Can Gavin Rees make Broner Jeff Lacy II?

If you're only getting 10/1 on him then you may want to take a look around and see what the other bookies are offering. I heard talk that the bookies over in the states have him anywhere up to an 33/1 outsider, but I doubt you'll get that from the bookies over here.

About 15/1 is the best I can find with a cursory glance on oddschecker.

I'd much rather see a Kostya on Judah chicken dance but it won't happen Im afraid.

Besides Broner might actually enjoy the simulated Brokeback Mountain moment Joe has pulled and who needs that

Yea was 19/1 with Pinnacle but money will come for him in Britain and will shorten the odds. If u had to have a bet and don't like short prices I'd take Broner on points at 13/2 instead of Rees to win. Personally I'm staying clear as I reckon it will be a first half stoppage and odds no goo here

The ONLY similarities are that Rees is from Wales and Broner is from the US. For a better comparison with a Welshman fighting an American, look no further than when Gary Lockett made the trip over to face Kelly Pavlik in 2008, and Kelly Pavlik blew him out of the water in three rounds. Like his trainer was when he faced the Ghost from Youngstown, Lockett, Rees is a good domestic-level pug, facing a world-level talent in Broner. The sole reason this fight is getting attention at all is because Broner is in it. Otherwise, it belongs on ESPN FNF. It's a total mismatch. It won't go more than 4 rounds. Mark my words.

Please don't take that as any disrespect for Rees. Credit to him. He's coming to the USA to fight a p4p-type fighter. He also seems like a good dude and hopefully he makes a pretty penny for this fight.

Not a good comparison because he lost. Idiot.

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!

[p4pking]

Hah, what a thread. Rees will be the stronger man, Ross are you high? This fight will be over whenever Broner wants it to be the way I see it, and I think he's a turd as well.

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.

Broner has had it drummed in to his head with fans, media and odds makers telling him this is a complete walkover and he will destroy Rees very quickly. If he has taken any of that in he will be in for a surprise that Rees will be able to push him back.

[Domiko]

Said it earlier broner will take him out in 4 or 6

[Britkid]

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.

[imp]

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.

[Domiko]

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.

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.

Rees was game last night. Good for him. He had the strategy to beat Broner, and lost only on talent. He won the first two rounds on my card.

However, the comparison with Lockett and Pavlik was spot on.
