Would love to see this! Rees Via Decision in a fight which has a very high number of (feather fisted) punches :happy
I like Rees, just wished he'd always shown the dedication to make 135 :good Both he and Murray are not too disimilar IMO, both rely on volume and tenacity to get the job done. I just fancy Rees' extra speed ad more proven durability (just about, Kotelnik is no puncher but he hit him at will for nearly 36 minutes ) to see him to have enough of an edge to win on points in a close, competitive fight. It's a great fight for Murray as well IMO.
He is, ad I'd prefer to see him @ 130 (likes his drink!) I mean, Rees Vs Burns @130 would be a fight genuinely worth watching IMO. Means little in the grand scheme of things but good clash of styles, Burns would have to come through a lot of early-to-mid rounds aggression, and Gavin would be at his optimum weight.
Rees has a very under-rated jab IMO. He was out landing Watson despite a three foot height disadvantage. He'd land all night on Murray, it's just a case of whether he can withstand the late storm.
Tough fight for both men this, I'd favour Murray but you can never write Rees off, if Rees is fully prepared then I'd say it's a 50/50 that little dude can scrap!!
Absolutely, but I think Rees beat a better Watson to be honest. I watched Kotelnik steaming, and have never re-watched it, but other than that I've not seen Rees out-jabbed once. I think he can beat Murray.
