ree's is tiny

[stuey]

that is all.

[stuey]

rees looking a little exposed here, his punches just dont put kotelnik off.

going to be a long night for rees methinks...

[rydersonthestorm]

some of rees body shots look quite decent he just throws to many weak shots, however after six rounds i have in 4-2 to ress.

ihad it 3 all, now 4-3 rees.

[hitman_hatton1]

i got it 5-3 kotelnik. :-(

[stuey]

4-4 rees has some minerals...

[hitman_hatton1]

i thought kotelnik again in that rd.

debateable though.

6-3 kotelnik.

[Bomber_uk]

I don't suppose anyone has a link to a livestream ?

[hitman_hatton1]

7-3 kotelnik.

rees showing his toughness. :yep

i've preferred kotelnik's quality.

[brown bomber]

Come on rees. I bet on him for boxpicks.

[hitman_hatton1]

i'll shade that for rees.

7-4 kotelnik.

[PrideOfWales]

Time to start giving Rees some due respect.

Fighting two divisions above his best weight he's a tough fucker and will give a tough scrap to most boxers

[stuey]

Come on rees. I bet on him for boxpicks.


i have kotelnik:D need all i can after andy lee:bart

[znaak]

Oh Yeaaaaahhhh!!!!! :d :d :d :d :d :d

[brown bomber]

i have kotelnik:D need all i can after andy lee:bartJoin the eastside thingy on it.... I would have picked lee too.

[hitman_hatton1]

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.

[stuey]

great fight.

would love to know what the cards were:think

[stuey]

fuck me. even bunce makes sense:shock:

[cjk44]

gav showed great heart, needs to move down tho.

props to kotelnik

[rydersonthestorm]

I think he needs to drop in weight and he could so something at a lower weight.

[Leif Erikson]

gav showed great heart, needs to move down tho.

props to kotelnik
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.

[brown bomber]

:-( Fuck

[hitman_hatton1]

rees against katsidis anyone. :bbb

love to see that fight. :yep

[Claypole]

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 prick. (Bunce, that is!)

[stuey]

the judges all had kotelnik comfortably too.

would have been just.

[rooq]

fuck me. even bunce makes sense:shock:

thats what i thought :lol:

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

[Dibbs]

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.

[stuey]

he has some bottle, thats for sure.
problem was, only the body shots landed and they simply did fuck all.
he is not big enough for the division.:deal

[faisal]

rees couldnt make 140 yesterday how do u expect him to boil down to lightweight or super feather?

[Diablo]

a drastic change to his diet

[The taff]

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 !!

[The taff]

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 prick. (Bunce, that is!)

Agreed, i can't stand the man

[LB3000]

fuck me. even bunce makes sense:shock: He wasn't very happy was he :D - "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

[rooq]

rees couldnt make 140 yesterday how do u expect him to boil down to lightweight or super feather?

cut out the beer, and train like a dedicated professional boxer.

:rofl

Love the fact you had to specify who you meant!

[mrbassie]

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

[Tuffnutz]

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

Did you watch the same fight as me?

[faisal]

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.

[faisal]

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 shit,

[Tuffnutz]

Did you watch the same fight as me?

Er, yes i think so. :roll:

Rees heart was top class in this fight and he proved that the Mbaye fight was legit.

[Max Molyneux]

Close fight before he was stopped but Rees Is sadly outsized at Light Welter.

[Max Molyneux]

He was only 10 grams over the limit though and It's possible the scales wern't calibrated properly.

Williams wasn't 228 when he fought Gammer.

[cjk44]

how can a man who's five foot 3 struggle to make weight like gavin did yesterday

he should be able if he's training properly to make even super feather let alone light welter at his height

Yeh its a funny one, especially as his cardio is pretty good.

[Bodysnatcher]

Rees looked flabby to me.

His heart is massive but I think he's a crap LWW and I said that all along.

M'Baye looked like he'd turned up for a sparring session last year, he just didn't look interested and Rees capitalised on that.

[DamonD]

Yes; let's hope Lockett uses that for motivation.

[slapbangwhallop]

see the guy in the front row with the big black specs - he was arguing with me (I was in the Celtic shirt behind him) that Rees was even going into the last round! Not a chance I said - 7 rounds to 4 to Andreas - then he gives me that "i've been in the boxing business for over 40 years" - line I tell him that maybe he should have learned a little more in all that time then - and turned on my heels to collect my winnings - well I would have if I could have got on line around there - :lol:

P.S. South Wales - what a shithole - no offense meant ot any South Walesers!

A good big man will always beat a good but very small man.
