Gavin Rees v Adrien Broner oh yes

[palmerq]

maybe broner is getting ready to fight ricky burns.... fighting mr rees to become better known in the uk to build upa fight with burns....if that is his plan it probably would have been better if he were to come to blighty for this fight.. boxrec says it is scheduled for new jersey ...

[IamInuit]

Ricky Burns would probably fight Broner next week if it was up to him. I don't think his team will go anywhere near Broner personally but getting the Uk interest for a possible Burns showdown is an interesting angle. Broner wont have a size advantage on Burns which he has had so far. Both men especially Ricky fought much higher then lightweight earlier. Both are somewhat of an anomaly in that regard.

I think Burns would be making a mistake to fight Broner in the USA, where the officials will do all they can to help a Golden Boy/Al Haymon HBO star fighter.

However if Broner were willing to come to the UK where there would be fair officiating, Burns would have a very good chance of beating him.

There's no good reason to have the fight in the US, because Broner isn't a draw there, while Burns is very popular in Scotland and the fight would attract a good crowd. And it would be a good one to show in prime UK time on BoxNation. British boxers shouldn't cater to the wishes of the American networks and promoters.

Please, home-cooking is not an American phenomenon. Broner was Ricky's mandatory at 130 and the Burns camp went to 135 rather then face him. Broner is not a draw in the States? He's being billed as Floyds heir apparent. Tell me please how Burns dissuades the Broner mule kicks from either hand? Regardless of geography.

Crazy talk.

Broner not a draw in the states?!

Broner needs to fight atleast four times this year..needs to keep busy.

I think this is going to go down as the latest of a long run of British fighters who have gone over for a big fight in the states, and will prove themselves to be exceptionally tough but ultimately fall short in the final reckoning.

I see Rees probably getting stopped on his feet in rounds 10-12. Wouldn't be surprised if it goes to the cards, and we see something along the lines of 120-108 x3.

[Dia bando]

You would have to say Broner is the overwhelming favourite in this fight, Rees could pull off a upset
but very unlikely Rees is probable past his best.! I hope he gets a good pay day, as he may take a beating
well good luck to Gavin he needs it.

Tough, big heart, warrior.......... That takes a pounding!

We are due a Brit abroad upset though, can't actually remember the last genuine upset on away soil.

I was convinced Rendall Munroe would do it in Asia, but that was years ago and didn't happen.

If Brook beats Alexander it would be a shock to most the world.

I like gavin hes a good little fighter but unfortunaetly hes fighting a future superstar. 4-6 reese gets stopped. Good luck though broner is only a man at the end of the day.

Broner has a great future if he can stay composed.
I think we will all enjoy his rise to the top if his opponents keep improving.
