Can Gavin Rees make Broner Jeff Lacy II?

[Rantcatrat]

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.

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.

You got your prediction wrong by less than a round too. 'Idiot'.
