    Andy Lee knew he was in trouble going to the 10th and final round of his middleweight fight with Craig McEwan on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Arena at the Foxwoods Resort Casino.

    His answer? To score a booming knockout in the top undercard bout on the show headlined by middleweight champ Sergio Martinez's title defense against junior middleweight titlist Sergiy Dzinziruk.

    With a strong contingent of Irish supporters cheering him on, Lee rallied in the ninth to drop McEwan, a native of Scotland living in Los Angeles, late in the round.

    McEwan, bleeding from a small cut by his left eye, survived, but not for long. He looked gassed as the 10th began and Lee went at him. Lee landed a tremendous left hand, McEwan dropped to his knees in bad shape and referee Steve Smoger called it off at 56 seconds.
