From the desk of Kronk Press Officer Damian McCann: “Andy Lee from Limerick, Ireland wakes up this morning [written on Sunday] as the new WBO world middleweight champion following an impressive sixth round stoppage win over Matt Korobov last night in Las Vegas, USA. Lee started the fight by keeping matters at long range and was patience using his jab and picking his punches.
Limerick light-middleweight Andy Lee is busy preparing for his December 13 date with unbeaten Matt Korobov but it’s the 30-year-old’s exploits in his most recent outing that have seen Andy become somewhat of an online sensation. According to internet trend-catcher Buzzsumo.com Lee’s stunning fifth-round knockout of John Jackson has pulled in well over 400,000 shares, with the majority coming courtesy of the Google Plus social media network.
