Comments Thread For: Richard Abril-Gavin Rees Agreement Reached For The Fall

Nah man, Campillo is undisputed in that regard, he was robbed out of clear victory 4 times and other 3 times that he was given the decision judges made it ridiculously close.

I agree, Mastrangelo. And Glenn Johnson can win the silver medal.

The worst possible opponent for Rees sure?

Managed to find the tallest bloke in the division. I actually think Rees might beat Burns and Mitchell.

Well Abril holds the title for the most fights robbed from him. So I expect another robbery.

The only thing Abril holds the title for is excessively holding in the ring, the guys holds constantly like a *****!, not wanting to get ****d! A person with good defense is Floyed Mayweather, he doesn't hold guys arms like Abril dose, that's called excessive and illegal holding what Abril dose in that ring.

I like Rees..tough guy, decent fighter. I think Abril wins this fight but its a good chance for Rees to step up and show what he can do.
He's been around awhile and been in some good fights so i think he deserves a shot like this.

Can you tell me where this myth of Abril excessively holds comes from? After seeing majority of his fights I can safely say he doesn't hold often/at all.
It seems to of came from sore Brandon Rios fans trying to save face, if anybody was holding it was actually Rios, Abril often stood infront of him using a shell defense (Rios couldn't land ****)
He outboxed Rios & beat the **** out of him in the pocket. It was a masterclass. A punch perfect boxing lesson.

Google ''Rios vs Abril'' all I see is Abril slapping the **** out of him & Rios holding on for dear life.

Thank you. Perfectly stated.

Abril made Rios look like an incompetent caveman.

Abril made Rios look like a goddamned amateur.

If he gets robbed again that'll be some kind of travesty. I really do hope he's able to stop Rees in order to secure the win. Abril has got talent real talent, and if he were a bigger puncher he'd be even more dangerous than he is. He's dangerous now, but you can rob him.

Over Campillo?

I just knew that Brandon "Bum Bum" Rios was not going to rematch Abril, even though he was willing to come up to 140 or 147 to do it. Oh well, at least Abril is still champion and getting another opportunity to show how good he is by fighting in the UK. I'm expecting this to look like the Kotelnik-Rees fight. I think Abril will just be too big, skillful and have too much in his arsenal for Rees to cope. As for people saying he's going to get robbed because it's in the UK. You people are ridiculous, and I love boxing in many countries so this is not a racial statement, but I have seen far more bad/controversial decisions in America than in any other country.

reese sucks and abril will shut him out

the fight will be terribly boring to the layman
