    Boring. Had decent skills but hardly used them. He's not going to put asses in the seats fighting like that, and I can already say I would not go out of my way to ever watch him fight again

      mayweather started this one punch potshotting when he was already established and 2 divisions above where he started. like I said in another thread, he's way more smoke gainer than floyd mayweather.

      broner is still scared, he's boring, doesn't lead well and needs plenty of seasoning.

        The left hook to the body was there for him, he never threw it. Most of his straight right hands were arm punches, he could have committed to them more. I'd say his skills are decent.

          It's easy to look like you have a skill-set when you're against De Leon.

              He's a good "fighter", not a good "boxer". If you ever thought De Leon had a great set of skills, you're a complete idiot.

                My thoughts is..he lost to a Featherweight, is unnecessarily ****y, and his style is boring!!!...

                his defense obviously wasn't great, he got tagged, his offense is lacking, he tried to be the counter puncher when he had every physical advantage possible, and his arrogance was horrible..

                My Conclusion is he's got talent, but nothing that I witnessed that I'd consider great, he'll get tagged and stopped really soon if he doesn't improve on those simple mistakes..

                    i totally agree with you. he's got decent skill and lots of talent for being only 21. we'll see where he takes it. would be a shame if he ended up like zab or something with that ****** shit... he seems like that type of guy, flashy, stay pretty for a paycheck attitude.

                      I feel the same way. First time I seen him fight, but he seems like another fake floyd clone. He tried the shoulder roll and ate a lot of leather. I don't like the kid as of now. His skills weren't impressive, his speed was decent, his power was meh..and his foot work ******. His attitude is so terrible, I will be routing against him in his next fight regardless opponent.
