Comments Thread For: Broner Punishes a Very Game Rees For TKO Win

BIGPOPPAPUMP

Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City - Adrien Broner (26-0, 22KOs) stopped Gavin Rees (37-2-1, 18KOs) in the fifth round to retain his WBC lightweight crown. Rees did well in the first two rounds, and may have won them, but then Broner opened up in the third with hard punches and then dropped Rees hard in the following round with an uppercut and then punished him. In the fifth, Broner scored a knockdown with a hook to the body. As Broner started letting his hands go, trainer Gary Lockett saved Rees by throwing in the towel.

Broner's going to be exciting at 140, BUT, he's going to get hurt. Gets hit too much.

Did what he was supposed to do.

I wouldn't say overrated, but his style won't suit him for JWW, and WW.

What helped Broner without doubt was his reach, had Rees being a half inch taller it would be a more competitive fight, Broner gets hits a lot, Would like to see Gamboa vs Broner.
The fight should not been stopped , I think Rees could have fought a little longer.
Broner not in the same level as his master.

curious to see if he can do that against people his own size

Borner cant fight like this in higher weight class he would get killed, hes still young, still room for improvement.

Loved seeing a no-hoper land big shots on Broner. The thing is here's a no-hoper and he's still landing punishing shots on an over rated thug. Funny.
