Adrien Broner is short with short arms

and his reach is a grand total of one inch greater than broners...


the only reason why vasquez has been avoided is the style. he's got a horrible tv style, and he's not going to make you look good when you beat him. they're trying to build broner into a star. having him fight such a boring fighter at this stage would be a horrible call. it will turn people off.

Great fighter though and very exciting to watch. There are great fights for him @ 140 but there are a handful of fighters that can beat him.

I think you are hoping this becomes a problem for him.

Do you understand geometry? Punching upwards as Broner would have to do makes his reach even shorter.

Vasquez is a master class boxer. Vasquez was sleep walking against Quintero and he still won comfortable, watch what he does to Gesta who is a bum but a guy that Vasquez will be motivated against like he was against Prescott, Kim and Zappa.

do i understand geometry?

you know who else is 5'10?
antonio demarco.


vasquez is going to need a hell of a lot more than 2.5 inches to beat adrien broner. if you think vasquez is a better boxer and technician than broner you're sorely mistaken.


also, demarco was dropped by broner. he showed a chin, but was eventually taken off of his feet. valero could not drop him. you've called valero the greatest 135 lb puncher of all time in the past ( )

does broner now eclipse him, after dropping wizard chin protector demarco?

Reach doesn't win fights.....

[4Corners]

His reach is 71'', how is that a short reach??? We all talk about how Floyd has a long reach, and it's 72''. Jesus people are dumb....

Miguel Vazquez is a solid fighter, I'd love to see Gamboa get his hands on him after Gamboa beats Beltran in December.

Broner-Burns should be next.
