huge right hand put paid to gav there. :-( rees showed how much heart he's got. but kotelnik just had the extra class. excellent fight.
Does he have the training dedication to get in to optimal shape though? Who knows. I'm honestly not sure why he's fighting at this weight in the first place. Good fighter, good, brave fight tonight but he could be better if he shed some weight and fought at his natural level. Perhaps it would've been more merciful for Rees if the once suggested Hatton fight had been his first defence - That would've ended inside a round and he wouldn't have taken the prolonged beating he took tonight. Hope he shows no long term damage.
Buncey was over the top there. He may have had a reasonable point, but he really went overboard, like he had some kind of problem with Rees. Fat *****. (Bunce, that is!)
thats what i thought rawling and woodhouse must have been well impressed with rees's body shots even if they didn't make a dent in kotelnik. i had it 108-103 to the Ukranian going into R12 but still, rees did better than i thought and it was an entertaining fight. felt a bit sorry for him that he didn't last the distance
Very tough fight for Rees, took some hard shots in there, i don't know what was worse taking the shots or getting the ear bashing from Enzo in between rounds. Rees needs to get down to SFW.
he has some bottle, thats for sure. problem was, only the body shots landed and they simply did **** all. he is not big enough for the division.:deal
