Boxings got "A REAL PROBLEM" and I ain't mad about it====>GuNzZ

http://boxingfury.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/broner-rodriguez-dance.jpg His name is Adrien Broner @ 22 years old he has a smile and the charisma we have been looking for. This passed Saturday night young Adrien disposed of his opponent Eloy Perez. Eloy Perez was 23-0-2 with 7 knock outs coming into the bout and seemed very confident about his chances this passed Saturday night. Broner looked impressive while scoring his 4th round knock out of Perez. A straight right hand on the button ended the bout with an over hand right behind the ear for good measure. Broner's style reminds me of Floyd to some extent with a little more aggression. He seems to unload his punches and walk his opponents down the same way Floyd had done when he was in the lower weight classes. The way he uses his shoulder to block and roll off punches was very effective against his opponent Perez this Saturday. The right upper cut quick off the shoulder roll was landing with extreme accuracy and power. His lead right hand and hook off the jab combo combined with his hand speed and foot work had Perez and the rest of the boxing world mesmerized. His in the ring antics followed by the post fight interview was simply epic. Broner coined my new favorite phraise "ANYONE CAN GET IT" I really enjoyed watching him perform during the match and after wards with Kellerman in the post fight. We have all been excited by fighters performances in the ring but it is not often that we find this type of talent with the persona to take his career and the sport to the next level. Mayweather maybe Broner's idol but we just may see many kids idolizing Broner the same way Broner has done with Floyd. Sure he needs to pass some more test but I think he beat who his promoter put in front of him and he looked very exciting doing it. Broner just brought back some Ali with the hair combing and pretty boy stuff. This makes for an exciting career to follow from a young age and early point. As for Gamboa and Rios give it time he will take them on @ 130-135lbs. His wins over Daniel Ponce De Leon and Jason Litzau were a good measuring stick for him. Eloy Perez was ranked 4th in the US and 9th in the world @ 130lbs prior to this fight. I wouldn't mind seeing him pass one more test before we match him with the rest of the elite at 130. Celestino Caballero has stepped up to 130lbs before and is a good featherweight. At 35 years old he would be a good measuring stick for Broner and one more test to pass before we pass him with a final grade. .GuNzZ

Also what does the possibility of Broner fighting at 135 have to do with anything concerning a FW??? Since u did quote/highlight that line in New England's post.....

I think the highlighted in red answers why I suggested Caba...As for deserving a title shot at 130lbs? I mean Broner won a vacant title so what did Broner do to deserve a title shot at 130lbs? Cavba would be a great test for a young fighter someone who has not been stopped in a long time who fights hard for 12 rounds and is crafty and can punch. As for Broner..... He actually campaigns at 130 As for Caba..... He's shown with his career history he is not a 130 lb fighter..... And being as though Broner has a title u don't want to see him in with top 10 rated fighters in his own division or a possible unification??? To me age is not a factor once u pick up a strap

Caballero would be an okay "distance" type of fight for Broner. A B- fighter at best. It's a fight where it more than likely would go the distance while Broner would get in some work against an awkward style fighter, who's old and has seen his best days, but is still durable and hasn't been stopped in a long time. not a fan of any of the options posted i think he's the goods but there's no way to know that until we see him in there with good fighters consistently, and eventually move up in weight. perez, ponce, litzau, are a start, but the kid is young and has plenty of time. i'm sure he's looking for the big fights, and they are not at 130. he beat the **** out of perez. i watched the fight again last night without the excitement of seeing it live and got a chance to really get a look at broner's stuff. the kid is very fast and he hits very hard at 130. he's also huge. no reason he cant fight at 135. he looks to have at least a decent chin. if he can fight like that for 12 rounds and takes punches well he's going to be a handful. love the nickname"the problem." couldnt be higher on the kid. #driving the bandwagon I agree with you that he can and could fight at 135 and possibly 140 with his frame kid has a very wide back and shoulders. He has good power and skill needs some more polishing though. Fights like Gamboa and Rios are too dangerous for him at this stage. Granted we all want to see the best fight the best but I think Gamboa and Rios can fight it out they both did enough too see each other in the4 ring right now. I think they will test one another. Remember Gamboa is 30 and Rios is 25. Broner is just 22 years old. I think another 18 months fo staying active and fighting on HBO events will bring him up to the level of prestige he needs to land fights like Rios and Gamboa. What has Caba ever done at 130 to warrant a title shot??? I think the highlighted in red answers why I suggested Caba...As for deserving a title shot at 130lbs? I mean Broner won a vacant title so what did Broner do to deserve a title shot at 130lbs? Cavba would be a great test for a young fighter someone who has not been stopped in a long time who fights hard for 12 rounds and is crafty and can punch.

I proposed earlier in my thread that Broner's next opponent should be Celestino Caballero. Caballero campagins at 126lbs and has stepped up to 130lbs for other fights. What has Caba ever done at 130 to warrant a title shot???

I like supporting young fighters like Broner and Canelo who have a lot of haters because of one thing or the other. Broner will make it to the big stage, he has the skills, power, and most importantly the personality to do it.

I proposed earlier in my thread that Broner's next opponent should be Celestino Caballero. Caballero campagins at 126lbs and has stepped up to 130lbs for other fights. A common opponent is Jason Litzau @ 130lbs. Caballero lost a SD in ten rounds against Jason Litzau who was a 13-1 under dog. It was a great fight and Caballero comes to fight every time out. He is taller then most 126-130lb fighters and has good power and skills. He was talked about as one of the best at 126 in boxing in recent times. He won the rematch with Jonathan Victor Barros after a very close split decision loss. He captured the WBA World featherweight title (126lbs). He has since defended it against Satoshi Hosono winning a unanimous decision. Caballero has fought to a decision in 6 of his last 7 fights and would stretch out Broner the full 12 rounds. I think this would be be a good test for the 22 year old watch highlights from their common opponent. Yuo can see Caballero had trouble and lost a decision to Litzau where Broner caught him with a straight right hand against the rope and was able to TKO him in the first round. Broner was waiting on the counter punch and shot the right hand over the top of the jab the entire round until he was able to land the big one that finished him. Caballero was throwing wide punches and was hurt a time or two in the fight himself.

he's no floyd but he's no fraud either. I agree he has some things he does sim but for all do purposes he is a fresh breath into boxing's lungs. I really enjoyed watching him perform both in and out of the ring Saturday night.

I used to hate on Broner because of the way he acts but I got over it, lol; hes actually pretty entertaining compared to Floyd whos just cringeworthy at times. Hes obviously got a lot of talent and hopefully he progresses well, he certainly still has a lot of time to do so being so young His wittiness in comparison to Floyd is less insulting and more just bigging himself up. He is not talking bad about others just giving himself compliments like Ali......Lefty

I've become a big Broner fan in the last year,probably my favorite active fighter today but let's not get carried away here. He is improving every fight and like been said is hungry but we still haven't seen him against an elite opponent.A world class pressure fighter would show us how good his defensi really is and maybe shows us if he has cracks in the chin and heart depertments.Let's not forget Rodriguez(a poor pressure fgihter) had him in some trouble in the 2nd round. The division ain't loaded but it ain't that poor either,but it's gonna be hard getting the guy rated by most as no 1,Uchiyama to come in the States or Broner in Japan. I would like to see him against Salgado and Burgos.Maybe even Escobedo to test a interesting style match up.Don't want to see any Rocky Juarez type opponents.

Kid is real good. Love the **** talking and the hair brushing. Could do without the in ring dancing but the way he plugged for dancing with the stars was priceless. Needs to clean out division this year then move to 135.

i wanna see him fight rios right now. Rios biggest test up until this point has been Anthony Peterson. Let me see Broner fight someone on that level and see how he does. He is still 22 and on the job learning is evident. Rios is going up against Gamboa next so lets see how Rios fares against him =======>GuNzZ

He is brimming with talent, and at 22 years old, wow, the world is his oyster. However, he has plenty more to prove and should keep his head down and keep working hard. Cut ANY corner and he’ll be given a wakeup call. Let see how they match him in the next few fights -----GuNzZ
