Not many are mentioning how Broner is playing THINKING he's playing it safe, as he has for his entire career. Yes, he's fought alot of flashy fighters with no losses, but who GOOD has he fought, besides DeMarco... and even with that, Antonio did not have even remotely the right fight plan going in. And let's not forget an even MORE important tidbit... Broner CAN be hit. AND he won't be bringing any punching power to WW.
I see Paulie winning this one. Experience and tenacity. That's really all it takes against Broner, although he hasn't yet gotten in with the tough challenges to discover that. Watch Broner carefully. Besides getting hit often, he really doesn't have the intellect and class and smarts to be the dragon killer HBO is trying to promote him as being. Yeah, he's fast, and has power at LW. Alot different than moving up 2 division to fight a veteran who's seen it all.
