Am I the only one who thinks Adrien Broner is just another Andre Berto??

[Rome-By-Ko]

Besides having identical initials, I feel they have the same qualities and Broner is a few fights short of running in to a wall and getting KTFO or worked over baddd in a decision.

I'm not hating on the kid at all, he's explosive, and seems to have solid power, but his arrogance is apparent and it seems like he's getting full of himself this soon. So he may have to learn the hard way, and it seems like that's exactly what happened to Berto

This is funny I was thinking the same thing on Sat(good thread)..But before I totally crown him the next. Berto I would have to see a few of his next moves..Bertos biggest problem was being protected and not adding anything new to his fight game..If Broner tests himself while learning on the Job he can be what Berto was suppose to be..I agree he did remind me of Berto,but its too soon to tell if that's the path he takes imo..

Gamboa should go up in weight and knock him out real quick to end any potential hype.

Broner will stay as far away as possible of Gamboa for now, it won't happen,

It's gonna be someone unexpected to derail this kid and make him realize where he really stands, maybe Jorge Solis.

how do u "derail" a 21 yo? the kid is no berto. yes hes arrogant, but so was naseem hamed. as long as he backs it up who gives a ****? i dont see a berto comparison at all. the two arent even similar except for being of african descent.

ah well, to everyone on this forum, get used to the kid. ive watched all of hs recent fights, and he has a lot of improvement to do. but once he learns how to set up his counter shots, and he did a fairly good job of it last nite, hes gonna be one tough puzzle to solve. and oh yea, did i say he is only 21?

I was thinking the same thing!

Well, he seems to have a lot of potential. There is no denying that he is a prospect with decent ability. He's ways from being anywhere "great" (yet). Personally, he's got to check that ego before someone with skill checks him, i.e., end up like Berto.

But I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt...look foward to seeing him in the ring again.

not impressed at this point. The two times I have seen him pressured he arguably lost both (Ponce and Quintero) so to annoint him anything is a little too soon.

Let's face it Litzau has been living on borrowed time and got the benefit of fighting the always enigmatic Juarez and the under trained Caballero to get to this point. How soon we forget how brutally KO'd he had been at the hands of Ghost and Jose Hernandez

This is exactly what I'm referring to, I don't see why people would get offended at being compared to Berto, Berto is still a force and a problem for anyone at 147, I'd be more scared of him now than pre-Ortiz to be honest, he's gonna be a lot more hungry and I bet his attitude toward the sport, his opponents and his work ethic is gonna improve dramatically, if HE wants it.

I just think Broner is getting ahead of himself a bit with his ****iness, but he'll learn either through maturity, or getting checked, he's not at a level to be acting ****y just yet.

He does remind me of Berto. I haven't seen enough of him really. Only saw highlights of the De Leon fight.
