    Round 3:
    Murray is still having trouble finding Rees. Gavin is working the ring stepping in and out with his jab. We're starting to get a couple more exchanges now but even then Rees is getting the better of them. Rees is picking up the tempo now and looking strong.
    30-27 Rees.

    3 zip at the moment. Murray looks like a deer in the headlights. Tentative, even if he's not that good he can't be doing himself justice. He hasn't tried anything. I think he's worried by this speed, he's getting countered. Rees takes a little step back or slips and counters quite well. In between that he's getting overwhelmed.

    i think the thing with rees is he got his world title fight out of nowhere. the wrong weight, coming of 6 rounders and he has not even fought for a domestic title. so quite rightfully he was seen as **** compared to other fighters at world title level.

    now he has gone back, almost learnt his trade again...and obviously changed his lifestyle a little bit (we have all heard the stories) and we are seeing a fighter who always had ability climbing his way up the rankings the way it should be.

    Rees was never a real 140 fighter, it's good to see him fighting at his more natural weight at 135.

    Rees has good timing and decent angles.

    The rest and change of Camp has really freshened Rees up, plenty of experience as well should give him another lease of life and hopefully make him a 2 weight World Champ...:good

    Remember when Enzo Calzaghe was saying Hatton needs to get in line for a shot at Rees? :lol:

    Murray is so tentative he's no where near in range at times when he's throwing its as if he has no confidence in his ability to take a punch off rees?

    Round 4:
    Punchstats show that Rees is outlanding Murray significantly. Murray is yet to land a single bodyshot. Murray is warned for throwing a shot at Rees as his back is turned... even then he missed the head. Rees is continuing to control the range and pace of this fight and is clearly taking the rounds for me. Rees also looks to be fighting at a controlled pace which at the moment it looks like he would be comfortable doing 12 rounds of.
    40-36 Wees.

    The signs of that Rees notorious porus defence rears its head at times. Can see what they've worked on but then he'll run flush into a jab and his goes flying back :lol:

    This guy doesn't look as good as what John watson was.
