Originally posted by The Smash View PostThe fight is a total mismatch, so people are right to complain. There is no area, aside from experience, in which Rees even comes close to Broner. If GB are going to tell us that Broner is the #6 fighter in the world P4P, then they should expect people to get knee deep in their shit when they put him in with a European level fighter.

Because the better fight weren't able to be made he should jump up 10 extra pounds in a year. The biggest complaint about Floyd is that he didn't clean out divisions along the way. Now his protege' is doing just that apparently and that's a problem? What's the problem really? Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. Damnit why isn't he fighting Canelo in May? He needs an opponent. I'm outraged.LOL

I don't see what Floyd has to do with any of the points I made, if you wish to talk about him that's fine, but bringing him up to counter points I haven't made just showcases the extent of your neurosis.
The problem is pretty simple really; Gavin Rees is a vastly inferior fighter to Adrien Broner. It is a mismatch. Adrien Broner is ranked the number 6 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, according to Golden Boy(The Ring). If he is that, then he should be expected to take on challenges in keeping with that ranking, which Gavin Rees falls desperately short of.

Rees is strangely the highest ranked LW available at the moment for Broner.
More of a testament to the weakness of the division.
Rees is a decent opponent, at best.

It's a level where people fight for the "European title".
Just as "World level" is when you fight for the World title I.e The top 10 Ranked fighters are considered world level.
Just as "Domestic level" is when people fight for the "British Title".
These are all different levels.
And despite the fact Rees has been a Euro level fighter for a large portion of his career I would say it's abit harsh to consider him a Euro level fighter as he's a former World Champion and a Top 10 ranked LW.
An example of a Euro Level fighter is Darren Barker, for example. Who has only ever had one fight above domestic level and looked dead average (At Euro level). Other than his fight with Martinez.
