Don't think weight had anything to do with it. His stamina was fine. Just fought really ****** in spots. And the ring was kind of small for the strategy I thought he was trying to use.
I was puzzled by his tactics. Why fight fro. A crouch against a smaller opponent who's outreached by several inches? Why not establish that jab?
That being said, the frenchman deserves credit. He put on a lot of pressure. Lee looked like a trainwreck afterwards.
I think Andy Lee is a top 20/30 middleweight but I'm not entirely sure if Booth and him are a good fit considering Lee's previous style. It seems like Booth's style is the Haye/Groves style (power counter punching) and he tries to turn all his fighters more into that style. He tried to get Aydin fighting like that against Karass and it was a horror show. Also Lee is surely too tall to be a junior middleweight.
