Pretty significant size difference, Broner does look too big for the weight. Pretty incredible he can make 135. He looks like a 147 fighter. It makes me wonder where his weakness must be - either the legs or body.
Get the bodybag out for Rees. Saw his fights with Matthews; decent enough but not even close to world title-level. Broner staying busy and getting his name in the UK media while waiting for Ricky Burns to be ready, assuming he beats Vasquez (which ain't a given).
I'm still not so sure the bout will come off. I like Burns but am kind of expecting his people to price him out of the fight or something similar. No one is expecting Broner to stay at 135 for too much longer, and there's a lot of money to be made if Burns hangs onto the belt(s).
I'd like to see Broner go to the U.K. though. He's going to be a massive favorite over Ricky when the odds come out anyway.
After the passing tumbleweed had been cleared and publicity matters concluded, it appears that 'The Rock' had the last laugh as the fighters left the building - at least according to Rees' trainer, Gary Lockett.
So, after Adrien Broner disrespecting Gavin Rees in yesterdays Press Conference in New York, Lockett posted on his Facebook account, "my personal highlight was after the Presser, we were outside on the street and Broner has walked up to Gavin Rees and said 'you better be f**kin' ready Cabbage Rees'?
"Gav said 'go and pull your jeans from up around your ankles you f**king muppet' So Broner has not known what to say, then muttered 'gonna f**k you up', then, flustered, he has jumped into his chauffeur driven people carrier and dropped his phone on the pavement and smashed it!!!"
:lol1:
He absolutely was. He told RG to send him the contracts for the fight and he'd sign it. RG never sent them or we would be seeing RG vs Broner. RG is too scared.
Yeah just like Broner sent the contract to Billy Dib after all the sh1t he spewed over Twitter. And when Broner went AWOL when Vasquez called his bluff, Vasquez agrees to go to the U.K to fight Burns, suddenly Stevie Wonders lovechild reemerges and signs to fight Gavin ''King Kong'' Rees.
Robert Guerrero ducks and dodges nobody. Never has, never will.
The guys a proud Mexican warrior not some pampered wannabe who needs his daddy to hold his hand to the ring, brush his hair for him and wipe his ar5e after him.
Real telling that he aint this brave face to face with robert guerrero. LOL

So I guess Canelo should fight at 168 because he comes into the ring around there on fight night.....
Hey mathed, Broner is taking a stay busy fight with Rees, coming off beating the #1 fighter at 135. What's Canelo doing??? Hopefully he fights Trout.
This f**king site is full of morons with contradictions.
You better believe it. lol
Rees with Derry Mathews (5'8 and half)

Boxrec is wrong about Rees. I heard he's 5' 4".
Broner listed as 5'7"
Rees listed as 5'7"
Guerrero at 5'8"
In the video we can see that Ghost is about an inch or so taller than Broner...That makes Rees the lier because he actually looks about 5'5"..
I dont think 5'7" is a giant in the lightweight division and calling Broner a bully after he dispatched of 5'10" Demarco...Dumb on a priceless level.:duh:

He's big in the neck and shoulders for his size. If he can make 135, he's not too big for that weight. He doesn't even look all dehydrated either. Tyson had an even larger disparity in height against most of his opponents and noone ever said he was too small. Its the fighter, not size that counts. If Rees gets blown away, its because he's not nearly as good as Broner.
Gatti was on top back then so yeah he did fight top fighters back then... 147 & up he did cherry pick his way to "retirement".
Gatti was like 5 years past wash up when he fought Floyd

Beast at 140 :rofl: How? by beating Arturo Gatti?
The only fighter ranked higher than Gatti at the time was Tszyu, who was coming off an injury when Floyd went up to 140. Floyd openly voiced fighting Tszyu-Hatton winner, and Tszyu lost. End of story.
