    Paulie is going to come out bobbing and weaving. rolling and slipping like a prime mike tyson. every time broner throws Paulie will slip and make him pay for it. this is going to look like mike tyson vs trevor berbick.

      8/1 is too much, I'll put a small amount on that action. Haven't seen Broner actually face someone that will not just be stationary or 1 dimensional in any of his recent fights. I would like to see how he will react to that.

        All the legit Jr Welters are tied up right now besides lets call it what it is. Its a step up fight. Broner has been fed soft opposition up to this point. And its a safe way to turn it up and find out some things about Broner. I wouldnt be surprized if Broner fights someone like a Shawn Porter next.

          Well because it's a mismatch, Malignaggi arguably lost to Cano in his last fight too. I don't see why this is shocking.

            Broner is younger, quicker and can really punch. The way he bashed up Rees who is a hard lad and not the mug he was dismissed as made me a believer.

            He's also a big lad who can easily do welterweight just by eating three good meals every day.

            Paulie is older, not as quick as he used to be and lacks a world class punch.
            He's also come up in short in nearly all of his major, career-defining fights.

            Having said that; Broner is young, disrespectful, relatively inexperienced and way surrounds himself with clowns (so prone to making some potentially massive mistakes) so this fight might have more bite than we think.

            A few good quid going down on Paulie to nick it on points.

                That is big odds, but the bookies rarely get it wrong. I've never seen a poor bookie.

                Paulie's a decent boxer, and game, but he's always been a gatekeeper to world level. I hope he does it though as I can't stand Broner.

                      Paulie's going up against a future P4P legend. IMO he should be a 64/1 underdog.
