Also, Rees wan a world title. He has been world class. Lockett never was and whereas Rees has moved down after winning a world title, Lockett had moved up from light middle. Rees will not be the weeker man. He mit be smaller but Broner will be surprised at Rees strength!Quote:

Said it earlier broner will take him out in 4 or 6
Broner maybe Jeff Lacy II, time will tell. Sadly though, I doubt Rees is Calzaghe II, but instead, more like Reid II...
Hope I am wrong, but I am taking Broner in a mid to late round stoppage, with Rees bravely going out on his shield.
Broner is following floyd footsteps but still has not had as much tough competition yet but he is making the right waves.
Hes a young guy with skills that are improving..whats not to like?
Theres no need in getting wound up over his stupid, arrogant attitude as its just hype.
Broner out boxes rees and mid 2014 he will be a strong contender in the 140 divison.
I didnt say Rees will be stronger, just that he wont be weaker. Not like an ex light middle Lockett moving up to fight a very strong Natural middle Pavlik.Quote:

Ross made a decent point locket was a too small at least reese is at the right weight. Broner is a hype machine but you dont get as good as him by taking things lightly, his team have watched reese even though they r pretending they havent. Its bad news for the rock.
I don't give Rees any chance at all, but he comes to fight so this should be interesting while it lasts. Gavin will put everything he's got into this and could potentially give Broner a few uncomfortable moments, but that's about it.
Rees probably gets stopped on his feet in the middle to late rounds.
Broner is no Lacy and will not be a Jeff Lacy. Broner has that born with talent that was not developed by anyone but himself. Yes he's a twat but he's also a kind of hybrid. A subtle mixture of Benton, Floyd and Burley. Lacy was a one dimensional hooker and the only reason he had the success he did is because his opponents broke a cardinal rule which is never hook with a hooker.Quote:

FTR there is a part of me actually cheering for Gavin because of the odds and the way he has been written off as some domestic unworthy of the task.
Possibly; but who is to say that hindsight may show it was a mixture of Benton's power, Floyd Snr's drug habit and Burley's political connections?Quote:

How is the Lacy/Calzaghe fight even come close to this style wise or any other wise?Quote:

Here is mine. Bentons shoulder roll defense combined with Floyd Jr's counter punching with mule kick power from either side on a Burley seek and destroy mission.

Years of hindsight? I followed both of their careers in real time. I knew Joe would make him his chamber maid. How was Lacy a hybrid?
All I know is that if I hear Lampley lament Broner as the next coming of any proven and completed ATG and not simply a talented world champion with very high potential my TV is at risk ;D.
HBO and hysteria/hype run rampant sometimes. Respects to Rees but this showcase is here to make it all the more easier and common.
Dream on Ross, this will be a mismatch and 'showcase' fight for little Boner, I doubt that it will go more then 5 rounds, sorry bro, but as the Fenster might say, that's a fact Jack.Quote:

Rees won't make Broner look like Lacy, it'll be the other way round.
