    Adrien Broners footwork...

    I might get a giant backlash but as a guy who trained with Tony Pep and watched the likes of zab judah/mayweather come up...to me, Broners footwork looks very very sloppy!!!

    Am I crazy to think like this? I mean if he was 2007-2012 mayweather then you can make a case for him but for a young man, he has very slow,sloppy footwork and foundation!

    I mean dont get me wrong, he has boxing skills but the way he pivots is very telegraphed as well as squaring up way to much!


    Am I looking at this the wrong way right now? Is he performing a boxing style thats meant to be like that?

      There is no boxer with the style to take advantage of that footwork at lightweight anyway.

      His footwork will only work gainst him in a certain situation.

      MAYBE Vazquez but I doubt it.

        I never understood his interviews, I thought he was trying to be the next prince naseem hamed but he just comes of as an akward but talented counter puncher but I guess that makes sense that he is trying to act mayweathrish!

        He wins fights but when it comes to movements,footwork,speed he just doesnt have the razzel dazzel and natural movements of mayweather or naseem hamed!

        Arrr I get so easly weirded out by his strange/akward antics and his boxing style just doesnt seem very powerful and captivating!

              Mayweather is a fast talker and has a hyper active body language as well displays facial expression with diva like attitude.

              Broner acts like these chicks with giant sunglasses who walk around with there arms crossed or holding a starbucks coffee while showing ZERO facial expression.

              I guess if you take out the akwardness, I can see a resemblence, I was very confused when he asked his father to brush his hair or his girlfriend to do so as well

                He's trying to be a **** to get more attention. He's on the train of thought that any attention is good attention.
