Has Broner improved in his career?

[01samuelc]

Broner can be a very formidable pressure fighter if he steps up his punch output and tosses that half ass shell.

He's at his best when he's pushing his opponent back. Against Maidana everybody is talking about using his feet but his best work was moving forward and making Maidana fight off his back foot.

Exactly he should fight like that instead of masquerading as a pure boxer. He would be a great pressure fighter with KO power at 140.

If anything he has gotten worse, he is much slower every fight since the Litzau fight and looks less active in rounds too.

[Beercules]

Broner has fought 4 quality opponents. DeMarco which was his best win. Paulie who he barely beat and in some cases people felt Broner didn't do enough to beat the champion

PDL another questionable decision

Maidana who beat Broner up.


He has fast hands. That's it

[Slip Stream]

Broner's quest wasn't to be the best, it was to talk about being the best and because that was true, when he finally encountered reality, reality wore his ass out. He has a lot of potential but potential that isn't dedicated loses to a tough and determined fighter every time.

The bloated Broner is a true reflection of the man and career. Boxing is the wrong line of business for the uncommitted, maybe he should have gotten into a less violent sport because when you get bloated and lazy in front of a fighter that's hungry you get mowed the **** down.

Beating up on cans and hobbits might have made him look impressive to some degree but once the level of competition was stepped up, Broner was harshly exposed.

You will never meet a fighter with a weaker 3 weight championship claim than Broner's; Vicente Martin Rodriguez at 130, Antonio DeMarco at 135 and Paulie Malignaggi at 147.

Nope. He thought beating tiny fighters equated to ****ing with good, strong, above average welterweights and got a heavy handed dose of reality.

[LacedUp]

He is so damn flat footed and the problem is he has been fighting like that all his life so at this point it's going to be impossible to change that.

He has very quick hands but his footwork his absolutely horrible. And its sad because he is clearly athletic but the guy moves like he has cement on his feet. I don't see him beating any of the good WW's.

I've been saying this for years.

[New England]

yes. he's improved. he got better in every fight after ponce. the improvement was easy to see.



he went backwards when he started fighting guys of his own size, but that's very different from declining in ability.

[badnewsbrown]

Finally some people who get it. Funny that everyone bought into the hype and still wont let go lol. They still think he wasn't at his best against Maidana, when in fact, he's the same fighter that you've been seeing all this time!

[ELPacman]

Why would he improve when his style fit well for knocking out midgets? Your not going to learn when you keep winning with little resistance. It's like, if it ain't broke, why fix it? Although now it's broke and he has to fix it.
