"If I'm Broner I would be very interested in this fight, because it 's a very winnable fight against a credible opponent, and it insures he will be a factor at 135. Seeing that Gary Shaw represents Demarco I can see the fight getting made, but in contrast to say Linares who Arum represents. If Linares gets a rematch and wins, then they can kiss any chances of meaningful fights there goodbye. Vazquez, Rios, Gamboa, and Antillon all Top Rank."
The Truck
And so the next day hype begins.Broner seems to be very good but he hasnt fought anyone great or even very good yet.I would like to see him fight Argenis Mendez because the Uchiyama fight aint happening
Broner will benefit from 130 and 135 being so weak. And his threats being Haymon or Top Rank fights. So he will not face any threat at all. The only likely threat that there is a chance of facing is Uchiyama i doubt that fight ever gets made tho.
smh at the ppl who think broner would lose to demarco. smh smh smh...different class of fighter. i suggest some of u go watch the valero, adjaho fights. demarco isnt good at all. his win over linares was all linares being a freddy roach fighter instead of being himself. roach ruined him
Broner kills him. Demarco has looked so average against Valero & Linares. He's not made for prime time. He doesnt have that extra gear. That Valero performance was sad and he didnt win against Linares as much as Linares lost the fight. He gave that fight away by brawling but he was outclassing Demarco easily
I love the fight and favor Broner I doubt he would try and straight slug with DeMarco like Linares.
But he gets pushed big time.
"Exactly, and these are these are the type of fan friendly fights where everyone wins. Broner gets his shot @ 135 against a very game champ, and HBO can continue to build him up off of it. Demarco can make a statement, get exposure and possibly beat a rising star while he and Shaw make good money."
Linares is with GBP, not Top Rank.
I like Broner in both fights. Dude impressed me tonight.
"Outside of Linares and Demarco, Arum controls 135 and Broner is with Haymon so how many meaningful fights can he get there?"
DeMarco has good chances of beating Broner because of size. Right now Broner is huge for the 130 division (which by the way is very weak) but DeMarco is huge for 135 so I can certainly see DeMarco bullying Broner and exploiting the poor defense he shows when throwing those wide hooks.
Also DeMarco could certainly deal with Broner's power. Right now I see Broner like Nonito, fighting smaller and weaker fighters, but once he moves up against opponents his own size he's going to have problems.
"If he continues to improve his defense, then I think he can bang with anyone and outclass most at 135. Broner is a pretty big SFW right now, and I think at his age he hasn't fully filled out yet."
...Demarco stops Broner
and Linares outclasses him
"Demarco got smashed by Valero, and Linares is good but having Roach in his corner is a liability. Broner may punch just as hard as Valero, and is 100x faster. Linares is a good technical boxer, but so is Broner with better reflexes and greater power. He stops both of them."
