I was shocked at the nut huggery by showtime, first of all, the punch stats were wrong, I wish a video is made like it was cotto vs floyd showing it.
the guy never even hurt paulie once, for me he lost the fight and was lucky he had al haymon with him
the guy has no movement at all, even floyd was hinting at it, all he does is move forward in a straight line throwing around 40-45 punches per round on average against someone with power, broner would have been knocked out, the guy is b level
one thing he is very young, he needs to be taken out of the firing line imo
berto, ortiz, guerrero and khan would beat him, the only way they lose is if the judges gift broner a win, he is not elite at all
people are saying he is masterful in the attacking art of boxing, I call bull****, Manny Pac was that, power, speed and lots of movement
all broner has is speed and accuracy
americans should be cheering on ward, he oozes class, instead they get behind a berto version 2
I shouldn't of been shocked but seeing as Malignaggi is the same man who has commentated for them I somehow thought they'd put prospect and business aside and give a fair even unbiased job of the commentary but I was...
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.
Can you imagine what Matthysse or Maidana would do to him if they land a solid punch in that big open mouth of his? Dear God.
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.
