Amir Khan will fight Gavin Rees on June 21st
BBC SPORT | Boxing | Khan lines up former champ Rees
Should be a decent fight. Rees will be in way over his head, literally, but I think he has enough heart and courage to make it an entertaining fight for a few rounds.
I'm curious to see how Khan does being trainined by Dean Powell rather than Oliver Hasrrison as well

Another feather fisted fighter :rolleyes:
Re: Amir Khan will fight Gavin Rees on June 21st
Actually it doesn't say that.. Rees, Gomez or Burns.
Rees is to big. (do not even dare go there ;))
Gomez is a nutter.
Burns can't break eggs.
Who will it be? :-\
Re: Amir Khan will fight Gavin Rees on June 21st
Rees would make a credible opponent. Gavin himself will be better suited for lightweight and I'd expect him to go the distance with Khan.
Re: Amir Khan will fight Gavin Rees on June 21st
For me, this is probably one fight too late for Khan, with the former title holder meant to be the title holder when he fought Khan. Unfortunately Kotelnik scuppered the Frank Warren machinations and meant he'll actually have to get Khan fighting a real world champ instead. I don't think Khan will be too worried about the step up in weight, if it is at LWW, and he ought to make fairly short work of Rees if he wants to be ranked among the best in the world.

I'm sure the plans were to get a shot at a lightweight title first. Don't think Khan has enough pop yet to be good at LWW. Then again, they may have planned to get the title and move straight back down, claiming to be a two weight champion .

Obviously I'm missing something, but Gavin Rees is a tiny 140 pounder, he looks like he could cut a good amount of weight and even make 130. Khan is a good sized lightweight, much taller than Rees with reach on him. What's the joke?

Rees hasn't been confirmed as the opponent. Rees is an option alongside Gomez and Burns.
The joke is Team Khan possibly considering Rees as too big considering he's a fat 140lb midget.
(I can't believe you made me explain that man :-\)

Hah sorry, guess I'm just not as familiar with the way Khan has been handled so much.. He has been in with a lot of small guys without power lately. Just the way you put don't go there in brackets confused me heh.
Re: Amir Khan will fight Gavin Rees on June 21st
Rees is garbage. Always has been. I expect Con to crush him
Re: Amir Khan will fight Gavin Rees on June 21st

Rees was never going to be a great champ, even I would never have said that, but he beat a lazy champion, and has been a WBA champion, and no one can take that away from him. Not even an arse-kicking from Amir Khan.

Yeah. He also had injuries in those body parts. He could reinjure them.
