with James Brown.

JP: Andy, how do you feel being compared with such a legendary icon?
AL: I feel good.

JP: Excellent, congrats on another win, most predicted a lee points victory, and were surprised you knocked him out, your thoughts?
AL: I knew that I would

JP: We see great comraderie in boxing. you spoke with Falliga after the bout, how did he seem?
AL: We spoke briefly, he was quite shook and in a cold sweat

JP: Your KO of former world champ Carl Daniels last year was awesome, how do you train to get your shots so precise?
AL: Its a shot we have been working on for some time, keep practicing and doin it to death, then in the ring you just get on the good foot, and think: I got you , and that was it, of course when you KO a guy you always think please please please let him be ok, he recovered fine and is back winning again

JP:As they say "this game is no ballet"
AL: thats for sure, its a mans world

JP: If i may make a personal comment...?
AL: Try me

JP: your replies are cheesier than a block of kilmeadin
AL: I know, i cant stand myself

JP:Not to worry, they are kinda bad though...
AL: super bad

JP: Ok dude, time to give it up or turn loose
AL; ok ill stop now, its getting too funky in here

JP: Back to your training, now that you re living in America, how is that going?
AL: great, ive progressed alot since going over and we are always keeping things fresh, Mannys got a brand new bag of tricks in preperation for the upcoming bouts.

JP: are you looking forward to fighting so regularly?
AL: Absolutely, we see it as a good move and i got the feeling its gonna be a good year

JP: speaking of upcoming fights, there is talk of you fighting future hall of famer winky wright, how do you feel sharing the ring with a fighter of this caliber?
AL:Confident, he has great credentials, an excellent defence but against me, winky would be going to sleep on the night train and waking up in destination canvas city... Im the boss.

JP: Good to hear it, well best of luck in your career, thank for your time:
AL: Thank you

so for the people who are wondering, the highlighted text indicates a James Brown Song...
... I couldnt resist
