-Adrien Broner defended his WBC lightweight title and cruised against a spirited but outgunned Gavin Rees in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
+"I got reckless in the third and fourth rounds, and that was pretty much the end of it," Rees said. "I disagree with Gary pulling me out, but he knows I would have boxed on until I was knocked out cold. I was always going to get up. Quitting is not a part of my way of life."
-A single right uppercut put Rees on his back 55 seconds into Round 4. Rees was up at the count of five. Broner continued to pound away for the remainder of the round and, prior to the start of the fifth, Rees's trainer Gary Lockett suggested that they should stop the fight.
+For the fight, Broner landed 149 of 309 blows (48 percent). Rees was credited with landing 88 of 262 (34 percent). Even if Rees was disappointed by Lockett's intervention, a knockout seemed imminent -- it was only a matter of time.
-A left hand to the body in the final minute of Round 5 drew a grimace from Rees and sent him to a knee. Broner closed the round peppering Rees against the ropes, causing Lockett to come up on the ring apron and wave the towel.
+"We knew Gavin was going to come in, and I wanted Adrien to take his time and pick his punches," trainer Mike Stafford said. "We knew Gavin was going to be game but make mistakes. Adrien countered each mistake he made."
-Rees gave a good effort and looked to take the fight to Broner early, but could not match Broner's power and accuracy.
+"I'm disappointed with my performance," said Rees, who moved down in weight in 2010 and eventually won the European title. "I made a lot of mistakes. I think I have a better skill set than that. I didn't show it."
-== Notes ==
+Broner, a former junior lightweight titlist, moved up in weight in November and stopped Antonio DeMarco -- considered by many to be the top lightweight in the world going into the fight -- in the eighth round, also at Boardwalk Hall. Now a lightweight, Broner is running into the same issue he had at 130 pounds: a lack of significant opponents to face.
