I think Gavin Rees may just cause an upset.....

[flatnoseflynn]

As I say you also must be easily impressed goodnight.

Broner is favourite, especially being the HBO darling , but he is more Jeff Lacy than Floyd Mayweather.

To write off The Rock is a mistake.

He isn't remotely phased by Broner, and Rees has a very unique but effective style. With those odds he has definitely worth a tenner.

Regardless, I will be cheering Gav on all the way.

Come on, Rees is British level at most. Rees might have won World and European belts doesn't make him World or European class.
World class management maybe? But nothing else. Not distrespectfull, good luck to him, just a fact.

actually it definately makes him Euro level at most, and Burns is world class, so that hardly makes Rees domestic level because Burns would beat him, and "fit" Mitchell or unfit Mitchell, Rees would do him. other than world class Ricky Burns and "well prepared Mitchell" you can't name anybody else? then that means if Rees isn't European class, then there is NOBODY at European class atm.

that's just silly

Sorry, but you are overating Rees he's just not that good IMO end of.

Have you understood that "Eurooean class" means he'd be competitive with the best in Europe? I think that's hard to deny. He'd lose to Burns, but would give him a hard night, and it's hard not to see him knocking out Mitchell. Is the issue that you don't know the other top European lightweights?

I'm a big fan of Gavin Rees and I hope he gives a good account of himself. However, in my eyes Broner is some way above Jeff Lacy. He's surprisingly difficult to hit despite standing right in front of his opponents and even when he does get clipped his chin seems sound. I can't see this going past six rounds but I hope Rees proves me wrong.

i think gavs squat stocky physique will actually be in his favour, if he gets his head on broners chest and windmills away broner may find it hard to hit him, gave has thick limbs and neck.

are you retarded or something? He's a former WORLD champion and holds the EBU lightweight title - He is the current EUROPEAN CHAMPION, its not a case of him impressing its a case of him being the European champion FACT as you like to say; how can he not be European class?

He may not be as good as he was bbut he obviously was euro and world level once surely to have held the belts.

[misterpunch]

What is clearly your opinion that he isn't 'European class' is somehow a 'fact'?

Erm, no it isn't.

It's a load of shite. In my opinion.

Well if thats "European class" then British fighters are in trouble.

[flatnoseflynn]

Call me crazy but I have strange feeling he could cause a huge upset here.

If I was a betting man then I would definitely put £20 on a Rees win!

Hello "Crazy"

Classy.

Well done though. You predicted that the overwhelming favourite would win, hats off to you.

Yes. Rees is European class. Broner is clearly above that. Is that so difficult for you to understand, troll?

i wonder if you actually watched the fight.

[Ratchet Exits Nu]

No way the Americans will let Broner in a fight he might lose. They need a new moron for the suburbanites to unite behind…

you don't seem to know what european class means, are you telling me that guy Broner just had a good little scrap with was barely british level? in that case broner is the one whos in trouble

There weren't many domestic career super feathers that hadn't boxed at either that level or that weight that'd have done it though pal

[Hagler2002]

Barrera V's Paul Lloyd was an example of World level against British level.

Broner-Reece was nowhere near as bad as that.
