I was shocked at the nut huggery by showtime, first of all, the punch stats were wrong, I wish a video is made like it was cotto vs floyd showing it.
the guy never even hurt paulie once, for me he lost the fight and was lucky he had al haymon with him
the guy has no movement at all, even floyd was hinting at it, all he does is move forward in a straight line throwing around 40-45 punches per round on average against someone with power, broner would have been knocked out, the guy is b level
one thing he is very young, he needs to be taken out of the firing line imo
berto, ortiz, guerrero and khan would beat him, the only way they lose is if the judges gift broner a win, he is not elite at all
people are saying he is masterful in the attacking art of boxing, I call bull****, Manny Pac was that, power, speed and lots of movement
all broner has is speed and accuracy
americans should be cheering on ward, he oozes class, instead they get behind a berto version 2
I agree
but he yung doe
Nice sig gif lol...
When that dude started singing/rapping whatever hell you call it just about nearly pissed my self laughing!
Nugguuu uuuh aaaiiin wuurrruh buuuuh nuuuuh
Broner has got some serious defensive flaws (and a few offensive ones, namely his relative inactivity). He comes forward in straight lines and doesn't pick angles very well, lacks good head movement (doesn't roll punches really at all), his feet are completely flat and are therefore slow (I understand that he's trading speed for power, but he's going to have to vary this up a bit, the punchers at 147 hit much harder than Paulie), and he fights with his mouth open. Let me repeat that, he literally cannot close his mouth even during a fight. When he gets hit flush by a big puncher, it will hurt him big time. I think that Broner is caught somewhere in the limbo for fighting styles. He hasn't yet figured out quite how he needs to fight and what style he should rely on. Either way, I think that he needs to step down a weight class or two, because if he steps up in terms of competition at 147, he'll lose.
Can you imagine what Matthysse or Maidana would do to him if they land a solid punch in that big open mouth of his? Dear God.

I shouldn't of been shocked but seeing as Malignaggi is the same man who has commentated for them I somehow thought they'd put prospect and business aside and give a fair even unbiased job of the commentary but I was...

His speed was still there..that's about it..
He's trying to perfect the Mayweather shoulder roll/forearm push and pull counter..but it isn't coming together as crisp as Mayweather..and it's making him look flawed..
He's still young and has room for MUCH improvement...the only thing is he talks as if he's elite already and flawless with his skill...so we hold him to the standard that he claims to be in..
What's worse is that he tries to walk down like Mayweather at inappropriate times. He got worn down because he was taking shots.
What's more, is people are saying Broner doesn't have power...he does, he just doesn't have very much in the skill department. He can't land the power like he does against Gavin Rees
Where would he go? he's not a mobile fighter, he doesn't move.
Is Broner better than Berto? put him in with Guerrero and see if he doesn't do the same thing he did to Berto. I wouldn't rule it out.
We'll find out soon enough. Not a good look to struggle with Paulie. I like Paulie, but he's not that guy anymore, and if fans walk away from a fight feeling prime Paulie would have beat you, you have some work to do.

Broner is in a league of his own when it comes to classlessness. I never thought I would wish a guy to get KTFO, but damn Broner is a dick. I thought Broner won in a very close fight but he was a complete ass afterwards. I thought his whole clowning thing was a put on but he showed after the fight its all real. He should not be compared to Mayweather in any aspect. Mayweather is better in every way both in and out of the ring. Mayweather always shows his opponent respect after a fight.
We shouldn't forget this fight was supposed to make Broner look good but instead he was EXPOSED for his deficiencies. Any of the top guys at 140/147 KO him.
Broner, for obvious reasons, didn't respect Paulie's punches. Against someone that can actually hurt him, he wouldn't stand there I don't think. Berto is really dead average, and Broner's proven to be better than that. He may not be able to hang at welterweight, we'll see.

Is he though? If Paulie had any power whatsoever Broner would have got brutalised and probably stopped. Malignaggi was landing 7 punch combos on him at one point.
This right here ^.
Honestly he reminded me more of Berto than anything.
Okay, so WW isn't for Broner right now at all ? Jr WW maybe ? Broner vs Garcia ? Broner vs Matthyse ? I had him winning 7-5 last night. Paulie has all heart and guts. He also hits like my 8 year old daughter. Broner took 4 rounds off. He can not beat the bad boys with his game plan...or lack thereof...Broner will need to show/do much more to beat a Guerrero or Ortiz at WW. :boxing::boxing::boxing:
If Broner was half as good as he says he is he would be twice as good as he really is.He has taken Paulie's place as the weakest welterweight title holder. He is just a good fighter but nothing special.Broner said he does not want to fight Floyd because Floyd is like a big brother to him and he does not want to give Floyd his first loss. Dream on, Broner. Will he defend his welterweight title against a dangerous fighter like Maidana or Thurman or will he fight an easy guy again?
To be fair, Paulie always had a beard but it does seem like Broner doesn't possess the same power at 147. But that's both predictable and understandable. Broner has a lot of work to do if he wants to reach the top. Once Broner faces someone at 147 with power, he will have to use his feet to avoid shots or he will be in some serious wars. On the other hand, most guys at 147 aren't fleet footed like Paulie so they will be easier for Broner to hit too.
The Mayweather comparisons should probably stop for a while. Even when Floyd was walking guys down, he was still defensively responsible. Broner let's guys get too many shots off without moving. I have a feeling that will change against harder punchers but until proven otherwise this is all I can go by. His foot movement is the key to his longevity and success in the sport. Broner may have to train with Floyd Sr.

We got what we expected when the decision was announced, but looking at it objectively, he didn't deserve it.
I don't think power is what he's lacking, it's the pace and the movement that he was short on last night.
Broner should hang out at 140 for a while if he wants his 0 to last.
