Rees owns Broner.

At yesterday's press conference to promote Saturday's Atlantic City fight with Gavin Rees, Broner tried to belittle the Welsh challenger, referring to him as 'Cabbage Rees' and saying he didn't know his name.

After the passing tumbleweed had been cleared and publicity matters concluded, it appears that 'The Rock' had the last laugh as the fighters left the building - at least according to Rees' trainer, Gary Lockett.

"So, after Adrien Broner disrespecting Gavin Rees in yesterdays Press Conference in New York," Lockett posted on his Facebook account, "my personal highlight was after the Presser, we were outside on the street and Broner has walked up to Gavin Rees and said 'you better be f**kin' ready Cabbage Rees'?

"Gav said 'go and pull your jeans from up around your ankles you f**king muppet' So Broner has not known what to say, then muttered 'gonna f**k you up', then, flustered, he has jumped into his chauffer driven people carrier and dropped his phone on the pavement and smashed it!!!

"We were all rolling around laughing!!! This Broner is possibly the most disrespectful guy in Boxing."

Highlighted the humour there that Americans would not understand but this is what a lot of British think about these gangsta rap type individuals in America. Still I see Rees getting broken down in style and then the ref stopping the fight after yet another brave , couragous effort from a Brit.

Course, i know they're at very different levels technically, and that good, brave British fighters have a habit of getting beaten up over the pond, but i still don't think that price is realistic, Rees is very, very tough, and Broner's not fought too many world class operators (i'm not claiming Rees is one).

Technically, i'm a Broner fan. Personally, i don't understand why he's going down the Mini Mayweather route. His ability should speak for itself, but he seems eager to develop almost WWE-like persona. Not really a fan of that. I'll always side with the genuine guy over the showpony.
