Ponce De Leon didn't stand in front of Broner, that's why he did so well. Broner is not fast on his feet but he's a fast counter puncher. I noticed Bogere countered Abril's right hands with his own right hands several times in the fight, that's one of the things Broner does best.Ponce was in front of Broner more times than not and stood in the pocket but used a high guard. Bogere was able to counter because if nothing more, he has fast feet and even leaps in. Broner will have a harder time getting in than Bogere because he tries to walk fighters down and that is not happening with Abril. Broner will get frustrated and lose or win a close decision that even more exposes his lack of footwork.
Here is some telling information. Look at the guys Broner has fought, Ponce, Reese, Demarco, and others who stand RIGHT in front of Broner. Thats because Broner does not have fast footwork. There is a reason they picked these guys for him. A fighter cannot have average footspeed against Abril or a guy like Vasquez. Broner would be made to look more ordinary and his people are not going to allow that while they are building up the Broner hype. Notice how Broner NEVER mentions Vasquez and keeps calling out Burns???? As if it is some sort of guarantee that Burns is going to beat Vasquez in spite of the fact that most would pick Vasquez against Burns. Clear pattern.

I'd favor Broner slightly, but this would be tough for him, very tough.
That's the easiset thing one can say about this fight. The outcome is another matter.
I take Abril, he’s not as fun to watch as Broner but its probably because he’s fighting the real competition in the division. If he fights smart and uses that jab of his, I can’ t see him losing
He has a good jab and it works effectively since he's so long but if you notice most of the time he just stick his arm out there to keep the distance, not really jabbing. Like a range finder.
Broner would definitely beat him. :)
I'm going in the opposite direction as you. When this poll was first posted, I voted Broner. After watching Abril tonight, I've shifted towards Richie.

Broner does everything Abril does better than him. That's the WORST style matchup for someone to face off against.
They are different fighters adrien is faster with more power but Abril is smarter and more skilled.
Fight will be a chess match early on with a lot of feeling out rounds. But later on, Broner begins to figure him out, walk him down, bang him to the body, wear him down and put him away late in the fight.
Lol, ppl have an easy time picking against Broner. Granted this isn't as easy to call as demarco(which most of u except me and a few others got horribly wrong). But how many of u even know abril outside of the Rios fight? Bed a good technician but he had a hard time with hank lundy's athleticism he's gonna have a tall task beating Broner.
