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

[ElMeroChingon]

well, all this talk of him being hittable is no news. my take on Broner for a while now is that he won't be Floyd II, the defense will not be near as airtight, he can be hit. but what he will be as he moves up in weight is an exciting action guy who will be in some great firefights. he has a chin, he can ****, he's physically strong. just enjoy him. he's gonna be a lot of fun.

Thats still to be seen.

really?..coz i did'nt see ponce landing the overhand right on broner's face and body puches rees was landing againts broner in that fight , nor the activity of reese....and burns is the tougher fight for broner than vasquez imo..

Really? You don't think Ponce worked the body too? Maybe it was a foolish comment on my part, as I previously stated I haven't seen the fight since it happened. I don't see Burns beating Vazquez to be honest.

If that was Lucas or danny Garcia.broner will be lights out. they are way better.punch harder and more accurate than this guy rees

[Mzembe]

curious to see if he can do that against people his own size

Who are people his own size? Can you name some names at 135Ibs who in your "expert" opinion he should be fighting?? This is the 2nd fight for Broner at 135 i.e he moved up in weight so which size and which people are you talking about?
Gavin Reese is now too small for Broner yet he fights at 140Ibs!! Get your facts or logic in check bro.
When Broner moves up to 140Ibs and beats up buffoons like Amir Khan, Zab Judah or even Garcia then will you be puking the same rhetorics?

Broner can do everything either good or pretty good. He can box, work behind his jab, counters with that quick left hook. But the major difference between he and Floyd is Broner is a far more offensive fighter.

While Floyd can do work on the inside and standing toe-to-toe, he's defensive first, and usually sacrifices his own offense while in range, to make you miss. Broner will use the shoulder roll and make you miss, but he won't be in the full defense mode, and will look for his openings and throw a ton on the inside, which leaves himself open for shots.

If Broner fights Matthysse or Rios at 140, he won't be standing toe-to-toe with them. He'll be circling and working the jab, countering with that left hook, popping the right hand here and there. He can't stand toe-to-toe with them.

Went as expected really. Rees was always going to go out and take the fight to Broner ..thats the kind of fighter he is, and fair play to him as he looked sharp the 1st few rounds. The difference in class was bound to start to show sooner rather than later though.
I think Gary Lockett stopped the fight at the right time also, so fair play to him.

Broner's interview on Sky Sports came across better than his one for HBO. As for Kellerman...come back Larry Merchant!

I wouldn't say overrated, but his style won't suit him for JWW, and WW.

He's def gonna have to change up his style against the bigger guys.

Broner looked 2x bigger then Rees

He's forced, unoriginal, narcissistic, and classless.

And the boxing hall of fame is filled with worse. What's your point?

Thats still to be seen.

he takes a solid shot at very least. DeMarco landed some good ones, Broner wasn't phased. i expect him to show that he can weather big shots when he needs to. and he will need to.
