This is a good matchup broner vs Lucas . It's a dangerous fight for both boxers. If it's on the mayweather card it can sell good too. USA vs. Argentina. I can't say who I think will win but it should be fireworks. If either boxer can pull off a Win it will do wonders of getting his carear back on track.
Lara won the fight he had clean effective punches. He is a "boring" (not to me) highly technical fighter. Who cares if he uses his legs it's boxing the sport NOT Brawling. Canelo got embarrassed and out worked. Close fight but Lara should of won. Bad day for boxing as a sport politics come first again
Broner is a better fighter than he was a year ago. Going back to DC to train with Barry Hunter has helped a lot. He throws his hands more and seems to be taking fight preparation a little more serious. Cant call him an A level fighter until he beats an A level fighter. Hopefully he can get this Matthystee bout and show what he is made of.
140 is stacked he has a lot of names to choose from. Could he beat herra, garcia, matthystee, molina, zab
Khan just tweeted FM saying get broner to fight me after I knock him out he is coming after FM.
FM retweets that and then tells Khan if he wins he will fight him.
Khan is acting like he didn't ask for that fight first saying Floyd is full of shi t. He is just trying to make it seem like he is not fighting broner because Floyd told him to. Grow up
Khan vs Broner is a great fight. Khan been in the gym too long and broner been out of it. Khan beats broner pretty easy
I have no idea Mayweatherfan11 I hope this is just a publicity stunt. Mayweather n Marcos are game Seems khan is game to fight broner.
The usual vocal Broner seems reluctant to jump in this twitter war going on saying he will beat or fight Khan. Think he is worried any ??
Man I hope this fight happens. I'm a broner fan but I don't think he has a chance. He is way too slow for Khan and he can't muscle him around like he can guys at 135lbs. I saw broner in real life he is small.
This is exactly the point I tried to make earlier. Why is Khan saying Floyd is chatting rubbish when he was the one that tweeted Mayweather first telling him he wants to fight Broner followed by Mayweather if he gets the the win? Now that Floyd has responded by telling Khan he will fight him if he beats Broner, all of a sudden Khan is saying Floyd is talking rubbish. Makes no sense.
It's funny watching people get their pantyose in a twist over Mayweather not fighting an opponent (Khan) who didn't in any way deserve such a fight. The same fighter that won't fight an opponent (Brook)........ because he thinks he (Brook) doesn't deserve it.
Khan said he was "advised" not to take a title fight in the HOPE he'd land a bigger score for doing nothing? I say that makes him a fool and it isn't the way I like to see boxing work. You want polls and phone-ins? Stick to x-factor. You should get fights by winning fights (or at least having them) not votes.
Well Said!
I saw him fight on the Lamont Peterson card. He was fighting a tomato can but he busted him up pretty well and dropped him once I think. He is fast has decent power but like everyone in band camp has weak footwork. I can see him working his way up to becoming a number one contender.
Floyd seen the broner fight at least once so that he doesn't watch tape line isn't going to work. Floyd knows that he is coming out swinging as soon as the bell rings. He will be ready
That was Floyd getting ready for the Cotto fight. But I rember on hbo 24/7 for oscar de la Hoya he wasn't allowing taping of his sparring. I just want to know who his sparring partners are. Getting caught in sparring isn't a bad thing it's better than getting caught in a live match
Im a broner fan and let me say Broner wants no parts of Khan. Khan had been practicing how to fight around someone with the mayweather shell style. Broner will be a warm up. Khan is too fast for broner lack of movement with his wide stance and no head movement. Broner only chance would be to hit a danny garcia and get lucky
I'm a broner fan and I got Khan winning by UD. For these reasons alone.
1. Khan been working out for the Floyd fight since December. Broner can't tell you what a gym looks like. The clubs appearances are too important.
2. Broner only let's his hands go really when the other guy stops punching. Broner work rate is wayy too low. Khan will handcuff broner and will never give him the opportunity to get tht big shot off.
3. I've seen broner in real life the guy is small he isn't big at all 147 is not his weight class. He weighed in vs marcos at 144. His power has not come up with him he needs to think about a catch weight.
4.did I mention broner hasn't seen a gym in forever
It would be a great fight and spice up the floyd card in May. I want to see this fight happen. I don't understand why fighters would flee from being on a floyd card the exposure your going to get will be epic.
Good write up OP. I agree with a lot of what you said except one major thing. I honestly truly don't believe broner can bounce back from this loss. It takes a whole lot of mental fortitude discipline and character to do that. I'm not saying broner isn't athletic or has a skill set but his biggest weakness is his character. It's that little guy in the back of your head telling you what to do with your life and believe it or not it shows in the ring. How you can take sacrifices, handle losses, diet properly when your not fighting etc.. Broner got beat down tore up hurt and completely walked through last night. AB got humiliated and humbled on the grand stage for the whole world to see last night. His one moment for me to see that he had some character left (or started growing some )and that he was going to make this a great learning experience he blew by running out and not doing a post fight interview. A loss like this takes a big chunk out of you. When manny got ko I knew it was a lucky punch but I also knew he had the mental toughness to bounce back. Does anyone see that in broner?
AB always said when he gets pushed we will see another side of him. I saw none of that last night no footwork he claimed to have and a mediocre Floyd imitation that he either needs to go to the mayweather boxing club and learn properly or ditch all together and get back to his fighting style thts natural to him. When the poop hit the fan for him you never saw him shell up every time he got caught is when he was trying to look like Floyd. Only time he won rounds is when he dug deep and fought like he does naturally and coming at you. But by the time he adjusted in round 5 it was too late. He already took a beating been knocked down and gone mentally.
AB looked good physically at this weight I must say. But sucking weight and beating little guys masked a lot of problems masked problems for him. I don't think he should move down in weight because it's the easy way out. Rathar see him develop a skill set so if he ever is pushed he can fall back on that.
My tips for here on out.
The media is going to crucify you and you will be the laughing stock of boxing for a long time character development is needed to handle that. Please learn some.
Make a decision of either trying to master the mayweather shell and developing footwork . Or by expanding and doing what is natural to you.
Stop trying to be a rapper. Your most successful at boxing which gives you your fame in the first place go back and give it 100% and stop treating it like a part time job. The whole time he was on tour Maidiana was in the gym and it showed.
I hope Broner can bounce back from this and I actually pray his jaw wasn't broken.
But I'm a realist and I don't see him making a successful come back. Does anyone else feel like this too?

I actually feel sorry for the guy. After the first knockdown he look on his face I knew he was gone mentally. Broner probably doesn't save his money, have any real friends around him who wouldn't be there if he didn't pay them. Looking at his rants on twitter he can seem emotionally weak. Think of having an ego the size of the twin towers and they get knocked down in front of the whole world to see. Your never the same after that.
Broner has a huge ego and that got beat to a pulp. But at the end of the day he is human like everyone here. He has to look at himself in the mirror to his kids and now to the added benefit of his job the world. As I said before someone close to him needs to look after him before he hurts some else or himself. Loss is a hard pill to swallow for spoiled brats like him.
He is from Philly but has PR heritage he is showing PR some homage and giving them some shine. He will be fine.
Is he Miguel Cotto no but he is something
He mentioned mike stafford in the interview yesterday last kinda like he is apart of the team but isn't doing much work. Kinda just still there because he was there from the beginning
It has to be Floyd mayweather just because he is at the top and his work ethic talent and how he embarrasses his opponents not from k.o. But just out boxing them. Is what we like to call the master of the sweet science
It's hard to continue to watch boxing after this kinda b.s. Lara clearly won. They were too scared to even really bring up the compubox numbers throughout the fight since the golden boy was down.
Keep ur head up Lara
I got a Floyd win by UD. I don't see Floyd really knocking anyone out anymore less they have the heart of Victor Ortiz. I think this fight will look like Robert Guerro vs FMJ. But I see Maidiana landing some better shots. A lot of people are counting Maidiana out but I think he is tougher than a lot of people think. He gets better every fight and I doubt he was 100 during the broner fight seeing how he easily ran through him.
I personally rather see khan vs brook than khan vs mayweather... Think it would be a more exciting fight. If Khan wins it will put a valid stamp on his record for a mayweather bout. I don't think Khan will win though Brook is just too much
