By Scott Gilfoid: WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) will be facing former WBA World light welterweight champion Gavin Rees (37-1-1, 18 KO’s) in a mismatch on February 16th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, according to Steve Kim.
This is a sick mismatch. Rees, #2 WBA, #5 WBO, #15 IBF, stands absolutely no chance against the 23-year-old Broner. I thought the Broner vs. Ricky Burns fight was a terrible mismatch, but this one even worse than that. Rees, 32, is going to get drilled into the canvas within four or five rounds.
By Scott Gilfoid: WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) won’t likely be getting the unification bout that he’s been wanting for some time against WBO lightweight champ Ricky Burns because the Brit isn’t ready to take the fight and it’s unclear right now if he ever will. Broner is scheduled to fight on February 16th on HBO at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and the options for this fight are absolutely poor for the 23-year-old Broner.
By Chris Williams: WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (31-1, 20 KO’s) is now #5 in the Ring Magazine pound-for-pound ratings. What’s interesting about this is that Donaire is ranked above #6 Adrien Broner and #7 Manny Pacquiao. I don’t agree with that ranking at all. Pacquiao should still be ranked above Donaire despite getting knocked out by Marquez.

Burns’ promoter Alex Morrison says that Burns isn’t ready to take on a fighter like the talented 23-year-old Broner at this point.
