    I think he's been on the wrongside of a few decisions now...but he isnt crying about like some do! It's tough at his stage of career, but he's probably achieved everything he can now so should probably retire, although he still looked liked he's got a lot to give.

    Great fight the other night which he WON.... Jim Watt reckons that 12th round was tight, i think he talks a load of **** clear round for rees, thought rees landed the better shots all night clearly body shots are not a scoreing punch then!

    Rematch, he won that fight.

    That said, what else does he have to prove? He's done it all and won't reach past heights. Think he just loves fighting though.

    Eh...I thought he nicked it, 115-113, but the scoring was fine.

    If they do rematch it would be nice to see it avenged so Rees can ride off into the sunset on a high note (no trilogy! As much as we may want it, those lads will ruin each other at that rate...) while Buckland, as Nicky Piper said, won't suffer too bad a setback in a loss to Rees and can regroup and keep working toward a British title or what have you...especially coming off a 1-1 split to basically cancel out the loss.

    Retire. He's had a tough career achieved a lot and now has a family to keep him busy, what got to me was on Sky the commentators said "you don't want him to go out like that" why not? Why not go out on a great fight that now he knows he won't get back to former glories would they rather he continued like Danny Williams and got K.O.ed every fight

    Minority view, most fans had it a point for Rees; Watt had it for him by two. (barring a level round, virtually the same card as Ian John Lewis' - the sole judge standing between a unanimous decision loss and Rees...)

    I do if I'm watching it live but if I'm watching a fight back to no biasly score it it mute it no matter who's commentating it make a MASSIVE difference

    Can Billy not express an opinion without it coming back to the beltran fight. Yeah Burns got lucky, I dont know what Billy has to do except serve penance with "Beltran deserved to win" tagged on every post! It is boring, **** happens, doesn't mean it's right, and Beltran could of appealed.

    He is seriously considering retirement from the noises coming out of his team, not sure if I would like him to do or not. Would like to see the rematch but what does he has to prove?
