Andy Lee moves to 18-1 13 Ko's

Andy Lee moves to 18(13ko’s)-1 after a victory over Oleg Fedetovs 10-5-0 on the undercard of last Saturdays Klitschko Chaegev fight in Germany. Lee won by unanimous decision in this 6 round matchup. The Irish Southpaw has trained under the great Emmanuel Steward from the Krunk Gym fame. Steward seems to have Lee back on track after last years devastating upset from Brian Vera. Andy Lee faced his first defeat of his professional career in a seventh round knockout at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. Since the defeat, Lee has won the last three fights in which two were fought in Ireland, and this past weekends took place at Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen Germany.

Requiem for a Heavyweight

With the movie selection at the video store slim, I searched the overpriced cable channels for something of quality to watch. Stuck in reality hell, I surfed the on demand channels until I settled onto Turner Classic Movies. Requiem for a Heavyweight goes back to a time in film production when men were real men. An all star lineup with a great cast of legends including Jack Dempsey, Muhammad ALi, Willie Pep, and a cast of other great Boxers.
With Anthony Quinn as Louis “Mountain” Rivera, a one time Heavyweight Contender who is at the end of his career. Jackie Gleason plays the seedy manager Maish Rennick who is out for his own best interest instead of his boxer. Mickey Rooney plays the trainer and care taker for big Mountain Rivera. Requiem for a Heavyweight is a great classic boxing movie that set the standard for a lot of movies to follow.
