Andy Lee Eyes Rematch With Brian Vera

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to a recent report in the Irish Independent, middleweight Andy Lee (15-1, 12 KOs) is on a mission, he wants to avenge his upset loss to Contender star Brian Vera (16-1, 10 KOs), which took place last week on ESPN's Friday Night Fights. Vera stopped Lee within seven-rounds. [details]

Lee has something to prove in the rematch, I think he'll knock out Vera.

I bet he does eye a rematch......He was embarrassed. I mean the stoppage was a tad premature but he was clearly tired and hurt. I'm game for a rematch it turned out to be a decent fight after Lee dominated early.

[MELLY-MEL...]

he should for sure, but it still won't change the fact that lee was shaken up huge, by the very, very average vera. or the fact that i know now that manny was hyping lee up as the next king to rule the mw's as the bull**** hype it was!

[Sin City]

Vera looked like Rocky that night blocking punches with his face

[Jim Jeffries]

Props to Lee for jumping right back in there. It appears that he wasn't able to hurt Vera though, and unless somehow his right hand was hurt in the first fight, I see the same result. Unless he learns how to fight on the inside, or at least protect himself a bit better.

100% no doubt that Vera gets KO'd in the rematch. However, can anyone see Lee standing a chance against Pavlik? If you know for sure that you will never be able to beat the best, does that mean that you stop trying to. Pavlik would make short work out of either of these two fighters and i think they know that.

Nice to see Andy really not complaining about that stoppage. I thought it was premature, but he was definitely badly hurt so in the long run it was probably a good thing. He understood that Vera forced a fight and he obliged instead of sticking to what he was doing well. I think he needs to work on his inside fighting better and learn how to clinch properly. I think Andy learned a lot from that fight and the outcome should be different.

[Nacho_Analstain]

he just showed inexperience, the rematch vera would be stopped early, the fight shouldn't have been stopped when it was, vera took a big left hand just as the ref stopped it.

100% no doubt that Vera gets KO'd in the rematch. However, can anyone see Lee standing a chance against Pavlik?

No doubt. Manny Steward saying Lee was ready for Pavlik is laughable. Pavlik would KO him inside 2......
