Broner vs. Mathysse @ 140

Its a 50/50 fight as of right now today. But for every year this fight doesnt happen the scales will tip further in Broners direction as Broner developes. Next year it would be a 55/45 type pic em fight. And so on and so on.

The mix of Defense and Offense makes Broner a tough fight for anyone at 140. A fight between the two of them would be huge but I would give the advantage to Broner. This. I also think Broner's speed advantage would get him a late KO. I have a feeling that if/when Broner loses that everyone will become a fan of his because he's not gonna go out like a sucka.

Just think about DeMarco and then Rees. Figure it out, and get back to us real boxing fans and post a real boxing opinion.

Matthysse has a punchers chance, that's it. Broner can do it all. Matthysse can be tamed and outboxed. Broner imo would crush his ass. Matthysse won't out weight Broner by 20 lbs either.

It's definitely better than most professionals, that's for sure. But he makes enough mistakes now for it to be very costly for him against an opponet who is a lethal puncher who thrives on luring you into exchanges. The only problem I have with Broner fans is that they act as if he's some kind of Floyd Mayweather or Pernell Whitaker type guru of defense, which he clearly isn't. Where did you see that?

I got Garcia, Rios and Lucas all over Broner

I think B- defence in "pro" boxing is damn good!!! It's definitely better than most professionals, that's for sure.

I think his defense is very good considering hes an offensive minded fighter who puts mustard on his shots and goes for the ko. However Floyd Mayweather he definitely is not.

:lol1: @ Broner's defense being a problem for anyone at 140. Don't get me wrong, he's not terribly flawed defensively, but he gets hit way too much for his fans to be hyping him up like some kind of defensive wizard as his fans seem to be doing. His offense is A+ His defense is B- I think B- defence in "pro" boxing is damn good!!!

Whose defense doesn't look good when they have a slow ass guy half their size infront of them? He is pretty good offensively but his defense is not that great & I think his footwork is gash. I am sure he probably is better defensively but when you've got guys like Rees and Eloy Perez in front of you, you can afford to throw defense out of the window. Would rather see him fight Ajose, Khan, Soto, Guzman or somebody tbh Lucas as of right now wrecks him.

I go with Lucas by KO

I think Matthysse's style gives Broner huge problems, mainly because he is fundamentally sound (ie doesnt lung in/ leave big gaps to counter), and he isnt fussed if his punches land on target or on gloves because he knows that he will hurt whatever. I see Matthysse punching to Broners arms and shoulders and breaking him down in the early rounds, and as Broner slows his punches hitting the target more for either a late stoppage or at least very hairy moments for Broner in the last few rounds. I think Broner will have some success and will undoubtably catch Matts with good shots, but having not shown his power or durability at 140 (as opposed to Lucas) it is difficult to pick him in this one. However Broner is still young and by the time he reaches 140 he could have shown us more of what hes about and opinions may change. But until then i got Matthysse.

Lucas crushes him and would knock Rees out in a single round straight after.

This thread. Again? Same prediction as the last thread: If Broner carries his strength and power he takes this fight over a LONG HARD fought decision.

Until I see Broner against an opponet who is actually a danger to him, I'm going with Matthysse by TKO. He's just too sound both defensively and offensively for me to think otherwise right now.
