NEW YORK – It isn’t in Andy Lee’s nature to make bold knockout predictions or to say disparaging things about his opponents.
The only promises the mild-mannered Irishman made Thursday at a news conference in Manhattan were that he’ll take risks against Peter Quillin on Saturday night at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and that they’ll produce a fan-friendly, entertaining middleweight title fight. Lee (34-2, 24 KOs) will make the first defense of the WBO 160-pound title he won by stopping Russia’s Matt Korobov (24-1, 14 KOs) on Dec. 13 in Las Vegas. Quillin (31-0, 22 KOs) will try to regain the middleweight title he gave up last summer, when he declined to make a mandatory defense against Korobov.
