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

Broner's going to be exciting at 140, BUT, he's going to get hurt. Gets hit too much.

If he gets hit too much than he's not the next Mayweather maybe Meldrick Taylor

Look at this racist piece of ****. Are you one of Freedom's alts?

If you don't want to see black American fighters being the best in the world then limit yourself to watching the weak heavyweight division, Adolf.

There's no need to get upset when someone makes an honest fact

What you guys have to realize, if a smaller guy takes it to a larger guy, and that larger guy doesn't have a "pump the jab and keep the distance" type of style, that larger guy is bound to take some shots.

Broner did just fine...I saw nothing that makes me think he can't and won't live up to the hype...BUT...he may have to evolve his game to use his legs more to stay on the outside more with smaller pressure fighters. Great experience for him to have before going against someone like Rios.

Thank you for bringing that up! This is the first thing I wanted to post after watching the first 2 rounds.

Broner's jab is lazy, and he leaves it out there too long. He needs to work on a stronger jab, so he doesn't have to get into as many fire fights.

It will be his down fall at 140 and higher.

A couple of things. He's still young, yes he got caught a lot and he still stayed in the pocket and got a very game fighter out of there. He'll get better, much better.

Boner is gay go fight bam bam or Gamboa or Alvarado you gay f@@k al humongous pupet

I doubt it, i see Mathysse getting to his body, slowing him down, then Knocking Broner out.

I can easily see Matthysse breaking him down, and stopping him. If he doesn't learn to use his feet, he's screwed against a guy like Matthysse.

Lol, stop whining, the fight was at 140 lbs. They both made weight, fair fight.

The fight was at 135 ...

Nah. He hits MUCH harder, and doesn't waste punches like Taylor. All I know is, he's going to be exciting as hell, regardless of wins and losses.

He's still young. Maybe it's possible he didn't have his best night and still got a very game fighter out of there and was able to take some good shots and still stay in the pocket. I think we're sometimes to quick to dismiss fighters, especially when they're young and still learning their craft. He's extremely gifted and he has some dog in him, meaning when he gets hit, he doesn't retreat...he fires back. I say cut him some slack, he's still very young.

I don't see the Mel Taylor comparison, either. Broner is a bigger puncher. Prime Taylor was one of the fastest fighters I have ever seen in his prime. Not in the same league, speed wise.
