Can Rees pull a Calzaghe-Lacy type upset on Broner, or is at even fight, or mismatch?

Broner should take this with 4

if Rees lands, Broner smiles and rips Rees to head and body. Yup I agree. Broner better win, if he doesnt im going to be a right cunt about it.

I think the best to be expected from Rees is a UD loss with him winning a few rounds on the way.

Why is everyone acting so stupid when it coes to this fight? How many threads do we need reminding us what EVERYONE knows Rees is overmatched. Its a stay busy. The hell is wrong with people. Be careful pal, its still a fight, and if Rees lands ill haunt you hahahhaahaha

That's crazy....I remember I had a poker game at my house and 10 other guys all put money on Lacy, I cleaned up that night. ok well i'm talking official money line odds from vegas etc..yeah there's anecdotal evidence that a lot of people wanted lacy to win but the actual odds were even.

A Rees win is possible but highly unlikely. I would call it a mismatch but I don't blame Broner for taking the fight. Some of the other top lightweights already had fights and Rees is in the top ten. The lightweights are sort of weak right now and Broner stands out as the best. April and Bogere would give Broner some competition but they are fighting each other and the same goes for Burns and Vazquez.

the actual odds were almost dead even. when money was on the line people didn't trust lacy or calzaghe since both were unproven. That's crazy....I remember I had a poker game at my house and 10 other guys all put money on Lacy, I cleaned up that night.

Americans are the worst for overhyping their guys

Calzaghe had Lacy beaten after Round 1. If you watch it, Joe celebrates the victory at the end of the round.

Must of been why he was a MASSIVE favorite to not only win but win by KO right? Here is a link to the BoxingScene staff predictions thread for that fight. Nearly everyone picked Lacy to destroy Calzaghe before the fight. http://www.boxingscene.com/boxingscene-staff-predictions-jeff-lacy-vs-joe-calzaghe--3266 the actual odds were almost dead even. when money was on the line people didn't trust lacy or calzaghe since both were unproven.

Rees is a tough and skilled fighter. This will be a tough test.

The fight is a mismatch but with the right gameplan and Broner underestimating Rees and having an off-night, who knows? Broner is overrated. He is a little version of Berto. Good upperbody movement, good combinations, hes quite explosive inside but his footwork is absolutely sh1t. It is not me hating, I am just telling it how it is. Watch his fights, the man has two punches. Left hook, right uppercut. Just like Berto. Another top heavy American HBO hypejob. If that is a top p4p fighter and the future of boxing, I need to find a new sport. I agree Broner does have flaws but he's definitely better than Berto. He atleast has a style and some form of defense, and some form of skill. Berto has nothing but speed and power. I think Broner will have a lot of trouble against a pressure fighter. Matthysee would give him all kinds of trouble IMO.

This fight is a mismatch. Rees has a very little chance to win this fight. I am more interested in the co feature fight.

Slapsie vs. Jeff "LOL" Lacy was only an "upset" in the bizarro world that is NSB. Anyone with half an ounce of sense could see that Lacy was a slow, wild swinger and an accident waiting to happen.

Broner will totally outclass Rees , and Lacy is not 1/2 of what Broner is .

Rees will be Broner's kryptonite, Hamed's Barrera, Pacquiao's Marquez, Lacy's Calzaghe, Hatton's Cortez. Watch.

You never look past your current opponent, Rees has nothing to lose because nearly nobody expects him to win so the pressure is on Broner to knock him out. If it goes to a decision then it will hurt Broner hard even if he wins every round.

Rees would be the first man to admit he's no Joe Calzaghe.....they are both Welsh fighting men, but the similarities end right there. I am expecting Gav to give Broner more of a fight than most people seem to believe he's capable off. Rees is short, built like a brick ****house, has fast and reasonably heavy hands and will come into the fight with the right attitude and in-shape. He's quit drinking and taking his diet seriously. So I am expecting Broner to cop a few proper shots and have to dig a bit deeper than before to get this win. Rees will go out on his shield but not before Broner learns that any fight against a Welshman is a hard fight. Tommy Farr v Joe Louis rather than Calzaghe v Lacy methinks.

LMAO at the TS, please delete this shit!! :rofl: exactly my thoughts
