By Scott Gilfoid: Gavin Rees (37-1-1, 18 KO’s) doesn’t think WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) sees him as a real threat to beating him on February 16th in their fight at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Rees feels that Broner sees their fight as just another easy win for him to pick up against an over-matched opponent.
Rees said to RingTV “He [Broner] shows no respect for nobody…He’s underestimating me and in [2] weeks’ time he’ll know what it’s like in the ring.”
I guess that also can also apply to Rees. In two weeks’ time he’ll know what it’s like to be in the ring with Broner, and I suspect he’s going to be miserable after he finds out. When you have a mismatch like the Broner-Rees fight, the best that the over-matched opponent [Rees] can really hope for is that he doesn’t look too awful in getting blasted out.
