Limerick's Andy Lee produced the punch of his career to knock John Jackson out after taking an early beating on the Cotto-Martinez undercard at Madison Square Garden in New York.

John Jackson dropped Lee with a massive right hook in the first round and continued to punish him in the second.

Lee kept Jackson at bay with a long, stiff jab in the third but Jackson was controlling the fight.

It looked like Jackson was about to finish lee off when the Irishman unloaded a massive hybrid hook-uppercut on the chin that knocked Jackson completely unconscious and prompted a wild rush into the ring from concerned medical staff and cornermen.

The fight was Lee's first at Junior Middleweight and the win saw him crowned the NABF light middleweight champ.

Incredible punch by Andy. He still isn't ready for another crack at the big time though.

Fury is having no luck with these opponents. His inactivity, which is no fault of his own, could really impact on his career. He's a knob but I do feel a bit sorry for him.

You ever see some of the stuff he puts up on twitter and sorry is not a word you would be associating with him any time soon.

Absolute gobshite

I don't bother much with Twitter. Just commenting on a boxer whose career has been badly interrupted over the past 24 months through no fault of his own. I am however aware that he is a knob, as I stated in my post, but I'm also aware that he is a self publicist who uses social media to increase his profile and therefore increase his marketability. I wouldn't be getting too upset by his comments.

No, no need to get upset I guess unless you were Gay

Interesting there in the British Empire Games.  In his semi final Michael Conlan was stopped in the 2nd round due to a bad cut but because it was caused by a clash of heads and Conlan was ahead on the judges cards at the time, he goes through to the final.  The amateurs have stopped wearing headguards.

Paddy Barnes has said that it's harder to win the National Championships than win a medal at the Empire Games.  At least we think that's what he said.

Just saw Sean Duffy from Keady come in to the ring behind the Loyalist Banner with a tricolour tattooed on his arm!

Duffy and McGlinchey both got their pans knocked in.

all in all though, a slightly better achievement than your post

Paddy was vociferous in his criticism of Rory McIlroy when he chose to compete for Ireland in the Olympics next year, yet has no problems himself with competing in these Empire Games under the flag of Northern Ireland

Rory's going to get a surprise when he arrives in Rio next year.

Actually one fight it might be worth seeing will be between Olympic champion Nicola Adams of England and our wee Michaela Walsh for the gold medal in the flyweight division.  Walsh has been tipped to be the next big thing in women's boxing.  I think that final is tomorrow afternoon (not sure)

[Christmas Lights]

Assume at these games you cant face someone from your own country in the boxing??
