    Great to see him go out on a win.

    He was ALWAYS in entertaining fights, always brought it and is fun to watch.

    Great fight last night.

    Best of luck, Gav!

    He done well, showed the boxing brain and movement that helped him win a world title. Buckland is great value, always gives his all, but lacks a boxing brain and Rees movement/boxing brain was difference. I had Rees winning by 5 rounds. Rees has a good career, like the guy, gives it is all and has done great especially considering how short he is compared to his opponents. I for one wish him a happy and healthy retirement

    Agreed, The Rock was a warrior who nvr turned down a challenge and always fought fights bigger than him.....

    Props to him!

    Almost always in a good fight is Rees... friendly style to watch as well.

    Good luck to him in what he chooses to do next, but I think he'll be drawn into a trilogy with Buckland.

    Won the British, European and World title, fought in the US and made some decent money. A very good career imo, glad to see he's invested is money well.
