IM so glad to see white Americans in boxing again. This is almost historical....two white Americans fighting for the world title. I hope win boxing being more accessible to the masses and covered by sports media again that we see more of the majority in the USA coming back to the sport

I haven’t looked at Lee’s record but I don’t think he had an amateur career and he picked boxing instead of going to work as a financial advisor (after graduating Notre Dame). He also had some injuries that he has had to overcome.

All that aside, he’s put a lot of time into developing boxing skills and gaining some name recognition.

I guess you’re right that he didn’t earn his title shot in the traditional way but it was ironic that we had a similar convo about Lee years ago and now he’s fighting for a championship.

one of us knows boxing, bruh. i had media credentials and i covered local fights in boston for years. i'm not goign to rip on you any further because you seem to realize you didn't really look into it. he didn't earn his title shot.

Mm. I can't see it. He doesn't have a lot of experience at 168. Being used to fighting larger might be seen as an advantage but in some cases it really isn't if you can't adapt your fight style to a lower weight class. Very few fighters have done that successfully. Plus Plant is getting tipped off by Toney, who would have been absolute nightmare for Mike Lee's aggressive style.

this bold part f#cking made me laugh.

in other news; james toney would have beaten mike lee in a boxing match. we are also being told that the sky is blue, water is wet, judas sold jesus out to the romans.


that video is sad as hell. james toney sounds like he's still got his mouthpiece in.
