looks like it'll be Gavin Rees facing Adrien Broner on Feb 16th on HBO

[MVOLT]

this is a bad match up............

[Mr. Philadel]

Gavin Rees is gonna get beat up...nice stay busy fight for Broner

[Godsfly]

you guys are laughing but this would be a tune up fight for a may 4th bout.

the only reason this fight would happen is because broner doesn't want to sit out all the way till may 4th.

box rec has broner fighting 2 times.

one time on feb & then another time on may 4th......

this is a tune up. a stay busy fight.........i don't see the outrage

Hopefully you're right and the choice of a British opponent is a prelude to Broner-Burns in May.

[ShoulderRoll]

I was hoping if Burns wasn't going to fight Broner in February, that he and Rees would fight instead.

Why not Miguel Vasquez vs. Ricky Burns? Would Burns be afraid of him too?

[Angry Cuban]

Respect to Gavin Rees for taking this opportunity unlike his cowardly countryman Ricky Burns.

Everybody want to fight broner @ 135...vasquez call him out..abril is tired to call him..but he chose Rees...Gavin is not bad...

[WarMaidana]

what a joke... broner needs to start taking on some real oppostion, if he cant get any fights at 135 go straight to 140, he isn't too smll, but he loves to bully the small fighters and is scared of all the mexicans in that divison

[doninlouisiana]

Rees has no chance whatsoever.

Broner is having trouble making 135, he should go up to 140.

Lots of good fights in that weight division: Rios, JMM, Matthysse, Peterson, Garcia, etc.

Matthysse would stop the hype that is Broner very quickly. (Within 6 rds)

As for Rees, that won't even be worth turning HBO on for.

All those fights you mentioned aside from Arce were either for a title or other form of distinction.

If this happens to be a stay busy fight, then there is nothing wrong in it.

Arce and Vazquez were sh-tty fights. Vazquez just came off a TKO loss to Arce. Then Arce nearly got knocked out by that kid Rojas, he was saved because Rojas fouled him after hurting him. But he had him hurt badly.

Mathebula who was ranked #7 was the best fighter Donaire fought.

In the end, he fought two fighters who retired right after the fight, and one fighter who had just come off a TKO loss.

Only a s**t poster would leave a comment like that. Matthysse is a good fighter, but he's no where near Broners level.
