Rees 10-9 2nd round. M'Baye is standing off him, Rees is forcing the action and outworking him. 20-18.
First two rounds go to Rees in my eyes, as John Rawling just said the punches might not do damage but they are eye catching and they are scoring shots. Rees outworking M'Baye.
What is M'Baye doing? Fighting on the inside against a guy with no reach!!! Rees outworks him again, although M'Baye starting to find the target with the right. 10-9 Rees. 30-27 Rees.
i think rees will tire and get stopped , but if he does not then he will beat mbaye, who is one of those lazy fighters who just likes to do enough to win, and he simply cannot keep up with any sort of pace at all per round. remember mbaye was not fresh v koltenik , so mbaye better start moving through the gears.
I hope Rees has the fitness to keep this up, if he does we'll have a new champ. Also the work he's doing to the body will take it's toll on M'Baye.
