I haven't seen any of his fights, so I'm not aware of his level or skills, his record looks quite decent so I ask you guys if Rees is a fighter who could give Broner some troubles or if Rees could actually win the match.

Or maybe this is just a tune up fight? I don't know.

No, it's not a good fight unless Broner is fighting again 2 months later, against a legitimate opponent. Rees is a solid opponent boxer but barely a c level fighter.

I heard he was trying to get Burns, maybe now that Burns' january fight has been pulled off they could meet on april/may.

probably an easy fight for Broner. never heard of Rees.

No. Broner needs to fight Danny Garcia or Lucas Mathysse.
Second best fighter at 135 is Ricky Burns and Broner would take him apart.

It's a very good fight for Broner when you consider everything else:
Burns and Vazquez are tied up with each other
Abril and Bogere are tied up with each other

Thats 4 of the top 10 or so guys already tied up, Broner is another of the top 10,

For me it Rees is a solid option (only Eduard Troyanovsky would have been a better choice from the possibilities of guys currently at 135). He's a former world champion (WBA at 140) and current European champion, making him a solid opponent. Yeah Broner will beat him, but Broner will beat anyone at 135 at the moment anyway.

I admit you have a point there, but let's accept it would have been much entertaining a Broner v Burns fight, which turned down because of financial issues according to many sources.

I can't argue,I'd have loved Broner v Burns (or Abril or Vazquez because they could all ask him questions) but as said, those guys are tied up. I'd rather Broner fought more often than less often and I see him moving to 140 pretty soon anyway.

Broner v Matthysse, Rios, or Garcia are all more interesting for me than Broner v Burns

Totally agreed, with Broner v Garcia getting the nod IMO.

Rios is too frontal to beat Broner IMO, but it would be very interesting if Broner's chin can hold Rios' bombs
