You can't win a fight if you don't throw. 2-1 Chavez.

So much for scoring a fight, good win for Chavez.

Re: HBO BAD: Chavez Jr vs Lee

Andy Lee was about as refreshingly honest as a fighter could be after a disappointing lost. He said he couldn't keep Chavez off of him with the punches he was throwing-translation-Chavez didn't respect his power.

Spoiler

ANDY LEE:“My punches had no effect on him,” “He just walked through my shots. He’s a big middleweight. It was hard to move him with my shots.”

An entertaining fight for awhile, but as Chavez starting landing those hard body punches you could see Lee wilt.

Chavez is a big middleweight, hits hard, is a very good body puncher, and has a great chin. As brought out by Lampley post fight, how would a natural 154 pounder like Martinez handle him? I've got Sergio but it's a fight I'd like to see.

EDIT:I know there aren't many Kelly Pavlik fans at OS but I'd like to see him fight Chavez at 165.

Re: HBO BAD: Chavez Jr vs Lee

Impressive win by Jr. Chavez in a "prove-it" bout of sorts....I'm a believer. I think the kid can box, and I think he can give Martinez all he can handle. If not Sergio, then when will we see him square off with Canelo Alvarez? I used to think Canelo was the better prospect of the two, but now I'm not at all sure...

Same here. I didn't really respect JR until that win.
Lee is no joke. JR took his power away from him with all those body shots.

I can't wait for the 15th. That should be a great tilt.

As far as Lee, where does he go from here? I don't know if he'll ever be able to hang with the top dogs at 160. But I don't see him doing much at 168 or 175 either.
Lee could become a very good gate keeper, but I don't know if he'll ever be true champ.

Decent puncher , good chin, just not quite enough of either-a solid Top Tenner.
