Former three division world champion Adrien Broner landed 46% of his power shots in his last 3 fights (vs. Carlos Molina, Paulie Malignaggi and Marcos Maidana). He needs to get close to do damage - 15 of his 19 landed punches per round were power shots (non-jabs). Emanuel Taylor averaged 27 jabs thrown per round in his last 4 fights (vs. Karim Mayfield, Chris Algieri, Victor Cayo, Serrano)- he'll need to employ that stick if he has any chance of upsetting Broner.

Former three division world champion Adrien Broner (28-1, 22KOs) was flying high when he entered the ring for last December's fight against Marcos Maidana. In one of the year's biggest upsets, Maidana dropped Broner twice and captured his WBA welterweight title with a twelve round unanimous decision. After the fight was over, Broner cut down on his late night partying and dropped down in weight to 140-pounds - a division he skipped when he jumped from 135 to 147 in June of 2013 against Paulie Malignaggi.

All week long, Adrien Broner and Emmanuel Taylor have threatened to inflict massive amounts of harm upon each other. They finally get to let their fists do the talking when they meet Saturday evening at the U.S. Bank Arena in Broner's hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. The bout airs live on Showtime, topping a televised tripleheader (9:30PM ET). Broner (28-1, 22KOs) won his first major title at home, stopping Vicente Rodriguez in three rounds to claim a super featherweight belt in Nov. '11. The title reign also ended at home, as Broner was stripped of the belt at the scales after failing to make weight prior to his July '12 bout with Vicente Escobedo.

"It is the quiet ones you have to worry about." The usually soft-spoken Taylor keeps to himself in the build-up to fights throughout his career. It looked as though it would be the same thing as Taylor did very little talking, while the brash and outspoken Broner was the more vocal of the two. That all changed at the press conference on Thursday when both jawed at one another. That is when Broner reached for Taylor's neck in an attempt to choke him. That seemed to wake up the quiet Taylor, as he showed he was not about to be intimidated. Taylor also wanted to show he has equal bite to his bark.

NEW YORK – Chris Algieri is well aware of why Adrien Broner is heavily favored to beat Emmanuel Taylor on Saturday night in Cincinnati. Algieri knows as well as anyone, though, that Taylor has the ability to pull off what would amount to a huge upset in their 12-round, 140-pound main event at U.S. Bank Arena (Showtime; 9:30 p.m. ET). The unbeaten WBO junior welterweight champion out-boxed Taylor thoroughly in their ESPN2 main event Feb. 14 in Huntington, N.Y., yet walked away from their 10-rounder very impressed with Taylor’s skills.
