Lee goes down to Chavez

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. stopped Andy Lee at 2:21 of the seventh round to retain the WBC middleweight title overnight.

A right uppercut by Chavez snapped Lee's head upwards and sideways and Chavez connected on a barrage of punches before referee Laurence Cole intervened and waved an end to the fight.

"I couldn't hold him off," Lee said. "He was too big and too strong."
