If Rees gives Broner a hard fight...

[yuppie]

Will that shatter Broners hype?

[S. Saddler 1310]

it will temper it a little.

Broner should look very good against Rees and get him out inside 5. unless he makes it obvious that he's carrying Rees, anything short of a finish inside the first half of the fight will be a relative disappointment.

I think so. Broner needs to stop him, plain and simple.

Not with HBO. HBO has way too much $ invested him already.

If Rees lasts the distance & wins more than two rounds you can be sure that there'll be hysteria on here screaming ROBBERY!

[Derranged]

Never seen this Rees guy. Is he any good?

I wouldn't doubt it

he's UK domestic/EBU level good. out of his league here.

he did win a strap at 140 a few years back, but you have to consider the deeply mediocre opposition he faced. in his first defence, the first truly world class guy he'd ever faced (light-punching Kotelnik) battered and stopped him.

In boxing at this level i would hope Rees gives Broner problems but we will see

[The Big Dunn]

Will that shatter Broners hype?

why isn't it an indication that broner can win a tough fight? why would it be viewed negatively.
