Comments Thread For: Broner vs. Abril in Talks For February 16th on HBO

[-Kev-]

If he ends up fighting DeMarco, Abril, Burns, that's about as good as you can do at 135 with the GBP vs Top Rank feud blocking the other fight against Vazquez. Fighting 3 out of the 4 best fighters you can fight is great. No complaints. You obviously want to see Broner vs Vazquez, but I mean the promotional companies make that fight impossible. Can't fault neither Vazquez or Broner.

I like this matchup Abril is a underrated fighter with good skills tough challenge for Broner

[MurkaMan]

Abril beat a brawler in Rios but Broner's style is totally different. He is more dynamic and a lot quicker than Rios, Abril's a bit too slow. Not in Broner's class. Bad fight imo.. Broner's ready for the big dawgs now, Abril is a step in the wrong direction he is on a level of Demarco, and Broner annihilated Demarco.

Demarco is a bum who has no boxing skills at all! he didnt even use his height and reach, the idiot leaned into the shots! Abril is a complete slick boxer who uses footwork from the outside!

you better take another look at Abril, much slower than Broner he is a good boxer but he doesn't set up his shots or counters well he's nothing to write home about. Broner is far superior to Abril an Abril won't be able to use his height and reach either once he feel Broner's power.. Abril is not going to come close to beating Broner u will be calling him a bum along with Demarco afterwards..

Broner is too small, and flatfooted to beat Abril! Thats the reason Demarco won that first round against Broner! He was on the outside, and just landed, and went out! If Broner beats him, Im giving props, but its just not happening! Broner will try to walk him down, and Abril gonna be jabbing and moving, and Broner will run into shots like Trout vs Cotto! A smaller guy fighting a long defensive jabber, who has him running into shots! It will be a mismatch, with Broner REALLY learning about boxing! Mismatch.

You sound more like an alt than anything. This is such a phony post that it comes across more comical than serious, lmfao!

You have no idea what your talking about. You don't know boxing. You don't even know who Abril is, you just want to see Broner lose. You just said Broner is too small to beat Abril yet Abril lost to a 5'6 Hank Lundy. Abril is not even close to the level of Trout technically nor physically and he is going to lose to Broner should they meet.

It comes across as comical, because you see Broner's speed, power, defense, and think he's unbeatable! The truth is, some of you just dont understand boxing, and the styles! I almost get flabbergasted by some of you guys on here! SHOCKED that you dont know boxing! You could get a bum, who has a COMBINATION of HEIGHT, FOOTWORK, DEFENSE, AND A JAB, and they would give Broner problems, because he's short, and tries to walk you down flat footed! You dont know boxing! I do! Thats the reason you dont get it! Think what you want.

No need to rush. Only thing on his agenda for 2013 is to clean out 135. Abril, Burns, Vasquez in that order. Skipping a weight division after only one fight is senseless and poor managing of a young fighter on the rise.

This will be a good challenge for him. And c'mon son, Abril makes DeMarco look foolish.

I think you exaggerating a little here. Broner has no tape on a guy that fights like Abril so none of us really now how he will deal with a taller fighter that moves and boxes. But what we do know is that Broner isn't afraid to **** at the body and that's definitely something he will need to unleash against a fighter like Abril. And let's be real, Abril hasn't faced a fighter like Broner either.

Abril is a very slick boxer but you making him out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I dont even dislike Broner, but he doesnt use footwork, he is flatfooted, and walks guys down! I never compared Abril's sklls to Trouts! I said The fight will be like Trout vs Cotto! A short guy running into shots, and a tall defensive jabber backing up and have him running into shots! This fight is easy as hell bro! I dont hate Broner, nor do I care too much for him, but He is an excellent inside fighter, but dont use his footwork! Your a broner groupie, Im not a groupie for no fighter! Im a boxing fan and Im not biased like you.
