Rees gave it a go, gutsy kid. Totally disagree with what Enzo Calzaghe said and knew it was over when Rees stood in front of him and abandoned his movement though he still had good success and was making Broner miss a lot due to his tiny stature. It was only a matter of time.
I do feel the ref was totally against Rees but it wouldn't of changed the outcome.
I'm still not sold on Broner as a fighter though admittedly this fight was never going to persuade me.
I think Burns & Vasquez could give him problems with their movement but neither guy can crack an egg. I'll wait for him to move up to 140..

You mean to tell me he's the same fighter he fought Quintero?
Listen, I'm not sold on Broner yet either but he's clearly improved a lot in the last few years.

He wanted Burns, which would have been another top fight.
It's clear as day he's improving and rapidly.

Rees was a ****ty stay busy fight and hell he actually showed up you should be happy. Can't cry about Broner taking punches when trying to be entertaining then cry when fighters are defense first and not taking chances.
