Yuba City-born, La Quinta, California-based super lightweight defeated his opponent from Guaymas, Mexico by unanimous decision. After ten rounds the scores were 97-93, 99-91 and 98-92.
“This is boxing, it’s all about who has more effective punches,” said Lee. “Look at his face, look at mine. I felt I was more accurate and landed harder shots. Pedro Campa is a true Mexican veteran and he came to fight.”
“My performance was great in the first five rounds and then I slowed down and that’s when he started to come on. That’s a veteran thing to do. I learned that I’m going to have to pace myself in these kinds of fights, to realize we’re going 10 rounds and soon to be 12 rounds and don’t change up the game plan.”
“I would love another opponent like Pedro Campa, someone who’s strong and I’d love to continue developing how I am now.”
“I thought I won the fight,” said Campa. “I felt I was pressuring him the whole fight. There were some instances when he had the pressure, and that’s when I felt a little bit not in control.”
“The fans started cheering for me once they saw my Mexican-style way of bringing pressure. Always moving forward. They were seeing the damage I was inflicting with my punches.”
“Now it’s time to rest, be with family and see what’s next. I have too much heart and I know that I can put on a show anywhere, anytime.”
In Australia, the event aired live on Sunday, April 9.
