    Its easy to sit there and say that from the comfort of your home, its a bit different when your the one in the ring taking a beating.

    This is not a worthy debate frankly. Rees was brave yes but then so are all fighters. I cannot say that he was braver than other fighters out there. Also these comments are not to discredit him or trainer Gary Lockett either. What I would say is that there was no real conceivable way for Rees to win this fight nor did I see a strategy they were employing to win other than to come in and swing away. This was a stay busy fight for Broner who really is a problem for his opponents. I think he has some weaknesses though but want to see how he does with higher calibre opponents. Lets see him in there with Brandon Rios and the winner of the unification fight with the world champion lad from Scotland so we can settle who is the best at 135 before he moves up to 140. I suspect Frank ****** is not keen to make this match though.

    Thought Rees did ok, he's one tough little *******, Broner looked 3 weight classes above him.

    Rees came In at 154? I find that hard to believe, Broner is huge compared to Rees.
