For those of you who do not know Adrien Broner, you better get familiar quick! Already a star in his own mind, Broner is close to becoming a household name with the likes of Mayweather and Pacquiao. Some people do not like his cocky attitude, or his showmanship, but those are some of the main reasons why anyone knows who he is. Well that and his Elite boxing ability. This Saturday night he takes on Gavin Rees, a very experienced 32 year old fighter. And even though Broner is a big favorite, that is not stopping Rees from talking s**t!

According to the Examiner, Rees was quoted as saying,
“He shows fighters no respect, but he hasn’t even earned the right to do that. What has he done? I’ve been in the States for five weeks now and American boxing fans don’t like him. They tell me they hope I beat him and shut him up. I think he acts like a fool for no reason and no one really likes that. Who has he fought? I’ve seen his fights and half of those guys just stood in front of him letting him dictate the pace of the fight. I’m not going to let him do that. This is the first fight that I have trained away from home because I’m going to show him I’m no walk in the park.”
Wooooo…Rees is letting those shots off! But still, if he wins, it will be a pretty big upset. Tune in live at 3:30 today for the weigh-in. Click the link below to go straight there, which will be active at 3:15pm.
