Mike Lee: record, next fight and profile →
Rosemont, Illinois, Dome at the Ballpark - USBA light heavyweight champion Mike Lee was able to reach 20-0 (with 11 knockouts) with ease. It only took him one round to crush Aaron Quattrocchi (10-2-1), who went down twice and took a pounding before the contest was waved off by the referee.
Mike Lee wasn’t paying particular attention to the numbers in his win column, but when his Friday fight with Aaron Quattrocchi was dubbed by promoters as “Going for 20-0,” he had to at least acknowledge this potential milestone in his pro boxing career. “Other people made it more of a big deal than I did in my own head,” Lee said. “I’m the kind of person that won’t be fully satisfied until I get a chance to fight for a world title. That’s why I started and that’s why I’m doing this. So while I’m happy and enjoying the fact that I’m going for 20-0, it’s not the be-all end-all for me.”
