Rees IS a good fighter, even though a lot of people on here thinks he's a bum. He's fighting in a division thats too big for him. He would be a be a world contender at SFW if he can make the weight. At least he fights unlike some world champions at the min. I also think Steve Bunce is an Arsehole. He said Gavin rees won the 1st 2 and that was it and then Gavin rees was totally outclassed. The other guy was in front by about 3-4 max rounds IMO, but not 9. Arsehole !!
He wasn't very happy was he - "I don't care what sex you are if you had Rees winning that fight you shouldn't be watching boxing", lol. 2 good fights, lets hope the Katsidis vs Casamayor fight is just as good. :good
I myself gave Rees 1 and 2 and all the rest to Kotelnik. I also think Bunce is a twat but he was right on this occasion
Well Rees proved that the Mbaye fight was no fluke tonight and i take back everything i said. Its a shame that Rees did'nt make it to the end of the 12th. He deserved to last the distance in this one. What a warrior!
Thank you Mr Referee. Mr V Bookie owns me a tidy amount after i backed the fight to end before 12 :happy
I'll be the first to admit that i'm pro khan, but if rees thinks he has the tools to dismantle khan in 6 rounds than this is just utter bravado on his part, having looked back at the khotelnik fight i had the ukranian ahead by 8 rounds to 2 with 2 even rounds, khan would have an early night with gavin.
Is that the first time you've noticed that? They pop up regularly & I've never understood what they are either. Anyway, Rees showed a lot of bottle & I felt sorry for him being stopped in the last round but Kotelnik was clearly winning. Rees is too small for the division, his punches are weaker than Malignaggi's. I found it amazing to see him having a joke with Enzo before the last round. I think his somewhat dour demeanour probably belies his true self. I found the Lockett interview quite interesting. Gary was under no illusions regarding Arum's & HBO's motives for choosing him as Pavliks next opponent.
u wouldv thought he'd train like a dedicated proffesional leading up to the mbaye fight, but as soon as he won it he turned out to be a little cocky ****,
Er, yes i think so. :roll: Rees heart was top class in this fight and he proved that the Mbaye fight was legit.
