It’s been an intriguing couple of weeks at the title level.
The pre-fight report card for Adrien Broner-Gavin Rees predicted the fight looked “like an appearance, will play out as a showcase, and likely end with a stoppage sometime between the sixth and eighth rounds.”
Rees almost got to the sixth round.
Rees, a former titlist at 140 lbs., showed up to fight on Saturday and gave it all he had. It wasn’t enough. No one expected it to be. It still ended up more fight than showcase by the end because Rees fought like he wanted to win.
Broner did too and the gap in talent was far too much. Broner has become boxing’s clown prince of petulance outside the ring and, given to showboating, often in the ring as well. Over the next couple years, we will see if he can also fulfill what many think will be a career worthy of a king.
