Didnt relize how bad Rees's defence is it was terrible.He needs to drop at least 1 maybe 2 divisions.He did fight his heart out but at that level is isnt enough.

Gavin Rees was given the chance to win a World Title and took it - credit to him. The WBA are to blame for giving him a shot but he did win so it was justified.

He lost to Kotelnik who was ranked 4th overall in the division (according to Boxing Monthly) a guy who some thought beat Junior Witter when they met.

Kotelnik is a class operator, great defense and counter punching skills. Rees tried his best and gave a good account of himself despite his disadvantages height wise.

Yeh i agree, Kotelnik was to technically skilled for Rees.He already had a mountain to claim with how short and very little reach but he did not help him self with his hands down all the time.
