    Man when he lands, he has guys looking sick! His victims look like they have aids when their on that canvas! He hit harder than when he fought ponce, and guy is benching 315! All that power man I would LOVE to see him fight Lucas, or someone like Thurman.

      147lb I think he'll have pop in his punches but lack that one punch power.
      He will always have that type of power to cut guys up. Opposed to a Mayweather who no matter how many combos he lands you just become immune to it, and adjust to his power.

        147, depends on how he grows into the weight.

            He's short.

            However, if I had to guess I would say 147. If he improves his skills and shows that he has a great chin, he could go higher but at this point that is unlikely.

              He can crack but it's mostly his speed and accuracy. Demarco took his shots well...til he took what seemed like 1000 clear punches. The top guys at 140 are some lions, doubt he fazes any of them. Think he'll keep Rios, Lucas, Garcia and these guys off him? He's gunna give as good as he takes but for now he's a step above the dudes he fights so it looks worse with him being bigger and his skillset. I dont see him beating legit 140 (or big 140) guys THAT badly. He'll still hit hard though, but wont always be the bigger or stronger man. I think it'll carry over to 147 the same way. If he attacks the body that consistently then hell, he's gonna be fine. He's pretty agressive.

                Demarco has one of the best chins in boxing. that's not surprising.

                  You know that video was a joke, right? He couldn't get the weights all the way up, so the spotter had to help him get it up the rest of the way. That's why they were all laughing in the video.

                    Too true. But a guy with a good chin AND size wont be as easily pushed back or discouraged.

                      Adrian Broner has average punching power. His power is being overrated for some reason.

                      You don't repeatedly tag someone with flush shots over and over (i.e., Demarco) if you're a dangerous puncher. Broner is just accurate and has a larger muscular build, which gives the illusion that he's some kind of big puncher. He's not.

                      How far will his punching power go? He's not even a puncher at his current weight class, let alone anything higher.
