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

    Adrien has a long way to go to reach Bertos level. Berto has held & defended a world title. Also it isnt like Berto was demolished like what happened to Fernando Vargas or Paul Willialms in his 1 loss. Berto has shown he has heart & can take a punch. Adrien hasn't had a chance to show even that yet.

      I did notice some foreare action in his inside game. Personally I'm particular about a good "clean" inside game, which can be done, but using that forearm to create distance is very distracting and takes away from his style.

        i have broner getting ktfo very soon, especially if he leaves the cozy confines of 130 or someone steps up to 130.

        im not all that impressed, like I said yesterday, litzau fights like he's trying to peer over a wall with that head, and he couldn't have been more talior made for broner

          I dont get why every prospect is expected to be an ATG. as long as they bring something new and good to the table, then that means they have a successful career. and Broner is already very close to being one of the best in the division.

          yall hold guys to too high of standards.


          that being said, I dont mean to be a jackass or take anything away from Broner but I kind of think that Litzau just got caught cold. The fight was very uneventful and even up till that one right hand that rocked Litzau, and Litzau has always had a bad chin.

          I think a lot more questions would have been answered had Litzau not been caught cold early.

            yah, some ppl have unreasonable expectations. i mean the kid just turned 21 and already hes a hypejob? imo there arent many title holders id pick over him at 130. the division is ripe for the taking and im cerain he'll be a cmapion of the division within the next 1 or 2 yrs.

              If the guy was really doing his Mini-May homework, he'd know that Floyd frowns upon tattoos.

                I thought it was Mayorga Jr by the way Broner was throwing punches at times.

                  He's a slick enough fighter with some decent talent. But the fact of the matter is this guy is really happy with himself without having done much in boxing that matters to anyone else.

                  If he's happy with himself, that's fine with him. However, I find it repulsive. He struggled with Ponce De Leon, who Juan Manuel Lopez took care of in quick fashion. Then, he and his supporters think he's proven something by taking out a guy that Robert Guerrero and Jose Andres Hernandez took out earlier in his career. The only bright spot is that it only took him one round.

                  He has a long way to go before his resume justifies his attitude. However, I can see this train getting derailed sooner rather than later simply due to his attitude.

                    Paul Williams' first lost wasn't demolition

                      Broner is a boxer/counterpuncher. Berto is an explosive kind of "fighter" who does not box. They're completely different.
