For all on-going and post-fight reaction to the Broner-Reese fight. Will "Broner" be a massive "problem" for Reese in a blowout? Will this fight be a good (although losing effort) for Reese? Or can Reese shock the 30-1 to 80-1 odds against him and solve "The Problem?!"
Find out in this thread!

I haven't wished upon a star in a long time, but tonight, I will. My only wish is that Rees gives us something to talk about. I'm not talking about him being a highlight on Broner's reel, but hopefully he shows us something.
In the back of my mind, I just think his head movement will slow down drastically, after Broner shows his speed and catches him with a few shots early on. On the other hand, I'm not liking these damn odds, and again, with these types of lopsided odds...anything can happen.
I'm about to check out a Rees fight. Can anybody name one of his hardest fights...I need to see how he handles speed and adversity...that's usually what I watch old fights for. Help

Here's Gavin's Record,
He said in an interview that he was never stopped, but he does have one TKO loss in the 12th round:
http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=...0&cat=boxerMaybe he was hit hard and doesn't remember being stopped!
I hope he's not this British Bum that the boxing scribes say. I don't know what fights to check. I heard he's slow, determined, and likes to brawl, but is not noted as a hard puncher.
Jack
PS. I might check the fight he lost TKO 12 Kotelnik. I mean he is a former WBA world and British champ, so it's not like he's some Peter McNeeley that they plucked off the street.

This already isn't sounding good for Rees. Lol
I'll check out the Kotelnik fight...that should be a decent litmus test for me to make a decent prediction of his performance tonight.

Did I mention that I hate Adrien Broner...so much to the point that he's actually entertaining from time to time?
I saw a 10 min clip of Rees/Kotelnik (from round 10-12), and I saw all I needed to see. Broner by murder, tonight. An upset on Rees' end can never be underestimated, but it may not be tonight.
I didn't know that Lampley would be calling the fight tonight, I was expecting RJJ, Kellerman, and Papa.

Bika has pitched a shutout thus far. Bika is a mixture of Taye Diggs and Evander Holyfield.

I've watched Bika quite a few times before and to me, the extent to which he's been using the jab tonight and the success he's having with it is a new development. I'm attributing that to his new trainer.
The only issue is the doubling up and tripling up. You can get caught that way, although the speed with which he's been doubling it up has kept him out of any serious trouble (unlike my friend Mike Dallas Jr.).
Also that could be because Sjekloca isn't that dangerous of a puncher, but I think that since Bika isn't being lazy with it, or essentially pausing in between, he isn't allowing Sjekloca to counter that well.
