FFS, how on earth did he get a world title eliminator with a guy 23-10-3....And as for Forbes, before he ended up on TV he was fighting guys with shitty records too, and with two defeats in his last three, maybe he shouldn't be getting a shot either.

Rees was lucky to get his shot, but if you refuse to overlook form with Rees, you got to apply the same filters to future challengers too.
AH

theres a miscommunication here


your thinking of "form" in the british sense

im using the word to refer to the punching form, how good his punches are, how well he throws different punches, his ability to get power out of his shots not based on strength, i feel he has the worst from ive ever seen
I just think that anyone who goes in against Rees is going to have to work hard, cause Rees will outwork a lot of fighters After all, he's probably not got the power and the technique to floor guys at light-welterweight, but he is going to work hard for 12 rounds and land some punches in every round.
