On the Haye undercard
Good fight. I think Rees stops him
What! no Anthony Crolla/Derry Mathews pt 3?
Not yet, Mathews is fighting somebody else as well. I can't remember who that is though off the top of my head. I Saw who it was on boxingscene the other day but it's not in boxrec yet.Quote:

Stupid really because I'm sure Mathews could have had home advantage against Crolla, but he's fighting in Coyle's backyard instead.Quote:

I'm surprised at this being on the Haye undercard as Matchroom had planned to do a Rees & Selby double in Wales. I think the lack of dates from Sky screwed that up.
After the last bout talk at ringside from both fighters sounded like part 3 was a done deal.Quote:

Derry Mathews denies Anthony Crolla a third fight - SportsNewsIRELAND
Rees should have retired after Broner, he's never going to get another world title, and he should only want to be fighting for big titles now.
IMO Rees was never on the world level, hes a good fighter but he wouldnt beat Broner...ever. Rees should not retire, he should fight at domestic/euro level where he performs and get wins. I think Rees is better than Crolla and he will prove that in this fight, however this is the best matchup for Crolla though, if he can win he goes places, if he loses he will be the same as derry, who is not good enough for the euro level (i hate to say it cos i love derry) but thats the way it is.Quote:
