Im seeing similarities with DLH-Pacquaio and Chavez Jr-Canelo in Broner here.
-Broner could not make 142 in February, gave his opponent a take it or leave it offer of 147. Didnt even try 144, 145 ect.
- Broner was looking fat as hell as recently as a few months ago.
- Broner weighed 144 a week ago and weighed in 138.75 yesterday.
DLH and Chavez both made weight easily but spent their entire camps focused on weight and gave up a lot of strength to make it. Broner looks frail and lost a ton of weight in a short period of time.
I had a feeling Garcia would stop him late regardless but it surprised me that Broner came in so light. It does make you think that the threat of he fine might have adjusted his priorities a bit.
I think Broner is a class fighter but Mikey is just so technically perfect and on the crest of a wave and Broner has that habit of waiting for counters whilst the other guy gets off with a couple of scoring shots. Paulie came close to winning with his jab popping it out against a fairly statuesque Broner.
I am excited for the fight but I think it's conceivable that Garcia outboxes him and there is a late corner stoppage with Broner not having enough left. I hope a fight breaks out and then Broner becomes extremely dangerous.
This isnt an excuse for Broners upcoming stoppage loss. He is responsible for being in shape and taking care of himself. Im not really a fan of either fighter. I just call it like I see it. Just putting that out there because I seen other people say broner looks weak and then people saying that was a pre-emptive excuse in case he loses. I do want to see garcia face crawford after this though.
I dunno if I can buy into this, my fag.
Since that thread where you posted pictures of boxers from your "personal collection", I can't take anything you say seriously unless it's accompanied by pictures.
:lol1:
You could be right but I think Broner is in top shape and ready to fight.Dropping from 144 to 138.75 in the last week isn't unusual because he probably dried out to make weight as most boxers do. It's water weight that he will put back on in the next 30 hours. He will probably weigh about 155 pounds on fight night and have a weight advantage over Garcia. If Garcia wins I will give him credit for beating Broner at his best. I give Broner a good chance to win but I favor Garcia to win because of better skills. Broner is much bigger and he hits very hard.
