Julio Cesar Chavez Jr defeats Andy Lee in El Paso

Lee's bid to win the WBC ends in disappointment

“Andy fought well when he fought from a distance, and I had him up 4-2 like all the judges did,” said Lee’s promoter Lou DiBella afterwards.

“But I’ve always said this, and I said this before the fight, sometimes Andy’s problem is that his heart overcomes his brain and he wants to stand there and trade, and he traded with a much bigger and stronger guy. Andy’s punches didn’t seem to be able to get his kid. He landed some flush punches that Chavez simply didn’t move back.

 “Andy won the first half of the fight, and then he just got knocked out.”

DiBella went on to say that there were still plenty of good fights available for Lee in the 160 pound division, but that the 28-year-old needed to go and have a good break before any discussions of future assignments would take place.
