Andy Lee finally getting his prized title shot made the most of it & thrilled the fans @ the National Stadium in Dublin, Ireland with a 1 punch uppercut KO of Harry Simon.

Simon won the vacant WBO belt with a 13th round TKO in a brutal fight vs. Mexican hard man, Marco Antonio Rubio in May.

Lee, 12 years the junior of the champ, made Simon look old by landing 50% of his punches to only 17% for Simon. With the win, Lee improves to 17-0-1 & Simon falls to 16-2 @ 160. His other loss @ MW was last year when he lost his IBF MW belt to Sebastian Sylvester by 15UD.

The loss also ruined Simon's plans to fight Miguel Cotto in Dec for Cotto's WBA JMW belt.

Edit: I just realized fighting Marco Antonio Rubio in my Uni is tough, even if you win. Simon beat Rubio as you see above & then lost vs. Lee. Danny Jacobs was able to retain his IBO belt vs. Rubio in Feb by a DQ (even though Rubio was winning) & then Jacobs lost his belt in his next fight vs. Jesus Gonzalez via a 6th round beatdown KO.

Fighting/beating Rubio takes something out of fighters.
