Lee-Eastman Not on 2/23, Duddy-Vanda Possible

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Despite what's been reported on other outlets, Andy Lee (14-0, 11KOs) will not be fighting middleweight veteran Howard Eastman (42-6, 35KOs) on the Feb. 23 undercard to Wladimir Klitschko-Sultan Ibragimov at New York's Madison Square Garden. [details]

Considering the Duddy fight is NOT on TV, the money Irish Ropes is offering, and the fact that Irish Ropes wants to bring in an opponent who they are confident they can beat because of the handshake deal to fight Pavlik, good luck finding a better opponent than Matt Vanda. Vanda is a guy who will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. Can't say that for a lot of guys out there, especially for this kinda money and not on TV.

With Pavlik around the corner, the fight with Vanda makes a lot more sense.
