It also helps that he's significantly larger than his opposition and has yet to face a puncher.
thank you, that further proves my point. the fact that his opponents cant hurt him and that hes so confident (rightfully so) that he can and will take them out himself makes him worry less about any shots he might be giving up in the process.
the kid is just so talented. that he can fit that much into a 135lb body is nothing short of extraordinary. demarco was a big, strong, durable lw with better than average power but broner is just on another level. scary talented.
Hate to disappoint some of you but:

This Story Was BULLSH1T, Seems like this was a Spam Job for a guy to get views for his site and listeners for his show....IT WORKED! Great Promotion for Spence though!
/thread
people will still believe it lmao
broner has very good if not great defense, the reason he gets hit as much as he does is his approach. hes a search and destroy fighter, when you put so much emphasis on offense your defense is bound to suffer.
for a guy who spends much of the fight in the pocket, with is feet planted, throwing bombs and putting his shots together he doesnt get hit much at all. that broner can be so aggressive and not get hit more is a credit to his defense because most fighters with that style get hit significantly more.
also, whenever he does decide to box and be more defensive he barely gets touched. some of the perceived leaks in his D are by design, broner is very clever and an excellent counter puncher. he likes to think a step ahead of his opponent, set traps and catch them when they least expect it.

if broner's defense is leaky i'd hate to see what a guy with bad defense looks like.
To me it looks like he has a similar problem (though not as severe) as Cotto when he tried to use the shoulder roll. His reflexes don't match up with the nature of the move and he deflects the punch a little to late(better than berto who deflects it too early). He benefits from his size and the fact that he hasnt really been in the ring with a devastating puncher so he never really pays for it. Its why I wonder how he will fare with a heavy puncher where the difference between him being on his feet or his ass depends on how well he times it.
I'm not sure why people are talking about this now. This sparring session was a long time ago and Adrien, from what I know, was not knocked out. He was stung pretty bad from what I was told but not down and out and like I said, this was not something that happened recently.
Its just another way to hate on Broner. I don't care much for his personality, but I will watch every one of his fights. This kid is flat out fun to watch.
I don't think it's leaky in general, I think it's more leaky for the style he uses. He tries to pull off the shoulder roll, Floydesque defence, but gets hit too much for what i've usually seen with that style.
he certainly does get hit more than pretty boy floyd and jim toney

Well leaky is better than bad, there are just holes in what he does. His offense is pretty good though so that covers part of the leakiness because he can get guys before they can exploit those holes.

Broner has leaky defense and has explosive offensive ability. That right there is pretty much the fun combination, because no matter what happens somebody is getting hit a lot and possibly both guys.

Entertaining, talented, sometimes funny, but no Mayweather.
As big a douche bag as I think Floyd is, he's proven himself plenty of times. And while I agree Broner is nothing close to him at this point and will probably not become that great, I'd rather watch him fight than a Floyd any day of the week.
LOL..Dude..They're trolling you. And your falling for it.
No I'm not. I knew that was a joke and responded with another joke. Boring day on NSB so gotta do something while the wife is out. And this thread is where the action is at
I was hoping for a canelo trout thread even changed my avi for the run but I guess not
Give it an hour and posters will be saying "RiC-DiC saw him in ICU and said he was half dead"
LOL..Dude..They're trolling you. And your falling for it.
lol....adrien is that you!?
No just telling you what I'm hearing but if you would rather run with the other haters who want to truly believe it then go right ahead.
this is great if true and i really hope it is. just what adrien needs rofl!
Fighters at mayweather gym saying its not. are they lying who knows but 20+ pages and over 21K views on NSB and all over other sites and twitter has gone insane soi wouldn't say anything just let the masses talk about me. :nana:
