How the hell was that stopped? Lee tagged Vera, Vera's legs nearly went, he clocked Lee again, Lee again threw a shot back and somehow the ref stopped it mental. Lee had been in trouble earlier in the round, but, I think Vera was in more trouble at that point. Watch his knees nearly go with Lee's punch just before it's stopped.
ya i saw that i think if it had kept going either one could have fallen, but up until then lee did look well beaten, however his legs NEVER went. Rematch etc written all over it. Definitely controversial and ive heard the rumours circulating already...
macklin had a good fight against campos.
I'm guessing that earlier in the round, the referee had seen Lee in trouble and had said to himself "If he takes one more big shot to the head, I'm going to stop it". But I think too much time had elapsed since Lee had last been hurt for that rationale to still work. And if a fighter is ahead on points (some poster said Lee was) and hasn't been knocked in the round or fight, he really should be out on his feet for a referee to step in.Quote:

And the fact that Lee allowed that big punch to land, even though his counter also landed hard, would suggest that he wasn't reacting at 100%.
Anyone that watches boxing regularly could tell you that Lee and Macklin are very ordinary. Peters is doing a good job in duping the public into thinking we have talented boxers
I watched the Lee fight over the weekend, a bad stoppage no doubt but Lee looked very ordinary was dragged down to Vera’s lever way too easily, never put any combinations together. Lee should have been able to pick him off at will, he was walking in with his head all over the place, given his reach advantage Lee should have been jabbing him into oblivion.
He must have something going for him to be at the kronk Gym with Manny Steward but he looked very average, not close to being a world level contender at the moment that’s for sure.
I havent seen much lee bar whats on youtube, but that match last friday shows he is very one dimensional and cant adapt to a "fight", macklin can from what i have seen of him and althought he is in ordinary unless lee can adapt he wont go as far as macklin cos he isnt able to fight inside.Quote:

august rematch by the sounds of things....someone was saying though lees eyes were rolling round in his head as he went back to his corner....plus manny stewart seemed to think it was the right decision, so must have seen or noticed something we didnt.
