Because he's come to win. He's working his ass off getting in, even using a jab against the taller Lee, and really letting himself go once he gets in. Andy doesn't seem to have much inside game at all and when Vera gets past the distance Lee likes...Andy doesn't have much to answer with.

YOU DO NOT STOP A FIGHT WHEN A FIGHTER IS IN THE MIDDLE OF RETURNING A PUNCH.
That robbed Lee of either coming back or Vera of getting a real K.O. Andy was fighting back. Terrible stoppage. Yes, he was getting smacked around- but he was answering back at the very instant he was stopped. The referee can actually be seen stopping the fight WHILE Andy Lee is throwing a punch....?
All I gotta say to this. Vera got a CHIN! Damn he was eating every straight left flush on the chin by Lee. Not budging an inch. Guy was determined to pull off the upset and got it.
Vera is a terrible fighter, hands low, clumsy punches, just awful. His heart and determination got him the upset though, and good for him he deserved the win. I think Manny Steward's stock just folded tenfold LOL.
