    Which is why Broner would have to go to Japan seeing as they dont rate the WBO title that Broner holds

      Or Uchiyama could make a move to America. That fight isn't happening, not in a million years, unless one of them vacates their title or something. And how is HBO going to air it?? It wouldn't be on HBO and that's a problem.

        yea and the problem with that is itd be a super fight that no1 would watch so he'd lose all the hbo money. the only viable way for this fight to happen is uchi traveling, because broner isnt gonna get hbo money for a fight likely to occcur at 4 or 5 in the am. hbo wouldnt televise it. its really tricky. and it always has been when dealing with japanese fighters.

          Oh that was the general consensus? Sorry wasn't aware of that lol. I watched the fight, and my consensus was that Broner won a very competitive fight. Apparently my consensus was the same as that of all 3 judges watching the fight. Broner was much more consistent in the fight, he got off to a slow start but came back strong, and his accuracy was off the charts compared to Ponce.

          The general consensus comment only works on fights where the general consensus is overwhelmingly in favor of a certain outcome. And as I'm searching through the web trying to find reports where the general consensus was that Broner drew with Ponce de Leon, at the very best, I'm having a hard time finding many reports to back it up. No basis = No validation. Your opinion may be entirely different than mine, but that doesn't mean that your opinion is general consensus.

          Watch the fight, check the stats, then make your own decision about who won. But either way, the decision does tell the tale of the fight, because Broner won and still has the pretty record. Lederman may have had you fooled, but Broner won the fight. Sorry if the scorecards aren't enough for you.

                True talk, if there was only one champ, one would have to budge

                    They mean even less now that the WBA have their super, regular, interim champ and every fight seems to be for some sort of WBC championship, it seems the original 2 are the worst by far for this ****, apart from the WBO rankings, they suck fat sweaty hairy a$$ to be fair, then the IBF are real quick to strip people
