Anthony Crolla vs Gavin Rees

Decent fight, Rees will win

 

Is Crolla just interested in pay days now?

 

If he did not accept fight when will he be out next? What are hattons doing with Quigg?

 

No card in Cardiff on June 15th now then. Have to say it's probably for the best as few in Wales have cottoned onto Selby yet. Asked Jamie Sanigar yesterday about the Cardiff show and he said Selby is now on the Haye undercard too but no opponent as yet. Decent opponent and undercard slot on this one may work out for the better for him.

As for Rees, as long as his Bronering didn't take too much out of him mentally or physically then he'll stop Crolla.

 

be a war while it lasts.fancy rees in mid rounds by tko

 

Cabbage Reef to win this via late stoppage.

 

Rees to win late stoppage, thats if Crolla fights how he did against Derry in the 2nd fight

 

Hello Mate Hows Crollas balls tasting these days?

 

This is a bit of a mismatch disguised as a competitive fight. Rees to win with embarrassing ease....after 4 it lasts as long as Rees wants it to

 

I think your selling Crolla a bit short here, or maybe overrating Rees?
Crolla is domestic level, Rees is European. There's not a lot of difference but yeah Rees is the better fighter but he's struggled with arguably lesser fighters than Crolla in Murray and John Watson.

It's a good comeback fight for Rees, certainly no mismatch IMO.

 

Rees isn't THAT much better than Crolla in terms of skills and talent he's just far more solid and durable and hits harder. I like Crolla and think he's had a slightly rough ride partly of his own making and switching trainers and styles so often, he just looks very fragile and small at lightweight. Can't see anything other than a Rees stoppage after a competitive first few rounds with Crolla boxing well to a plan. Crolla inexplicably reminds me of Gareth Gates, every time he fights with his little baby face I almost want to jump in the ring and tell them to leave the poor stuttering boy alone!

 

I agree with this, Crolla is talented but I believe hes a natural Super feather. Rees is short but very solid, hes very good at getting inside taller fighters and using his height to his advantage. It will be interesting to see how much the Broner fight has taken anything out of him though, it may be a much closer fight then people are predicting.
