Why is Adrian Broner fighting Rees???

[MJ223]

SMH. **sighs**. Let's see.....

Ring Magazine Lightweight Ratings:

1. Adrien Broner
2. Miguel Vasquez - Option #1 Was offered the fight in November but turned down $350,000. Don't know what the issue is now though.
3. Antonio DeMarco - Already beat him
4. Ricky Burns - Turned the fight down and his promoter just wants to milk him
5. Richard Abril - Vacant title clash with Bogere is scheduled
6. Gavin Rees - Option #2
7. Sharif Bogere - Vacant title clash with Abril is scheduled
8. Kevin Mitchell - Just got ran through by Ricky Burns
9. Rey Beltran - Option #3
10. Daniel Estrada - Option #4


So we got Miguel Vasquez, Gavin Rees, Ray Beltran and Daniel Estrada as possible ranked opponents. What's the problem?

That was only from one side..... Haven't heard anything from the Vazquez side

Two sides to every story

Broner is a bum. Beating demarco (a punching bag) proves nothing. GAvin Rees is a bum too & I'm not suprised broner is fighting him.

He would get beat @ 140 by Lucas, Rios & especially Amir Khan.

You're a bum for these non-truths you speak. He's young ffs. Show me where you called Demarco a punching bag before the fight with AB and I definitely owe you a public apology.

Why didn't they offer Gamboa a fight? Broner was talking all that junk when Gamboa was inactive but now Gamboa is taking shots back and he's quiet.

Pretty sure most people will take unranked Gamboa over a ranked Rees...

Gamboa has done nothing at the weight..... Plus with his track record there is no guarantee he would've took the fight

Raise his UK profile????? Why? Is he planning on moving there for all the huge boxing shows they promote?? As for fighting Khan at 140lbs if Khan is still upright when Broner moves up I'm sure Khan can be accomodated. Then Broner has to be knocked for fighting a guy who can't break an egg!

Why not do something novel and kick back and watch this kid navigate through the lightweights then move up to the juniors. Then when he's a matured 25 yr old he could take on who ever is the top dog!! It might be him!

is Vazquez not with Zanfer?


did Zanfer enter some kind of deal with Top Rank as part of the switch that took Marquez away from his relationship with GBP?

Burns and Rees are nothing alike.



Burns and Litzau are not exactly alike, but they're closer stylistically than Burns and Rees.

Burns team folded over taxes

What track record? His contractual issues or were you blinded by Top Rank too?

What fight would you or most people want, whether he has done anything at the weight or not, Broner vs Rees or Broner vs Gamboa?

Broner or Rees, if you can fight you need to promote yourself here (States) not England!
