Andy Lee vs. Peter Quillin

[Beercules]

I'm going to go to church and light some candles, hoping Quacklin gets knocked out.



But I fear Quacklin wins a decision.

As for the chin, I think it's decent. He went down for the first time off a good punch at 154.

He's only had two fights at 154 though.

That's the problem - a good punch will knock him down and his defense is leaky. This is at 160 where he's been KO'd twice by guys with less power then Quillin.

Unless Quillin just doesn't show up and has a really lackluster performance (which I suppose isn't completely out of the question) I don't see this fight going the distance.

No, prior to the Jackson bout Andy never weighed in under 158.5lbs in his career, and Jackson's a big puncher. His first stoppage loss was at 23 years old vs Vera, where they talked about him having the flu prior to the fight and how it was almost canceled, and the other was against a cruiser weight Chavez.

I'll argue Andy's every bit as durable as Quillin. I remember when Pete was young getting hurt bad against Dionisio Miranda. And then there was the Rosado fight. Both times off right hands.

With the exception of N'Dam, Quillin's only ever fought wounded ducks. Brinkley, McKewan, Wright, Rosado all coming off devastating losses, while Guerrero was known to be made of glass, and Konecny was all but retired with vision issues prior to Quillin's team rejecting a similar offer from Matthew Macklin choosing to fight Konecny instead.

Quillin doesn't have an extensive amateur background where he developed strong fundamentals and he's been out for nearly a year now and away from his trainer the whole time. I couldn't see Quillin walking through the same shots Andy was hitting Chavez with in order to get to Andy either. I think this fight will show a definite skill gap between the two fighters.

Has kid undercard ever fought a puncher? I think his chin is shaky too, he got hurt by ****ing Rosado.

I am 99% sure that Andy has enough pop to melt this chocolate.

[Jloro]

Good fight, not sure who takes it

[petero]

You gotta go with the guy who's been busy. I like Lee by stoppage.
You gotta wonder who in their right mind would turn down 1.4 million
as Kid Choc did. Anyone know the REAL story about that?

People picking Lee are doing so out of dislike of Quillin. Lee isn't very good. And while Quillin deserves all the backlash he gets, he's got power and Lee doesn't have the greatest chin in the world. Mid to late TKO Quillin.

^.^.^.^.^.

Wow... a lot of people picking Lee

This right here. Lee is more flawed than Quillin and realistically shouldn't win this fight.

Come April 11th, Quillin's the one who's going to be relying on his money punch to bail him out. I remember when Quillin/Rosado was announced and everybody thought it was an easy fight for Quillin. I said Rosado was going to give him a war and did. Lee is going to put on a clinic.
