In the UK? This boy getting robbed again.

Should be an easy win for Abril. Not to take anything away from Rees, he's a decent fighter, he's tough, has a lot of heart but Abril is simply on another level, and showed that he is legitimate world class when he beat Rios. Yes, I said BEAT Rios, because that's what he did, that was literally the worst robbery I've EVER seen. Hopefully, Abril doesn't get robbed over in the UK either.

Although, it wouldn't surprise me if he stops Rees, due to the fact Abril hits harder then advertised, and Rees not only has a bit of a suspect chin, but very poor defense. Decent fight though.

And he better do so, T. This guy Abril is too good a kid and too good a boxer to keep getting shafted in this sport. I'd hate to see another travesty.

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

All those talking about robberies are clueless.



I expect Abril to stop him near the middle rounds after a good performance. Hopefully the undercard features some good fights too.
