Rees is not good enough to even be a paper champ
Broner is fighting a guy the same size at 135 that nonito did at 118 and nowhere as good

possibly he could have fought Vazquez, but we do not know how feasible that fight really was. we can only speculate.

Rees is not a top 135 fighter either

Originally posted by S. Saddler 1310 View PostRees is not the same height as Broner, official stats be damned. but people are making much too big a deal of the height business. Rees being short shouldn't call into question his ability to compete with Broner, what should call it into question is that he's a UK domestic/EBU level fighter and little else above that. that said, it's a keep-busy fight. i will watch it to watch Broner do his thing.
My former English professor told me he's 6' tall. I told him straight up "No man, you're bull****ting, you can't be 6 feet tall". He has a hunched form of standing, so he stood up straight and it instantly showed his true height. It doesn't look like he walks too hunched, just a slight hunch made a big difference in his height.

Rees is a very good fighter... at UK domestic/EBU level. he's out of his league here. he is pure keep-busy fodder.

Rees is not a top 135 fighter either
