Should Broner go back down in weight?

[SOPH~ REP.]

Moved up way too fast to test a heavy hitter like maidana

[ddangerous]

Yes, 147 is too big for him

[Mr. Philadel]

Still my dude...I think he needed this humble pie though....he'll be back!!

[mannyman]

Not at all, he's a bonafide Welterweight.

He lost because of a combination of the following:

Over confidence/believing his own hype
Not talking Maidana seriously
Not taking boxing seriously outside of the ring
No footwork
Not being able to adjust

It had nothing to do with being undersized at WW>

[Rudiamonds]

garcia and mathysse would ktfo him @ 140

He will never fight another Argentina fighter again

[apokalips]

He needs to improve his footwork more than anything. The weight class wont matter if he keeps fighting like he did tonight.

100% his footwork is so average. He showed no real defensive reflexes or instinct either. He can't do his routine of posing while walking down small guys at 147 it won't work and these guys won't respect him. He has to start to respect the sport and his craft in order to improve.

He believed he made it before he really had and now he's been brought back to earth. Focus on boxing and improving and go from there. A new trainer would help as his corner seemed to offer nothing - he didn't even seem to respect them. He needs a trainer that will be tough on him and then we will see what he is made of.

Broner lacks the KO power at WW for sure.

[KO'er]

Absolutely. Or even a couple of fights down at 135 first, Gamboa being one.

[MrRolltide91]

The money is at 147

[Drunk Punch]

He was 165 in the ring! Dude sweats off 20+ pounds of water so he can beat up midgets like Eloy Perez.
