Who!?!

[Raps08-09 Champ]

Lol, so many fighters at 135/140 and he fights an unknown?

[AddiX]

Broner is getting the andre Berto treatment.

At 140 yeah, but at 135, there's not much. Rees is a contender at 135 and even then, as far as skill level, Broner is on another level. I'd love to see Broner move up in weight to face a Garcia/Khan type but if he sticks at 135, Rees is about as well he can do competition wise.

And this chump still has the nerve to scream out in public, " I still got my O, I still got my O." Psshhh!

He should move up in weight. He has no business in the 135 division.

It's his/his promoter's choice. I mean, yeah there isn't much competition at 135, seeing how he beat DeMarco pretty handily. No harm in another "tune-up" fight before seeing if he climbs up in weight once again. The fights at 140 will still be there when does decide to move up.

It's al haymons choice.

I wasn't joking when i said he was getting the andre Berto treatment (also a haymon fighter). Berto fought a good 10 easy fights straight on hbo.

I'd think they want to scale Broner up faster. Boxing needs a new face along with Canelo pretty soon.

Well, just like canelo, unless it's a big name, they'll both be getting easy fights.

As long as hbo and Showtime want to treat these guys like royalty, golden boy will take full advantage.

Either of these guys on p4p lists is ridiculous.

Bump

[Raps08-09 Champ]

That entrance by Broner was embarrassing. He tries to hard.

Props to Rees. He got stopped but at least he came to fight unlike Broner's last 3 opponents who were all scared of him.
