This is such a weird thing to have happened. This has been all over NFL programming this weekend, and for the few who pay attention, I wonder if they have sought out information on Mike Lee? He's far from a mainstream name -- hell, he's far from a boxing name. He's a novice prospect with Notre Dame ties and Top Rank promotion.
Boxing fans, of course, are wondering exactly why Top Rank is pushing Lee so hard. Either it's because they see more in his talent than a lot of us do, or it's because he's a well-spoken white American with a good look. Hey, I'm not trying to be "controversial" when I say that, but he's a clean cut Notre Dame graduate who gives a good interview and doesn't seem to have an ego problem.
Of course we'll see how that ego thing turns out since he's getting Subway commercials alongside Justin Tuck, Ryan Howard, and Michael Strahan before anyone really knows who he is or before he's fought so much as a respectable fighter.
Still, again -- congratulations to Mike Lee and his promotional team. They're doing a fine job getting him out there.

He’s solid, but I just don’t see him getting more than a charity title shot someday at the very most. He has no outstanding skills, IMO. Nice guy, though. I maintain he’ll someday be a major asset in the Top Rank office.

ill say this
i saw the commercial.. and had no clue who he was.. thought he was an actor in boxing “attire” until i remembered the post about this last week
its a lil odd at this point in time to see an actual boxer on a commercial for something other then their fights (other than floyd and manny)
good for him tho

I don’t think you’re being controversial by suggesting that he’s gotten this commercial because he’s a white, eloquent boxer. I’m guessing the fact that he’s from Notre Dame helps as well. I’m pretty sure those ARE the reasons. There is really nothing in his record or short career to suggest he deserves this treatment.
On another note, is there such a thing as NCAA boxing? I’ve never heard of that.
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
Yes, there is.
It’s not well known nor widespread, but yes.

Wow, is it part of the amateur boxing system? Do they compete against Olympians? How does this work?

Ah, it seems, technically, it’s not the NCAA anymore. It’s something called the NCBA: http://www.intercollegiateboxing.com/2011/01/ncaa-champion-boxing-teams.html

I heard they wanted James Toney....
But he chose to fight Lebedev rather than subject himself to a 6 month diet of veggie subs!
