    Could be interesting.
    Gavin has a good work rate and is happy to throw combinations that might make Forbes go into a shell, but I think Forbes might well be able to shoulder roll and counter enough to win a UD, but I dont say this with confidence. Gavin surprised me by beating Mbaye and winning prize fighter, but I pick Forbes experience to win

    If Forbes stays at 140, he's a major threat for everyone. He should kill Rees btw

    Hopefully Forbes gets the UD and i think he can... i don't think Rees has the power to trouble Forbes and put him on the back foot. But we shall see.... i hope stevie makes a big statement and KO's the guy... although its VERY unlikely to happen

    Forbes has skills and Rees has none. Rees is the worst and most undeserving/ lucky champion in the history of the sport.

    I thought Rees didn't agree to this fight?

    Anyway, this could be interesting. Rees is basically just a bowling ball, and Forbes is a good defensive fighter who seems to forget about throwing punches at all for long stretches. Neither has much punching power. If Forbes can stay active and counter, he should be able to win a decision, but I can see a scenario where Forbes dominates for stretches but Rees wins because Forbes took too many rounds off.

    Luis Santana says hi.

    But year, Rees is pretty bad for a former titlist. About on the same level with guys like Maselino Masoe and Eric Aiken.

    Finally, nice break for Stevie. May be more than he can chew at his age. Good fight.

    Truth. I dont thin Ree's have ever contested a domestic belt. And yet he got a crack at the WBA vs M'baye and now this. Some strange management..

    That's wassup, Im happy for Stevie Forbes for getting these kinds of fights, you know he got paid for the De La Hoya Fight, and that's just a good look for his carreer, he's got some names under his resume. Bojado, Hopkins, De La Hoya, Berto!! Now Rees
