Comments Thread For: Broner Punishes a Very Game Rees For TKO Win

[mconstantine]

Broner definitely got hit more than normal...but I think it was obvious that he was testing Rees power early in the fight. You could see something click in Broner after he took a few shots (especially that hook on the break) that he realized Rees wasn't going to hurt him. Then he got more aggressive but Rees didn't back down.

You HAVE to give Rees some credit here. He fought about the BEST that he could.

Don't believe the hype.

HBO is sooooooo desperate for this Great Black Dope to become the next big thing, it's pitiful.

broner did apologize to the crowd about his less than sensational performance....

Yeah, he looked mildly embarrassed. Those catch phrases were coming off mad forced.

Holy crap, a Bromo made an ALT just in case people go off on Broner tonight.

SMDH....

lol im not an alt bro im not a broner fan either... people hate on him but he's not all that bad i guess they're just offended by his ****iness

What a pathetic joke. I don't know which was worse, that even when Rees was landing shot after shot (in the first few rounds especially) and making Broner miss horribly, the HBO crew was still slobbing Adriens nob, or how the only time Adrien the elbow Broner could hit Rees was when he had him pinned with his elbow or head down. Sure, he shines when he can get his guy to stand there and not move, but..... I'm sorry but for HBO to say that was another 'great' show by Broner is just past pathetic IMO. He fought a guy over 3" shorter then him (he looked as close to midget a non midget could get) and he was getting tagged A LOT by that midget ... and - he missed A LOT. Yeah, yeah. He "got the job done". Yippee.

Green K post.

Broner: I'm still the can man! I will fight anybody they put in front of me! Anybody can get it!

Kellerman: So does that mean you'll fight the winner of Vasquez/Burns?

Broner: UUUHHHHH who's that? Were gonna go back to the drawing board with Al Haymon and goldenboy.

Anybody can get it.
Except for the Scottsman or the Mexican. What a joke.

Pretty much exactly what I expected. Glad the fight was stopped, the rock put up a good show. Kellerman being his useless self once again.

Testing Rees's power? No, Broner didn't intend to get hit with the punches why the hell would he want to look bad. LOL

HBO is convinced Broner is the answer to their need for a fighter to appeal to the "urban demographic."

We'll see about that. I get the feeling Rees was right that many Americans can't stand Broner's whole act.

But maybe they're not the ones in that "urban demographic."

The same "urban demographic" that hates the Klitschkos.

A little afterwards he was interviewed for the SKY broadcast, with Rees right next to him, and he said he wants to fight Burns next. And if that can't be done, he'll move up to 140 lbs. The Sky broadcast interview was much better than the HBO one with Kellerman.
