Comeback not enough as Lee loses to Cuban

ANDY LEE suffered his first defeat since the Athens Olympics when he went under 16-12 to Yordanis Despagne Herrera from Cuba, in a thrilling middleweight contest in Liverpool last night when the Four Nations played host to the amateur boxing world superpower.

Lee, who is still a long way short of his best with just a handful of contests under his belt since Athens last year, failed to register a single point on the computer in the third round.

He came back to win the fourth 5-3 but it was not enough.
