this is vera's second fight on HBO; he fought Kirkland a few years back I believe - got stopped. but he does look a lot better now - he really looked good against Mora.

I was confident of Lee winning the rematch, but I don't know - Vera has a jab now and can work his way inside and **** Lee out. Hopefully Lee can keep him on the outside and KO him trying to come in.

Winner vs Jacobs.

WAR LEE.This is a great fight on two levels one Andy can get over the mental block off that night and two now he is unlike then beating a good name in boxing Vera has come a long way since the loss and has shown himself to be a decent contender

I think if Lee uses a jab and keeps Vera on the outside of his long reach and **** him with power shots he beats Vera. Kid got sloppy in the first fight. Stoppage was kind of premature because Lee was still up and aware. Give the nod to Lee this time around if he's cautious.

yup, lee's gotta fight this one smart. i think he's fully capable of taking it, maybe even an outofnowhere tko like he did mcewan. hopefully it's a good fight.

Vera isn't hard to find he'll just walk forward if Lee does what he did the early part of their fight and use some movement with his punches and avoid back @ forth exchanges he'll win it.

For a Steward trained fighter, who's tall and has some power, Lee's not good at keeping range. After that, he's an open target because of his leaky defense.

Vera would walk to the inside and land his shots clean... McEwan would walk to the inside and land clean combinations, he just didn't have the power to put Lee away. I see Vera giving him another beating.
