    Kotelnik is his mando i think, i dont think he would win that fight though. I think there's a fairly decent chance he wont be fighting anyone too taxing next..

    call me crazy, but i'm actually thinking that rees could actually successfully defend the title with a little help from Mr Warren. he just needs another slow one-dimensional come-forward fighter who he can easily counter all night.

    i've only seen kotelniks draw against mbaye so wasn't sure if that was a fair reflection of his abilities.

    Kotelnik is a good fighter. A tough mandatory for Rees. I'll be rooting for Rees again. Rees may be hitting the scene like Marciano. Marciano was looked upon as this small guy who was raw with no skills. Then people begun to realise he was strong, tough and made his small stature work for him defensively.

    Who knows.

    Why not just get the real Bobby Gunn and have him lose that excess weight , he'd probably make Light-Welter :p

    Ree's is going to defend against Kotilink then destroy everyone before moving up to middle.

    hes going to make a voluntary first.Expect warren to find a very beatable fighter. Ive still got the feeling that somehow kahn will end up fighting rees for this belt

    I'd very much like to see this fight since I know Gavin will knock Amir Khan clean out.

    As long as Gav remains focused, maintains his discipline and trains hard then I'm very sure he will be will be around for a long time.

    Regards,



    John :good

    :lol:

    khan gets put down by an experienced but feather-fisted commonwealth champ and suddenly anyone can knock khan clean out.

    rees won't be knocking anyone out.

    Gavin is a sound fella & at the end of the day he took his opportunity with both hands.............Instead of praising him for beating what was put in front of him against all the odds ALOT of fight fans are just taking the **** out of him..............I have watched most of his fights & he does what he does...........give him some credit for ****s sake because I think he may go to suprise a few people......

    I give Gavin credit for winning the crown and for any subsequent defence he makes....I also think he will make one or two depending on the matchmaking of course.

    What still puzzles me is how he got his shot in the first place (over other more worthy brits).
