Christopher Rebrasse

Fielding defeats Rebrasse by controversial decision

by

fieldingBy Scott Gilfoid: In a nice little robbery, super middleweight Rocky Fielding (22-1, 12 KOs) won a highly controversial 12 round split decision win on Saturday night against Christopher Rebrasse (24-5-3, 6 KOs) at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. The final judges’ scores were 114-113, 114-113 for Fielding, and 115-113 for Rebrasse.

I had Rebrasse winning 8 rounds to 4. Rebrasse dropped Fielding in the 2nd round with a beautiful left-right combination to the head. Moments before that, Rebrasse had hurt Fielding with two straight right hands to the head that sent him scurrying for the ropes where Rebrasse then flattened him.

Smith defeats Rebrasse, looks very poor

by

smith7By Scott Gilfoid: #3 WBC Callum Smith (17-0, 12 KOs) was badly exposed tonight in winning a very unimpressive 12 round unanimous decision win over Christopher Rebrasse (23-4-3, 6 KOs) on Friday night to capture the vacant WBC Silver super middleweight title at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK. Other than main event, the fight card was filled with mismatches as far as the eye could see. Promoter Eddie Hearn’s A-side fighters all won, but the match-making was just awful to the extreme. It wasn’t even sporting. I’m just wondering where Hearn found all these over-matched B-side fighters.

The judges scores were 118-110, 118-110 and 120-107. The scores were extremely wide and not accurate to the actual took place. I had Rebrasse winning six rounds of the fight. What we learned from this fight was Smith can only throw body punches. He doesn’t have any punching power when he goes to the head.

Callum Smith vs. Christopher Rebrasse this Friday, June 26th in Liverpool, UK

by

smith5By Scott Gilfoid: #11 WBC, #11 IBF super middleweight contender Christopher Rebrasse (23-3-3, 6 KOs) plans on exposing unbeaten #3 WBC, #13 IBF Callum Smith (16-0, 12 KOs) this Friday, June 26th, in their fight for the vacant WBC Silver Super middleweight title at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.

The WBC Silver trinket is of less importance compared to the move up in the rankings that a victory for the 29-year-old Rebrasse would mean to him if he’s able to whip the stork-like 6’3” Smith.

Groves decisions Rebrasse, looks poor

by

groves56By Scott Gilfoid: A very tired looking George Groves (20-2, 15 Kos) struggled to defeat the light hitting EBU super middleweight champion Christopher Rebrasse (22-3-3, 6 KOs) on Saturday night by a 12 round unanimous decision at the Wembley Arena in London, UK. The final judges’ scores were 118-110, 118-110 and 117-111. Groves threw over 1000 punches

Groves was wobbled a couple of times by the light hitting Rebrasse and that’s really troubling. Both Carl Froch and Tony Bellew expressed doubts that Groves would be able to defeat WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell if that’s going to be his next fight.

Groves: Once I beat Rebrasse, I’m coming for Dirrell

by

groves88(Photo credit: Philip Sharkey) By Scott Gilfoid: Having been knocked out twice in a row in his last two fights has done nothing to diminish George Groves’ self-belief apparently, because he feels that he’s going to not only beat EBU super middleweight champion Christopher Rebrasse (22-2-3, 6 KOs) tonight in their WBC 168 pound title eliminator, but he’s then going to go on and beat the talented WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell (27-0, 22 KOs) to take his strap from him.

Groves thinks that Dirrell’s disgust at the potential of him having to defend his title against a fighter with two recent knockouts is a sign that Dirrell is afraid of him rather than him believing that the World Boxing Council has cheapened their own title by lowering the standards for which a fighter can fight for their belt.

Groves gains confidence from sparring session with Golovkin

by

groves6998By Scott Gilfoid: Former two time world title challenger George Groves (19-2, 15 KOs) says he gained a ton of confidence from his sparring session with WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin last July.

Groves sparred a little with Golovkin to get him ready for his title defense against Daniel Geale on July 26th, and Groves claims he did well during the sparring session. Groves didn’t say who got the better of who or if he was injured or knocked down during the session, but evidently Groves came away the sparring session with confidence that he still has it after his back to back knockout losses to IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch.

Dirrell: Groves doesn’t deserve a shot at my title

by

groves78899By Scott Gilfoid: WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell (27-0-1, 22 KOs) feels that #4 WBC George Groves (19-2, 15 KOs) doesn’t deserve a shot at his WBC 168 pound title, even if he defeats little known #3 WBC Christopher Rebrasse (22-2-3, 6 KOs) this Saturday night in their WBC super middleweight title eliminator at the Wembley Arena in London, UK.

The winner of the Groves-Rebrasse fight will become the mandatory challenger for Dirrell’s WBC belt. Dirrell doesn’t see Groves as a deserving challenger because of his two consecutive knockout losses to IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch in his last two fights.

Groves: Rebrasse is dangerous because of his ambition and dreams

by

groves4By Scott Gilfoid: George Groves (19-2, 15 KOs) is one week away from his WBC super middleweight eliminator bout against France’s Christopher Rebrasse (22-2-3, 6 KOs) on September 20th at the Wembley Arena in London, UK.

This is a fight that Groves absolutely must win if he’s going to be able to get locked into the mandatory position for a title shot against WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell.

It’s also a fight that Groves must win for him to keep alive the hopes, as slim as they are, for a third fight against IBF/WBA 168 pound champion Carl Froch. Groves has been knocked out twice in a row by Froch, but Groves still thinks that Froch wants to fight him. With the easy cash that Froch made off of the two fights against Groves, you can’t blame Froch if he does decide to fight Groves again.
