M'Baye vs. Rees Round by Round

[SevenSamurai]

Rees outworks M'Baye in the first round, with good body shots.

Rees 10-9.

[SevenSamurai]

Rees looks fantastic. I think he might burn himself out and get fatigued later though.

[SevenSamurai]

Rees 10-9 2nd round. M'Baye is standing off him, Rees is forcing the action and outworking him.

20-18.

[doggyland]

Calm stuey calm:smoke

[nulty]

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.

[SevenSamurai]

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.

[hitman_hatton1]

bit closer that weren't it.

i agree that rees took it though. :yep

[PrideOfWales]

Rees showing some good shit here so far! Hope he doesn't punch himsef out though.

[SevenSamurai]

Calzaghe at ringside giving good advice, for Rees to keep his hands up.

[sean]

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.

[SevenSamurai]

M'Baye is not motivated here. He thinks he just has to turn up to win???

Rees 10-9

Rees 40-36.

[PrideOfWales]

Rees giving everything. Just can't let his workrate drop though. C'mon Gav!!

[sean]

4-0
mbaye is one lazy fighter tonight.

[nulty]

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.

[hitman_hatton1]

go gavin. :yep

[sean]

mbaye is telegraphing every lead and lacks snap and speed.

its like watching mini me in the ring with rees.
5-0
what they talking about closer round.
mbaye did fuck all.

[SevenSamurai]

Rees is starting to tire in this round and takes a bit of a breather at one point but he still outworks M'Baye and gets the round. Rees wants this fight more, but I think he gases and gets stopped.

10-9

50-45 Rees

[PrideOfWales]

It's a tale of tactics. Rees doing exactly the right thing - MBaye is doing exactly the wrong thing. Rees can't win if this is fought on the outside.

[sean]

what did mbaye do and land to outscore or draw level in the 5th.?
rees is not breathing heavy or letting his work get ragged which suggests his stamina is ok at the moment.

[stuey]

i got a tenner on ree's at bet365 at 9-1

[sean]

mbaye is lunging, timing is off and still telegraphing everything he wings from range and is only succesfull with the occasional counterpunch power shot.

[PrideOfWales]

Keep Your Fucking Hands Up GAVIN!!!!

[SevenSamurai]

M'Baye is doing nothing- he cant win rounds standing there. Rees even catches him with a good head shot.

Rees 10-9

60-54

A shock is on the cards!!!

[SevenSamurai]

It's a tale of tactics. Rees doing exactly the right thing - MBaye is doing exactly the wrong thing. Rees can't win if this is fought on the outside.

Thats it really. Rees is being allowed to win this fight by M'Bayes laziness.

[sean]

the only way mbaye wins this is if rees tires.
and no way is mbaye doing anything to tire rees at all.

ress is like sparring on a heavy bag , except the bag punches back more than mbaye.
well at this point through 7 rounds anyway.

rees is getting his rests in the rounds, getting his flurries off and confidence makes your adrenaline pump and give you extra stamina.

7-0 rees.

[sean]

mbaye landed absolute flush on the bell and never hurt rees at all.

[hitman_hatton1]

another rees rd. :yep

m'baye don't seem at all bothered does he.

shocking.

[SevenSamurai]

M'Baye does better this round, but Rees wins this round clearly again.

10-9 Rees

70-63 Rees

[nulty]

I'm loving this. Go on Gavin.

[PrideOfWales]

Unbelievably lacklustre stuff from MBaye - what does he think he's doing?

[stuey]

Unbelievably lacklustre stuff from MBaye - what does he think he's doing?

earning me £90:yep

[Amsterdam]

another rees rd. :yep

m'baye don't seem at all bothered does he.

shocking.

This is beyond shocking.:patsch

[safe_pa]

i got a tenner on ree's at bet365 at 9-1

Good move man lets hope MBaye doesnt get motivated, he's terrible right now.

[sean]

rees will not tire to much simply because he is very relaxed in there.


rees round great last 20 sec to get the round 8-0

[SevenSamurai]

Rees is gased now. Even round. but Rees knicks it at the end.

10-9

80-72 Rees

[PrideOfWales]

All Rees needs to do is stay upright for the remaining rounds for an incredible win!! C'mon Gavin, stick in there son!!

[sean]

mcguigan gives mbaye a share of 2.
clearly on the guinness.

[hitman_hatton1]

m'baye hasn't tried anything different.

awful.

[ChuckYoungblood]

This is so weird

[stuey]

this could all go wrong for ree's. simply cause my bets never win...

[stuey]

i got a tenner on the big truck to win 1-3 by ko.

20-1

[hitman_hatton1]

another easy rees rd.

looks like we have a new champion fella's. :yep

[SevenSamurai]

M'Baye is constantly telegraphing the right hand...and missing constantly. He has no work rate at all.

Even round though as no clear winner.

10-10

90-83 Rees after 9th

[Ky]

He's got a bit of a black eye from those rights, wonder how many more MBaye can land in the last few rounds.

[sean]

9-0 ress still landed 4 to 1

[stuey]

just looked. its 5-1 still a nifty aint to be sneezed at

[SevenSamurai]

Rees is beating him to the punch and out scoring him. Some good body shots.

10-9 Rees

100-92 Rees

[PrideOfWales]

He's done all the hard work, he can't throw this away now. MBaye got through a bit more that round but is neglecting the uppercut.

[Zakman]

i got a tenner on the big truck to win 1-3 by ko.

20-1

Indeed! Look for him to lay Enzo out cold early!:yep

[SevenSamurai]

Rees left eye is a concern.

[stuey]

Indeed! Look for him to lay Enzo out cold early!:yep

just checked this one and its 18-1.:bart
i gotta stop drinking:yep

[SevenSamurai]

M'Bayes round. Rees eye is causing him problems here.

10-9 M'Baye

109-102 Rees

[hitman_hatton1]

yeah rees was a bit ragged there.

m'baye was hardly get lots off himself though.

[SevenSamurai]

Rees is huggy bearing it through this round..:lol:

[SevenSamurai]

Even round 12th

119-113 Rees win!!!!!!

The judges will have it by 4 or 5 rounds minimum.

[hitman_hatton1]

rees won that last rd as well i thought.

definite win for rees.

something like 10-2 should be the score. :yep

[AllyT]

Well done wee man.

Never seen hinm box before but I am a new fan.

[stuey]

show me the money:happy :happy :happy

[PrideOfWales]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Fucking hell!!!!! Fully deserved!!! Well done gav... fucking brilliant.

I just hope Joe Calzaghe hasn't aged overnight after that fight!

[safe_pa]

wow, Gav must have won, mbaye was shit!

[SevenSamurai]

Awaiting the official decision.

It is

117-113
117-112
118-110

Rees champion!

[hitman_hatton1]

the last judge was more like it.

that mc is garbage.

and new wbo champion. :lol: :patsch

[safe_pa]

yes! Gav fucking did it! go on boy! 3 welsh abc world champs!

[nufc16]

m'baye just doesnt look like he gives a shit. very strange performances from him. even in that last he just wouldnt let go when it was obvious he needed a KO.

[SevenSamurai]

the last judge was more like it.

that mc is garbage.

and new wbo champion. :lol: :patsch

That ring annoucer is one of the worst ever...

Great win. I think he won by atleast 6 rounds. I was trying to give mBaye rounds as he was the champ and had it by 6.

[sean]

i will laugh if rees calls out mayweather

[ChuckYoungblood]

Mbaye did nothing!! Huge upset..

[nufc16]

sure the ring announcer is the guy from operation good guys. and those loan adverts on tv.

[PrideOfWales]

Mbaye was absolutely awful but fuck that... all credit to Rees. His hunger won this for him. He simply wanted it a hell of a lot more than MBaye

[AllyT]

i will laugh if rees calls out mayweather

Hope he does. Might beat him too.:yep

[claudius brown]

Are you sure that was Mbaye ? and not his pussy twin bro!
very strange but well done to rees & the fella who won sum £££££

[stuey]

sure the ring announcer is the guy from operation good guys. and those loan adverts on tv.

he was in grange hill

[Max Molyneux]

Upset of the year?

I didn't give M'Baye more than 1 round.

[ChuckYoungblood]

Afterwards M'Baye didn't seem to care at all - he just smiled like nothing happened

[Max Molyneux]

And Enzo Calzaghe Is a god.

I said In previous posts that If Rees won, then Enzo should be called a god!

[The taff]

Well done rees. You proved all the doubters so wrong:good

[PrideOfWales]

I admit it was a very odd performance from MBaye - two ****** fighters... anyone care to speculate?

[Max Molyneux]

anyone care to speculate?

Well M'Baye didn't like Kotelnik's agression but screw that, Rees POWA!

[LeedsLad]

Come on Rees! M'Baye looked fucked, but seriously this was probably because Rees was so unbelievably different lol what a performance, hes the man.

[SevenSamurai]

I admit it was a very odd performance from MBaye - two ****** fighters... anyone care to speculate?

It was not a fit up. I have seen that from M'Baye before, only for him to wake up and step up a gear. In this fight, he had one gear and it was slow-slow-slow.

[nulty]

I admit it was a very odd performance from MBaye - two ****** fighters... anyone care to speculate?

Weren't the Khan camp at ringside? I don't want to take anything away from Gavin, but they could be looking at a Rees v Khan fight? World champ at 21 etc And with Amirs height and speed advantages and the fact that Rees isn't really a puncher at 140 who knows. If I was one who was into conspiracies I'd go along those lines.

Edit: Don't get me wrong I believe Rees won fair and square and there was no funny business involved.

[LeedsLad]

Damn, you could be onto something there. There was something seriously wrong with M'Baye, he didnt throw at all when Rees was there to be hit with his arms down.

[AllyT]

I think I know why Rees won but I will expand when sober.

(say 2012)

[nulty]

In my post I meant to say Gavin isn't a puncher at 140 not 147. I'm pissed not stupid.

[hitman_hatton1]

bring on khan v rees.

it's the only world title khan could possibly get his mits on. :yep

[Nemesis]

credit where credit is due, congratulations Gavin Rees

[SevenSamurai]

Rees is made for Khan, Rees should stay away from him if he wants to keep his belt. Just tell ****** to f-off.

[Taffyy]

Well done to Gavin............Granted Mbaye was shit but you have to give Gavin credit...........I spoke to Gavin about 4 weeks ago & he really fancied it........I know all fighter have to be positive but he was 100% sure of it...........Personally I thought it might be too much for him but Im glad he proved me wrong..................Brilliant......!!!

[The taff]

Rees beats Khan IMO. I think rees is better than Wille Limond

[Max Molyneux]

bring on khan v rees.

it's the only world title khan could possibly get his mits on. :yep

If Limond can hurt Khan then Gav's overwhelming speedy shots will.:yep

[jc]

WOW!

What a load of wankers we are, we gave him no hope what so ever!

Great perforamce from a fighter who hasnt even for the best domestically at LIGHTWEIGHT, to go up a division a dominate the WBA champ is a huge performance and probably the biggest upset since what, Steve Robinson winnin the WBO featherweight title...?

Thing is nobody knows how good Rees is now, was that a one off against a avergae champ, or can he go onto defend a title that at light welter even though he is obvious a lightweight!?!

Great performance though, loved every second of it. And goes to prove that Enzo Calzaghe is the best boxing trainer in the country WITHOUT DOUBT!

[BigEars]

Pass the Humble Pie :patsch.......................man did I get this one wrong .

Well done Gavin Rees he performed far better than I expected , as for M'Baye I don't think ****** is going to be holding onto him for too much longer .

With all that said Kotelnik is Rees' mandatory , that's gonna be fucking tough .

[jc]

Mbaye has served his purpose, you can get rid of him now Frank.

[PrideOfWales]

Pass the Humble Pie :patsch.......................man did I get this one wrong.

You're by no means on your own here.

[Max Molyneux]

I wish I didn't go with the Majority after seeing Rees won.

I could of done another told you so like with Joe and Lacy.:|

[AllyT]

Well done to Gavin............Granted Mbaye was shit but you have to give Gavin credit...........I spoke to Gavin about 4 weeks ago & he really fancied it........I know all fighter have to be positive but he was 100% sure of it...........Personally I thought it might be too much for him but Im glad he proved me wrong..................Brilliant......!!!

The crucial point for me was that he is not shit, he is a good boxer who was not good enough for a boxer coached by Enzo Calzaghe.

[nulty]

If Limond can hurt Khan then Gav's overwhelming speedy shots will.:yep

Maybe. But Gavin is slower than Khan and Khan won't be as stupid as M'Baye, Khan will fight on the outside. So can Gavin get under the jab of Khan and close the range? Can he deal with Khans speed? I think Khan is overrated but I think Rees is made for him, he may well be a world champ at 21 after all, did you see the look on his dads face at ringisde a number of the rest of his team there looked smug as hell as well.

[faisal]

i reckon rees will outbox khan

[Max Molyneux]

Willie was slower than Khan too and was slipping under Khan at times. Gav's shorter to find It easier to slip under Khan too. Khan cannot be speed reliant for long, without speed he would of lost to Willie.

Screw their smug arses, they should be worried about his chin lay off tha cockiness.
