ANDY LEE: Me and Macklin? He may just have to wait

Last Saturday night I out-boxed a very determined man in Anthony Fitzgerald. Considering it was my first fight in nine months and my first under a new coach, I’m happy to take the points win.

ANDY LEE: Me and Macklin? He may just have to wait

Fair play to Fitzgerald, he fought hard and brought the fight to me. What he lacked in technical skill he made up for in heart and determination. I’m sure if he fights like that in the future, he will beat a lot of guys.

From the first bell he charged at me, but this came as no surprise; I expected it. I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was hyped up and had come to fight. This was, after all, the biggest fight in his career to date.
