Broner is a Caged Fighter. He needs to let his hands go.

Pretty hard, if not impossible, to reinvent yourself entirely after fighting one way for so long. Broner is basically what he is at this point. He's not going to wake up tomorrow and all of a sudden be a high punch output fighter. That said, if it was possible to rewire his ring brain altogether, he'd be better off as a seek & destroy type guy.

I'm pretty sure algieri has never had problems throwing punches. Didn't he throw like 900 punches vs ruslan?

Broner had every advantage in this fight. From the weight advantage to the lenient ref who let him get away with holding and fouls until finally he had no choice....and he still got beat up

Why don't people ever consider that Broner doesn't have the stamina to let his hands go like they want him to, or that he isn't smart enough to adjust when his opponent isn't at a certain range? It has nothing to do with being held back or in a cage. He just can't do what people keep saying he has to. Yep. Pretty much.

Caged animal who couldn't even trouble Paulie. LOL. Broner is garbage. He's done. He can't make 135 or 140 anymore, and there's no way he belongs at 147. He's a joke now.

Being in shape is Algieri's life. Training and fighting is everything he is about. Broner is more interested in being a rock star than anything. Also he is not as naturally talented as people make him out to be. To me Andre Berto is more naturally talented than Broner ever was. He just has a terrible chin.

I watched the fight again. Broner wanted to walk him down. But every time he would throw his jab, Porter would slip it, duck under it, or shoot his own jab and get inside where he was working Broner. That made him very hesitant for much of the fight. It's not that he's inactive. He's not a smart fighter and cannot adjust when his plan A goes out the door. Exactly. He came in with a game plan that wasnt dynamic, assuming Porter would be an easy target. That all went out the door when Porter darted in and put throwing heavy clobbering combos. Porters footwork was constent and unpredictable. Broner on the other hand was two moves behind Porter in every sequence in that fight. It's like he doesn't have the killer instinct or concentration to focus on simply winning. But I swear he is too busy emulating Floyd with his head in the crowds

Broner puts himself in the cage. One thing I noticed is he gets discouraged and put off his game when a fighter won't let him have his way in the clinch. Porter decided he wasn't just going to get clinched and do nothing and that discouraged Broner because he couldn't settle down and pick a punch to throw. Broner is better as an offensive fighter but he can't figure out how to think 2-3 steps ahead. If he doesn't have space and time to think he gets put off his game and fighter with bounce in their step can surprise him.

Broner fights so much better out of the high guard with offense on his mind. when he shells up he cannot transition back to throwing meaningful shots he can still be defensively responsible (actually more so) out of the high guard vs in the shell.

All the talent some say Broner has is something I can't agree with. He has a decent offense and good power but he seems to have no defense against guys like Porter and Maidana who come at him hard and fast with a two fisted attack. He doesn't slip or block punches and he doesn't counter punch. His talented defense is to grab the other fighter's arms and hang on for dear life. He set a world's record for holding Porter last night and the referee should have put a stop to it right away with warnings and then point deductions and then a DQ if the holding didn't stop. Porter fought a very good smart fight. Broner fought like a scared rabbit trying to avoid punishment. Broner is gun shy.

That made him very hesitant for much of the fight. It's not that he's inactive. He's not a smart fighter and cannot adjust when his plan A goes out the door. Both of Broner's best rounds were followed by rounds where Porter absolutely owned him with the jab and killed Broner's momentum. Dude had no idea what to do about it.

He's been terribly managed. I don't know WTF Haymon and co were thinking moving him up to WW so fast... when he had that crappy performance vs Malignaggi I thought it was clear he didn't belong there, skipping 2 weight classes was stupid. The truth is Broner is way too flat footed, and more importantly he doesn't have the work ethic of an elite fighter, too much posing and not enough substance to anything he does. He doesn't switch his stance up either, that wide ass foot placement he has is terrible for his mobility. He's not small. He can barely make 140. They moved him up because he wasn't going to stay at lightweight anyway, not for long. His problems have nothing to do with size. His problems have everything to do with no longer being huge compared to his opponents because he doesn't have the skill to beat guys his own size. He can't wear down smaller opponents like a bully anymore.

Broner is just not that smart and his offensive variety is limited. He needs to ask himself how bad he truly wants it

The man was trying to hard being a mirror of Floyd Mayweather. He needs to attack and let his hands go more often opening up his opponent to counter shots but he allows his opponent to smother him without a reaction outside of clinching. He lacks heart, not the heart to keep you going but the heart to push through difficult situations and his pure lack of respect for anyone is down right ridiculous. What's crazy is people act as if Mayweather is bad, this fool is down right ignorant!

Broner outboxes Mattysse and provo easy. I think broner is a little better than devon. Even though broner lost to maidana he had some good rounds. It's just thay maidana had a great game plan and swarmed him When has broner ever outbox anybody?? All he did was overpower smaller guys before. Now that he is fighting guys his size he cant do ****. Matthyse and prov would beat him up. Throwing 300 punches for a 12 round fight is pathetic.

he is fighting Robert Guerrero in a battle of gate keepers Book it please Broner probably beats Guerrero but that is not much of a quality win.

we can now firmly place broner in the berto category which is al haymon hype jobs.
