I've been telling people all week that M'baye fluked a world title, and that he was just an average counter fighter, but from what I've heard he was almost embarrassing in there. Again, I think Rees isn't really a natural light-welter, being a bit too small for it, but he's showed enough to win, and it is a legit WBA title after all....so no Warren's Boxing Organisation digs on this one. ;)Quote:

Did'nt like his piss taking at the end no need for it poor atitude to have does'nt win you friends, but he won, and good look i think he may need it.
Mbaye was a disgrace i dont think he is elite or anything but i saw him against the Argentinian boxer a couple of fights back and he looked ok, but tonight? What was that?Quote:

To be honest with you, M'baye just didn't show up for the fight looking at the highlights, and quite simply since winning the belt he has done nothing to prove that he deserves to be the champion. He was lucky to hang on to the belt against Kotelnik, and losing tonight was not a surprise to me, whatever everyone else thinks.
I was quite clear from very early on that M'Baye didnt have a clue what to do with Rees. That could have gone on for twenty rounds and he wouldnt have been any closer to winning. Absolutely terrible showing, no clue, no bollocks, and no belt.

Just saw on boxingtalk, Gavin Rees' record is 27-0 with.....wait for it...........0 KO's!!!!!!! :o
According to boxingtalk historians are now going through the archives to check if he is unique.
It appears that he's the first and ONLY fighter in the history of boxing to win a world title having never stopped a single opponent in his entire career.
This guy makes Sergio Mora and Paulie Malignaggi look like bangers :-\
Well done little guy any how, you won't be champ for long but at least you did it.
M'Baye...........give it up mate.
He doesn't have any KO's but he does have 13 TKO's.
yes rees really does punch like a MULE ;D a dead 1 :)
Ah just checked his boxrec record, well surely that counts as 13 KO's ???Quote:

How misleading and unfair, ih he's got 13 tko's then he has 13 ko's imo
I wouldn't have posted it if I would have known that. What a misleading shitty piece of journalistic sleight of hand that was by BoxingTalk, a :sadclick: to them
The article was written by a Scot Shaffer, who from now shall be known as douchebag >:mad
WOW............ WBA ! 1 of Warrens fighters actually has a REAL world title belt !!!!!! i thought id seen everything ;D
wot next , Warren to keep his word in the future ? scary stuff lol ;D ;D ;D
Well done to Rees and all, but this just goes to show that boxing at the minute isn't working. You've got Gavin Rees with a "respected" version of a world title, and you've got Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton without. Luckily the boxing community successfully crowns their own champions, it's a shame the officials can't do the same.
When Gavin Rees was ducking down Mbaye would have had to punch about the same height as his knees. He was clueless yesterday and even when Rees would skip back to take a breather Mbaye never pressed the action.
He got what he deserved tonight and goes him without his title.
Yeah I read that article yesterday also. I just so happened to remember watching a fight Rees got a TKO in and I was thinking "are they talking about a different Gavin Rees?" Checked out boxrec and saw he had 13 TKO's. It seems someone did some fact checking because they have changed it now.Quote:
