I seen a video once of Andy Lee hitting a strike pad with right hook after right hook, it was very impressive. EXPLOSIVE power. But with that said, Lee is one of my favorites but if I were booth Id get Andy Lee to stand a bit taller, he hunches over to much and I think thats why he gets caught. A tall guy like Lee should be stepping back and countering.

Andys career was looking close to over not to long ago. Guy has busted his butt to get better and keep his name relevant. Hopfully he wins this and gets GGG.

The combinations are ok but I don't like how Booth has him standing around so much doing nothing. Too much dead time in my opinion.

would like to see him to throw power/stiff jabs..
and stand taller like poster ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ said.
waste of height/reach if he doesnt utilize it

Andy has always had excellent punching technique, but my god his legs are awful. No spring in his legs at all. Booth had really improved his footwork but he still looks extremely stiff.

I've noticed Booth's fighters like Haye and Groves also have a kind of hunched over/low stance. Maybe it's trying to generate more power because his fighters do seem to hit pretty hard.

On another note... Does anyone actually know Booth's background? I know he was never a boxer but does anyone know how he got into the game because i've never heard of any information about him prior to training Haye.

That stance has saved Lee. He was ridiculously vulnerable to brawlers before he hooked up with Booth. Watch his fight with Anthony Fitzgerald on the undercard of Frampton-Kiko I back in 2013. Fitzgerald is a club fighter who got iced by Spike O'Sullivan in one round, and he was backing Lee into the corner and mauling him.

Since he hooked up with Booth that rear foot heavy stance has given Lee balance and the ability to wheel out of trouble. Doesn't take advantage of his height but it's kept his career alive.

He was a health consultant for Kylie Minogu.
