    BIG QUESTION!: Why Didn’t Broner fight the 147 WBA Interim Champ First?

    He completely avoided hard hitting Diego Gabriel Chaves, the current 147 WBA Interim Champ.
    Why’s that?
    7
    Because fighting Gavin "The Hobbit" Rees was a bigger, more exciting fight.
    14.29%
    1
    Because Al Haymon wont let him fight undefeated champs with high KO ratios.

    I have a feeling we'll be continuously asking questions like "Why Didn’t Broner fight ______" for a very long time. This kid will cherry pick and duck all of the threats just like big bro.

    This guy has 3 robberies in 27 fights...

      Because he's following in Mayweather's footsteps?

        Its funny how Broner got the title fight and didnt have to win the interim belt first so as to have a rightful claim to a title shot while guys like Matthysse first have to win the interim , then challenge, and even then they get ducked.
        Easy street sounds like a nice place to live in.

          Ok everyone, I'm not sure if any of you know boxing...Rees was a far superior threat to Broner, he is one of the best pure boxers out there and simply outboxed Broner for the best part of 3 rounds. It was Broner's power that got him the win, if Broner had Paulie power he would have been schooled by the world class Rees.

                  Broners a draw. And when your a draw you are able to come right in and challenge the champ. Thats the way its always been.
