I agree Broner cleans out 135. But Abril is a risky opponent and team Broner deserves major props for taking this fight and it will be a good win on his resume. It's a damn shame that we have a young fighter seeking to take on the toughest challenges in his division and people still *****, complain and downplay his opposition.
Abril is a good test for him. Give Broner some damn credit.

All you can do is bring up Eloy who didn't even make it out of the 4th round with Broner, that's just ******. This is a safe fight for Broner. GoldenBoy has no intentions of putting Broner in there with someone they think is a real threat yet because if they did he would be fighting Gamboa next. Lundy beat Abril and so Broner who is a superior fighter to Lundy will too. Thats how GB see's it and it's as simple as that. Boxing promotion 101

He lost to Lundy doesn't matter if he should of gotten the nod, Lundy should of gotten the nod against Beltran too, and sure Abril could have gotten the nod against Rios, but outside of a couple flurries and a few potshots, Abril had a lot of moments of inactivity, unlike Rios, I had it closer to a draw. It's no different from the Pacquiao lost to Bradley of or Mosley win over Mora, being inactive boxing and looking flashy just doesn't convince some judges especially if your name isn't Floyd Mayweather, judges don't give guys like Abril the benefit of the doubt.

But if you think that the Abril-Rios fight was even close, and if you think it was no different than Pac-Bradley (which was also a clear robbery), then I have to question your judgement.

Gamboa is probably an easier fight than Abril. Did you guys not see this dude's defensive holes Saturday? Couple that with the height disadvantage. Gamboa would get picked apart.

Originally posted by MurkaMan View PostBroner chooses his own opponents! I dont care what you think! Gamboa is a small, glass jaw, wild, non-disciplined, shot fighter! He is too small for Broner, and will get KO'd! Then you lie, and say, "All you can do is bring up Eloy!" Your COPYING Me when I said, that All you can do is bring up Lundy-Abril! I said that because its TRUE! I do more than use a silly triangle Theory! I dont even have to bring up Eloy! I will say what I BEEN saying this ENTIRE time! Breakdown of WHY; Broner is FLATFOOTED and tries to walk you down! When Abril faces a guy of that style, he will run and box on the backfoot! Using his size, reach, and height advantage over the smaller fighter! Go away you weirdo, no matter what I say, you twist **** up, lie and say I dont break it down, try to flip **** around! You dont even have an argument, you just see Broner's speed and power, and skills, and you think he's unbeatable! You cant break down this fight, based off of flaws, and whatnot! Like I said before, Im not changing my mind!

Originally posted by Realizniguhnit View PostAbril aint no good test. It's a safe fight. Maybe Abril and Demarco are nothing alike, which I think your wrong about when you compare their speed and boxing IQ, but let's just say your right. What you can't deny is the fact that Lundy and Broner are somewhat alike and Abril lost to Lundy. Last time I checked Broner's stronger, faster, and now bigger than Hank Lundy.
And Lundy and Broner fight nothing alike.
Your entitled to your opinion and all but I don't think you know enough about Abril to know whether he is a tough opponent or not. Which is nothing to be ashamed of because he had limited footage.
