Comments Thread For: Schaefer on Broner-Malignaggi Being Done, Burns Not

[ElPerroBigoton]

I've always felt it was a little unfair for a fighter to move up in weight and have a title shot instantly. I don't care if it's broner or Marquez or whoever, as big a star as you might be there are guys who've been campaigning at a weight trying to get a shot and here comes another guy getting a shot because they bring in more money. I just think boxers should have at least one fight at that weight class before they fight for the belt.

Paulie is not a puncher

Broner vs "Pillow Puncher" Malignagg

Most interesting part to this fight is broner is going to be forced to move his feet the wide stance he uses keeps him stationary paulie is going to make him move

Puali can take a beating and has been in the ring with heavy hitters much bigger than Broner. It's not going to be as easy as people think for Broner.

If anything Pauli will present Broner with real problems that he has never seen at the lower weight classes.

At the end of the day, people just love to hate on Broner so they are making it out that he has some kind of advantage by jumping up 2 weight classes.

I wanted to see Broner-Gamboa.

Broner is talanted but wtf. Skipping 140 is cowardly to fight the weakest feather fisted champ in the history of boxing. Hbo is desperate to replace mayweather. Why not do it with the bootleg version.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is expecting some fireworks in the ring, and during the pre-fight promotions, when Adrien Broner (26-0, 22 KOs) leaves the WBC lightweight title behind and jumps up by two weight divisions to challenge Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KOs) for the WBA welterweight crown in an HBO televised main event on June 22 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Vasquez and Burns had their chance to get outclassed and stopped by Broner, but they refused to sign the contracts. Paulie is a much bigger challenge, but I want to know whats next. Will he stay there or move back down? I guess if he wins he might stay.

dude, r u stopid or something? All the junior welterweights that mean anything are currently tied up and none of them will be available to fight Broner by June 22. Now I'm not crazy about Broner, but Paulie is a good fight for him at least he is stepping up, and should he win that fight I'm sure he would have no problem moving back down for a belt at 140, and If not then I'm sure any of the guys at 140 be it Rios, Khan, Matthyese, Peterson wouldn't hesitate in moving up to 147 for a shot at Broner

It says something big if Broner actually stops Paulie. I think this is a good test for Broner.

If he follows like Pac, LW (Diaz), WW (Hoya), JWW (Hatton), Broner will (should) fight a JWW champ next while claiming to be the smaller fighter who is at a massive disadvantage fighting much bigger fighters.
