ST. LOUIS -- World junior middleweight Willie "The Great" Nelson 21-1-1, 12 KOs) has been caught in the middle of a boxing power play, resulting in the loss of his HBO PPV debut fight June 7 against Andy Lee (32-2, 22 KOs) at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Team Nelson had agreed to the Lee fight, which was supposed to be part of the HBO PPV headlined by Miquel Cotto vs. Sergio Martinez. However, plans changed yesterday with the announcement that Lee will now face John "Dah Rock" Jackson (18-1, 15 KOs), the same fighter Nelson defeated in 2012.

I have been a fan on Willie since I saw him take the ugliest left hook I have seen from Yudel Johnson then come back and put on a boxing clinic.

I hope Willie gets a shot at the winner and takes his head off.

Nelson vs Lee would have actually been a decent fight.

They should put Jesus Cuello instead of Nelson.

Nelson/Johnson fight was very entertaining fast paced high contact and razor thin decision the rematch would be welcomed, this is an even fight one thing's for sure though John doesn't have his Old Man's punching power.
