i had him winning by at least two rounds.
the person who had to make the showing in this fight, broner, didn't. ponce de leon came in, stuck to his game plan and didn't deviate from it too much, enough to win on my scorecard.
broner really didn't make a good account for himself. i'm not going to hold his whole career on this fight, it just wasn't a winning performance and his stock went down a bit.
ponce de leon, in my eyes, won this fight. he showed more than the young flashy gunslinging prospect.
broner has the skills and if he put them together with an effective attack, he would be giving a lot of people nightmares, IMHO, but how he goes about it he's only going to be a fighter that people could careless either way if they see him fight again or not, he isnt creating a demand for himself. he needs to correct that if he wants to be able to put a big price tag on his name. best of luck, i hope for his sake he figures it out, or someone tell broner what is up.
