I saw him on the undercard of Cotto vs Margarito...kid is nothing special.

When the Subway commercial first aired he was like 4-0 hahahaha. No idea why he was chosen.

When I saw that commercial, I quickly checked Top Rank.com because I knew I have seen him before but I didn't recognize him right away. At first I thought he was just an actor acting as a random boxer with a random name. I knew he was a Top Rank fighter cause I remembered I saw him on TR's page, that's why I went to check. Never seen him fight though.

How did Lee get Subway gig?

It's not unusual for a boxer to think about food before weighing in for a fight.

It was quite uncommon, though, when light heavyweight Mike Lee filmed a Subway commercial two hours before he scaled 177 1/4 on July 8 for his July 9 fight with Michael Birthmark in Carson, Calif.

He knocked out the ad in less than an hour, Lee's father, John, said. The next night, he knocked out Birthmark in three rounds.

Chad Caufield, managing partner at MMB in Boston, the agency that handles Subway's advertising, said they didn't script Lee, but let him use his own words. "You would have thought he'd been doing this all his life."

"It was a wonderful discovery, finding him," Caufield said. Lee came to the attention of a Subway marketing official who had heard that John Lee always has a foot-long turkey sub from Subway ready for his son after weigh-ins.

Following an initial meeting on the East Coast, Lee was OK'd for the shoot, which was filmed at Paramount Studios in California. Actually he had a non-speaking part in the first commercial he shot, which will air beginning Oct. 1.

He did so well, it led to a speaking part in the commercial being shown now, which also features better-known athletes Ryan Howard, Michael Strahan and Justin Tuck.
