Andy Lee vs McEwan was a tough fight for 2 reasons. These guys use to train together and second it was lefty vs lefty.Lee isn't a journeymen, he's pretty good.
He did get stopped by Brian Vera, although it was early in his career, and he avenged that loss in dominant fashion last year.
A fight I look at where Lee struggled big time was with Craig McEwan, until he stopped McEwan of course. McEwan gave him all he could handle and tried to pressure Lee a lot during that fight, and Lee struggled with it.
I can see Lee winning some rounds and the fight being close going into the later rounds, and than Julio stopping him. I just think Julio is going to wear him down, get him on the ropes, and it'll be a TKO in rounds 9-10.
If Lee wants to win, he has to stick and move all night, and clearly win the majority of the rounds. If Julio has his moments in a round, even though Lee out lands him and controls most of the round, you can count on that round going to Chavez on the judges cards.
There is one thing that know one really talks about when speaking on this fight is that Chavez has little experience vs southpaws and hasn't fought any half decent ones in his career.
Andy Lee is a humongous step up from the last lefty he fought.
Can Chavez do the things necessary to deal with a good lefty counter puncher?
When Chavez barrels forward he go right in the straight left and be there for the right hook.Comment

Lee just got a couple of wins thanks to Emmanuel but this **** is all hype, after the seventh round chavez will be too heavy for Lee.. If Chavez goes for the kill 11th round TKO, if not UD (Bob Arum has it covered anyways). **** Chavez until he fights Sergio he aint nothing but a taxicab assassin...Comment
