Lee gets the ultimate test on road to redemption

Andy Lee had his expected win in this high-profile middleweight contest in Belfast’s Odyssey Arena on Saturday, but not in the expected manner.

Not even nearly in the expected manner.

Lee is recognised as world-class and this was seen as an easy comeback fight after his loss to hard-hitting Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr in the WBC world title fight last June. A journeyman, that was Dublin’s Anthony Fitzgerald, a decent but extremely manageable step back on Lee’s road to redemption.
