    I'm far more annoyed with his choice of opposition, could care less about his persona, he's immature but he's getting hits, episode 2 of About Billions had like 3 million views.

      I'm not even sure of his talent, its not hard to look good against guys you have 20lbs & 5" on that aren't even good to begin with.
      That isn't me saying he has no talent, I'm saying when you have these sort of guys in front of you its hard not to look talented.

          You've got guys like Floyd, Rigondeaux, Sergio etc wrecking good fighters that have big size advantages on them. But guys like Gavin Rees, Eloy Perez they're basically blown up flyweights and everyone of them has stood right infront of him.
          If Paulie still has his legs this could get interesting.

          I'm not sold on Broner & WTF was DeMarco doing fighting like that? That is not his style and he was actually having good success when he used his length.

            I agree. Broner SEEMS talented as hell but he still has alot to prove. Against different fighters and different styles he can prove his mettle. The jury remains out on him.

                Gettin' beat to the punch repeatedly ain't having good success, he decided to weigh his options in close, see if he can land solidly and that failed. DeMarco simply didn't have the tools regardless of how he should have approached Broner.

                  I really wish Paulie was younger cause i think his style gives the version of Broner weve seen so far an absolute nightmare. As it is Malignaggi probably gets walked down. But its the same reason i wanted to see him against Miguel Vasquez at lightweight rather than Burns. Maybe Broner would switch up and show me something new in which case i would eat my words...

                    It's no doubt that Broner has had the luxury of being able to plant his feet and throw all sort of combinations, I wanted to see the Vazquez fight for the same reasons you do, see how well he cuts off the ring, or can fight on the move. Abril is another fighter who could have brought that answer out of him.
