Should Broner go back down in weight?

He should go back down in competition. Then you'll see the real AB.

Weight class doesnt matter This guy has many flaws, a trainer change is more beneficial to him He needs to learn basic footwork and defense, he needs to cut his childhood trainer loose and find someone who will work with him and teach him basics.

He needs to take care of business at 140... Frankly I don't think he can but if he did, his stock would rise back up. It's one defeat his career isn't over let's see how he responds

Man, tht lil gangsta cant stick it at 140, its a tougher division, ALvarado, Prov, Garcia, Matt are the guys tht will kill him. Guys like Peterson will just outbox. Not to mention some good names out side of the top 10. Broner best work his way into a few more paydays and retire

The fact this guy was unbeaten (numerous gifts), heavily hyped, a three weight world champion and in the P4P top 10 was a travesty for the sport. Boxing was a laughing stock having this guy around. I hope he's mentally destroyed to the point that he does a lacy. The bold is totally and completely true. The last is just plain ole mean bro.:alcoholic

If he can make lightweight still, he should. He has relied his entire career on his size and power, an advantage at welterweight or even junior welterweight he won't have. Staring at your sig cuz I can't believe the stupidity of it. WTF was Broner thinking....did he want to evade the punch, did he want to counter? This mutha****a drops his hands against one of the biggest punchers in the sport, and of course gets put on his ass.

Aside from the fact that it's debatable whether he could physically do it, it would also be an admission of weakness, that his 147 title was mostly a joke, that he can't cope with the big boys at WW. Even if he did go down to 140, he's gonna be back at 147 within a year or so anyway, so you would wonder if it's worth it. This was the problem with skipping 140 entirely to take that WW belt. It's because anyone worth a damn at 140 hit too hard and GBP knew it. He passed up Danny and Mattyse, as well as Peterson and even Khan ffs. He jumps up to WW to face one of the lowest KO ratio's in boxing and he barely eeked out a win. The fact is he had to step up at some point and I'm glad GBP did it now, I hate Broner but he is better than Berto and he can come back from this. Berto has less power and horrid defense. AB stil has good pop and he is good defensively, no one is going to be hit as little as Floyd but Broner does a good imitation.

He was 165 in the ring! Dude sweats off 20+ pounds of water so he can beat up midgets like Eloy Perez.

The money is at 147

Absolutely. Or even a couple of fights down at 135 first, Gamboa being one.

Broner lacks the KO power at WW for sure.

He needs to improve his footwork more than anything. The weight class wont matter if he keeps fighting like he did tonight. 100% his footwork is so average. He showed no real defensive reflexes or instinct either. He can't do his routine of posing while walking down small guys at 147 it won't work and these guys won't respect him. He has to start to respect the sport and his craft in order to improve. He believed he made it before he really had and now he's been brought back to earth. Focus on boxing and improving and go from there. A new trainer would help as his corner seemed to offer nothing - he didn't even seem to respect them. He needs a trainer that will be tough on him and then we will see what he is made of.

garcia and mathysse would ktfo him @ 140 He will never fight another Argentina fighter again

Not at all, he's a bonafide Welterweight. He lost because of a combination of the following: Over confidence/believing his own hype Not talking Maidana seriously Not taking boxing seriously outside of the ring No footwork Not being able to adjust It had nothing to do with being undersized at WW>

Still my dude...I think he needed this humble pie though....he'll be back!!

Yes, 147 is too big for him

Moved up way too fast to test a heavy hitter like maidana

He's obviously not the same fighter at WW, and let's face it he moved up in weight classes way too quick. What for the money is @ WW, Garcia and Matthysse will be @ WW soon enough. He's going to fill out into a WW eventually.

If he can make lightweight still, he should. He has relied his entire career on his size and power, an advantage at welterweight or even junior welterweight he won't have.

Back to beating up on hobbits for AB.
