andreas kotelnik..............IN GERMANY!!!! kotelnik will win. why?? cause he is the far better fighter!!!!!
Rees cant be written off, we did that kast time. The thing is we dont actually know how good he is, he went from fighting meanigless 6 rounders to becoming WBA champion, madness. But still Kotlnik with home advantage surely must be a big favourite. Kotelnik on Pts imo, but id luv to be wrong.
how come rees got a shot at the wba championship? who did he beat? did he beat any world ranked fighters?
m'bye is warrens as is rees, mbye had looked awful in his previous fight (kotelnik too i think) so needed an 'easy' one. problem is he was even worse v rees, i saw it coming, won a decent bit of cash on rees. reckon kotelnik wins though.
i like rees totally not what you expect from a short stout welsh shaven headed hardnut.....you get a quick handed high workrate super slick skills and ali shuffles to boooot. i think rees is better than people say he looked pretty good against mbaye...even thuogh mbaye didnt put up much fight you have to admit that he was completly lost when fightign gavin didnt know if to jab(becuase gavin was far slicker defencivly than him) or to fight with him....(becuase gavin was far faster with the hooks especially to the body)
cant really see kotelnik fighting as badly mbaye did. reckon any version of kotelnik that shows up will win, especially in germany. if the guy that fought witter turns up then i cant see rees lasting the distance.
If Rees got down to Lightweight or ever Super Feather he could be a top fighter, i know hes won a world title but it should go soon. Is he 100% fighting in Germany theres been no anouncement.
there's been a few rumours going round that it's been cancelled. rees-kotelnik that is. not skelton's fight.

Just read it on the BBC website and they are trying to put rees on the undercard of haye v macrinelli.
Kotelnik is a tall order, both literally and figuratively. It'll be interesting to see Rees handle this one.
Why not against Witter? If Rees is going to lose the title straight away anyway FW might as well give us a decent undercard fight.
Kotelnik is a quality operator ... he lost a a razor thin decision to Witter which many people thought could have gone either way and Mbaye somehow managed a 'draw' against Kotelnik on a Frank Warren show !! .. if Ree's does win this fight, he's a much better fighter than i gave him credit for.
