I think people have to give Rees his dues, he's fast, awkward, decent reflexes, very good work rate, people already quick to say he's rubbish,
and i think thats very unfair, give the kid a chance, he has just proved everyone wrong tonight, and i think whoever said he's a poor mans hatton is right, very similar, a little bit more flashy, but good comparison.

I'm sure Rees could make 135 if he tried. But fair play he got his opportunity at the higher weight and took it. I can't see him beating many in the world top 10 mind you. He's just too small for the division.

Just reading what people were saying about the Arthur fight. Was he a good distance ahead at the time of the stoppage?

Slightly ahead because of 2 knockdowns the first of which was definitely a slip, and a point deduction for Gogoladze for use of the head.

Allrite Jock Mcscott!! Why you not watched it??

Yeah, well up, two 'knockdowns' and a point taken off Koba for a headbutt

And for that reason, and that reason alone... I don't think he would beat many in the domestic top 10. He wouldn't hurt the likes of Lynes, Daws, Morrison, Mutley etc and utlimately I think they would try a bit more than Mbaye

At Lightweight - would be a different story. He is a quality fighter as Boxing Gloves states.

He should be a Super Feather though.[/b]

Nice to see the Sports Network house ref looking after the big fight. :o

allegedly's running of the sport is reminiscent of a wrestling story line with Mickey Van as his own ref and that

First 2 rounds to Enzo here. This one is warming up nicely!

Any time Braithwaite looks to counter you get a feeling of danger. He certainly looks in the mood for a fight.

Enzo looks class when attacking but is walking back in str8 lines with his chin when he is backed up

3 round to 1 for Enzo...

Great start by Enzo - lovely jab and he's starting to bring the uppercut into play as his big rights are sailing over the top, but Duke's spot-on regarding the way he's hanging his chin out to dry at some points. He's also moving back in straight lines as he's doing so, which makes me nervous!

Enzo looks pretty vulnerable but won the first 3 rounds for me. That fourth was about even. Good fight!

Get in! C'mon Enzo. Saved by the bell

Great shot form Maccarinelli there! He was losing that round then too. Come on Enzo!

No worries mate..

With Jirov coming back down there could be some exciting fights ahead...

Jesus what an uppercut. Braithwaite has a hell of a chin no question about that he has taken some huge shots tonight so far.

Macc has been excellent so far... The jab has arrived in his arsenal.

However, getting tired... Braithwaite looks fresher.

Round 8. Unless David Haye fought a punch perfect fight, I don't think he could last versus Braithwaite.

Still, if Haye wins he is the man at Cruiser
