What Are Your Thoughts On Broner's Legs/Footwork?

[Doctor_Tenma]

He hasn't faced an opponent that has forced him to change his approach, so I can't really judge his foot work. Hypothetically speaking, lets say he is flat footed, one still has to deal with his stiff jab, lead right and counter left hook, a counter left hook that's also devastating, used consistently as well and far more accurate than Donaire or Danny's. That's become a major weapon in his arsenal.

dannys left hook and right hands are pretty accurate

You want us to tell you what we think about something that he hasn't shown but YOU THINK is there?

What I can do is tell you about what we've seen and that's no footwork. A wide stationary stance which will struggle vs someone who moves and doesn't stand there when he walks them down.

this! I was going to say "what footwork"? Broner is overrated.

He always steps into the proper angles, his feet are a bit sluggish at times though.

Not denying that, but Danny's counter left hook isn't used with the same regularity as Broner, he's not as accurate with it either. If you watch Broner's earlier fights, that counter left hook has stuck with him since the beginning, it's a good thing he's continued to polish it.

Something else I wanted to mention, even though he likes to counter from mid range; step back counters and walk his opponents down predominantly, he does so patiently, he knew when he was ready to take Escobedo out, he literally played with DeMarco for 2 rounds before taking him out. Have we ever seen his aggressively pursue his opponents the way Rios and Peterson do at times. I say this because, if confronted against a solid boxer...we may see a different Broner than the one we're used to. This is why I would have liked to have seen him against Abril, Vazuqez or Burns.

Broner has exceptional footwork. He just doesn't move when he doesn't have to, and it's his style to stay in the pocket.

He's an extremely talented fighter.

you right bro danny is a little wider with everything he needs to stay more crispy like pops tells him.

Wrong, let me SHOW you guys what I am talking about.

VERY few fighters can do what Broner does at 1:03 in this video. Most boxers when they take a half step back, they are not in position to immediately be able to throw that right hand like he does. His footwork allowed him to do that.

VERY few fighters can do what Broner does at 1:11 in this video, again, taking a quick half step back and still being balanced and in position to throw that left hook with enough mustard on it to mean something. That is superior footwork.



Look at him on the mitts at :20 on this video. Look at how quickly he's able to change the angle without getting out of balance or out of his stance. Not for a split second is he NOT in position to defend or strike. That is good footwork.



Footwork = Being able to get from point A to point B quickly and maintaining balance/stance to always be in a position to defend or strike.

Again, if you understand what the purpose of footwork is, you'd know his footwork is fine.

Thank you.
