Broner has no power, is b level at the most

[marvelousmatt]

Honestly he reminded me more of Berto than anything.

Okay, so WW isn't for Broner right now at all ? Jr WW maybe ? Broner vs Garcia ? Broner vs Matthyse ? I had him winning 7-5 last night. Paulie has all heart and guts. He also hits like my 8 year old daughter. Broner took 4 rounds off. He can not beat the bad boys with his game plan...or lack thereof...Broner will need to show/do much more to beat a Guerrero or Ortiz at WW.

Is he though? If Paulie had any power whatsoever Broner would have got brutalised and probably stopped. Malignaggi was landing 7 punch combos on him at one point.

This right here ^.

Broner, for obvious reasons, didn't respect Paulie's punches. Against someone that can actually hurt him, he wouldn't stand there I don't think. Berto is really dead average, and Broner's proven to be better than that. He may not be able to hang at welterweight, we'll see.

Where would he go? he's not a mobile fighter, he doesn't move.

Is Broner better than Berto? put him in with Guerrero and see if he doesn't do the same thing he did to Berto. I wouldn't rule it out.

americans should be cheering on ward, he oozes class, instead they get behind a berto version 2

Broner is in a league of his own when it comes to classlessness. I never thought I would wish a guy to get KTFO, but damn Broner is a ****. I thought Broner won in a very close fight but he was a complete ass afterwards. I thought his whole clowning thing was a put on but he showed after the fight its all real. He should not be compared to Mayweather in any aspect. Mayweather is better in every way both in and out of the ring. Mayweather always shows his opponent respect after a fight.

We shouldn't forget this fight was supposed to make Broner look good but instead he was EXPOSED for his deficiencies. Any of the top guys at 140/147 KO him.

And whats with his shoulder roll? He has the stance but he doesn't even do the 'roll' part. Thats why he got tagged all night long.

[king Ketchel]

broner is not a shoulder roller. He switched to full guard pretty quickly actually he just uses it in spurts. he is no mayweather

Honestly he reminded me more of Berto than anything.

I've said the same thing from day one.

We'll find out soon enough. Not a good look to struggle with Paulie. I like Paulie, but he's not that guy anymore, and if fans walk away from a fight feeling prime Paulie would have beat you, you have some work to do.

His speed was still there..that's about it..


He's trying to perfect the Mayweather shoulder roll/forearm push and pull counter..but it isn't coming together as crisp as Mayweather..and it's making him look flawed..

He's still young and has room for MUCH improvement...the only thing is he talks as if he's elite already and flawless with his skill...so we hold him to the standard that he claims to be in..

What's worse is that he tries to walk down like Mayweather at inappropriate times. He got worn down because he was taking shots.

What's more, is people are saying Broner doesn't have power...he does, he just doesn't have very much in the skill department. He can't land the power like he does against Gavin Rees

Broner has got some serious defensive flaws (and a few offensive ones, namely his relative inactivity). He comes forward in straight lines and doesn't pick angles very well, lacks good head movement (doesn't roll punches really at all), his feet are completely flat and are therefore slow (I understand that he's trading speed for power, but he's going to have to vary this up a bit, the punchers at 147 hit much harder than Paulie), and he fights with his mouth open. Let me repeat that, he literally cannot close his mouth even during a fight. When he gets hit flush by a big puncher, it will hurt him big time. I think that Broner is caught somewhere in the limbo for fighting styles. He hasn't yet figured out quite how he needs to fight and what style he should rely on. Either way, I think that he needs to step down a weight class or two, because if he steps up in terms of competition at 147, he'll lose.
