Comments Thread For: Ricky Burns-Adrien Broner Will Happen, Says Schaefer

[richardt]

Save my breath? Writing does not use "breath" Pep. This time I won't charge you for the lesson in "common sense". You go ahead and hang out with your kidding boxing fans and leave boxing analysis to the adults. When a huge number of people recognize that BULL**** decisions like the gift that Broner got are hurting boxing, go ahead and live in your fantasy world.

Oops. I meant to say save your words. I think you're confusing me with a person that is going to get in a nit picking word play game with you. More importantly, you're confusing petty bickering with a display of wit and then try to call it a lesson in common sense. It's just a childish attitude. I don't know how old you are but I feel like a lot of these insulting types of comments like the above are coming from "adults" who should know better. Real talk. No disrespect to you intended. I think that the media is hurting the sport of boxing more than anything. Commentators like Larry Merchant who try force feed their own personal perception of what an exciting fighter is are hurting the sport. People like you who count how many people share an opinion as the basis of their own instead of using your own eyes, ears and brain blindly follow what these fools say. My "fantasy" that Broner won the fight certainly seems a lot more real to me than the "reality" that you and your "huge amount of people" exist in where he lost. Free yourself from the Matrix of other people's opinions. Popular opinion is highly overrated. Remember that millions of people bought Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys album's. So much for a huge amount of people. Broner whooped De Leon's ass. Thoroughly.

By saying Broner whooped Ponce's a$$ thoroughly shows you are either A) Black, B) ******, or C) just can't score a fight, D) biased. Take your pick. I'll be glad to remove B). That leaves the other 3. If C), then you need to take yourself out of the Matrix of people who can't score a fight and learn how.

You exposed yourself as a newbie when you mentioned how the fighters faces looked at the end of the fight. You disqualified yourself right then. NO ONE who knows boxing ever tries to use how a fighters face looks after the fight in trying to make a point about who won. BIG MISTAKE!!

Yes I am black. You only bring that up because you're A) Prejudiced B) Can't think of anything other than a racial attack C)Cause you're Mexican or D) all of the above. I love the fighting style of the legendary black fighters like Jack Johnson that proved to the racist white men of this country that a black man is not only there equal but in the case of Johnson proved to be their superior. His unforgivable blackness is an ongoing inspiration to me and I will never shrink away from or deny this fact. Maybe I am biased. I'm biased in favor of clean effective punches landed and ring generalship. I'm biased against pro ethnic audiences that cheer for every useless punch their fighter throws and then the commentators act like the cheers from the audience equal punches landed. I am biased against prejudiced potty mouth internet thugs. I guess you saying that you would remove C) is your feeble attempt at trying to be a little bit more mature. And speaking in platitudes proves nothing. How many times are you going to say that you don't agree with me using the damage to a fighters face as a way to assess the winner of the fight? I get it buddy. Big mistake, right? You've made that point already. As nonsensical as it is. And this whole "no one who knows boxing says" and "boxing pros would laugh" and all of this need for outside validation that you find so important means absolutely nothing to me. So once again. Save your breath, words or whatever form of semantics that you prefer. I'll say it again. Broner whooped De Leon's ass. Thoroughly.

Broner threw like 10 punches a round against Ponce. How the **** did anyone have him beating Ponce?

Yeah, work-rate doesn't win fights but neither does throwing next to no punches either.

Especially since Ponce was the naturally smaller guy. It's about who lands more per round not about who's face looks prettier at the end of the fight. Of course Ponce's face is going to look a little more beaten up, he is fighting a guy naturally bigger than him.

Pep - I already knew you were black. I took a poll among a mix of 20 people and only the blacks thought Broner won...figures. Even non-hispanics knew Ponce won. But you are not any different from others. Every time a Mexican beats a Puerto Rican, a litany of excuses comes out from Puerto Rican fans. I have seen this play out for many years without exception. It is what it is. Consider yourself exposed - like the rest. Glad I don't favor fighters based on race or color.

you could argue that which ever way you want.

broner out landed ponce percentage wise. that means a lot of ponces shots missed & hit air while broners a lot more accurate & effective.

If you don't favor fighters based on race or color why are you doing polls on line to find out people's race and color who scored the fight. Excuses? Let's not forget who REALLY won the fight. Adrien Broner. You care about race a lot more than I do because you're the one who keeps bringing up. I will duly note that I was "exposed" here on a boxing forum by a complete stranger in front of complete strangers that I will never see or meet and neither will they meet me. I really couldn't care less bro.
