LOL, so I finally watch this Broner guy and...

[F l i c k e r]

This is what a young Floyd would have looked like without proper fundamentals.


No. This doesn't mean Broner is like a young Floyd. Instead this means if Floyd had no proper fundamentals; meaning his offense and defense was bare and he relied solely on his natural ability.

The result would be Adrien Broner.


That is my observation. He punches like how Floyd used to but without the discipline and fundamentals backing it up. He tries to do things like Floyd does but it comes off sketchy because of the aforementioned lacking.

Go for it though. I wanted to see the excitement behind this guy but all I see is a reckless power puncher.

I doubt anyone at Super Feather beats him. The division is quite bare to be honest. I mean, my boy Diego Magdaleno is in the same division and could easily box circles around him but I doubt he could take his punch.

Broner won't see much comp until he moves up. Then you'll see his true worth. He'll see guys where reckless power punching won't exactly mean you win. Katsidis, DeMarco, Antillon, all guys who can take a punch and keep on coming. Then you have tacticians; Linares, Guerrero. Then guys with firepower as well; Rios, Acosta.

Just my observation. I'm not sold on him but you guys can support him if you want.

i agree with most of this, but the only guys i see giving him trouble are rios, linares, and Guerrero(if he stays that low). the rest, he has enough skill and power to beat for the most part.

All valid statements. I'll say this. The fight was entertaining. As a matter of fact, all the fights last weekend were surprisingly good. Low and behold, one of the fighters does a tribute to Mayweather's style and another calls him out in his post fight interview. Floyd is the top dog hands down, he breathed life back into the sport. Now all we need is this Pac fight to crack off and Boxing is back on the map.

Next Mayweather!

I wouldn't put too much stock into that fight. He looked to just be testing a few things out. That's why they have these sorts of fights. Floyd didn't look like Floyd getting taken to hell and back testing out Roger's training methods against Augustus, either.

what about Takashi Uchiyama?

Not to sure. His best win was Salgado. Maybe wait for the Solis fight then reassess him vs Broner.

But Broner also never fought anyone who takes bombs and keeps coming forward. Well, Ponce does but some people think he loss that fight.

So if a guy like Katsidis could eat his shots and plot foward. What will that do to Broner mentally? Specially since he goes all out on all his shots, would he fade?

[$tate of Mind]

I agree with much of what you say but how many boxers are as technically sound as Floyd? It's unfair to compare AB to Floyd.

Broner's success will depend on whether or not he begins to respect his opponents as they continue to get tougher. As soon as he ceases to be the "showcase" in a fight, and if he keeps fighting the way he does, he'll be out pointed or knocked out by an effectively aggressive fighter. He gets hit A LOT more than Floyd does but he's just as inactive.

He'll have to stop worrying so much about how good he looks in the ring if he wants to beat any of the top guys at 135-140.
