Comments Thread For: Algieri Says Taylor is Capable of Shocking Adrien Broner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri is very familiar with Emmanuel Taylor (18-2, 12KOs). Algieri won a tough ten round decision over Taylor in February. Two fights later, Algieri is a beltholder and challenging WBO 147-pound champion Manny Pacquiao on November 22nd in Macau.

Taylor has been able to position himself for big things as well. He won a ten round decision over once highly regarded Karim Mayfield in July, and now faces one of the most recognizable names in boxing, Adrien Broner (28-1, 22KOs), on September 6th at the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.

It wouldn't be a shock to me. Broner usually wins with some skill and some size advantage. Maidana was too big, now Taylor might be too skilled and big enough. Some people hate Broner for his outside ring life, but that's not about boxing. He only risks his own health acting unprofessional, the ring is an unforgiving place.

Yeah really, I wouldn't be shocked either. I haven't seen much outside of the Mayfueld fight from Taylor but we've seen Broner and if this guy can move he stands a shot of winning. Broner is nothing special IMO.

Taylor to linear for me, but sounds like he plans in grinding broner out and broner isn't exactly fleet of foot

I expect him to be competitive.
Broner close decision maybe a controversial one.

If you are willing to eat one in order to land one when broner lifts his shoulder up his entire jaw is open, it's how Maidana got that first knock down. Right jab to the body to get him to cover low raise his shoulder follow through with a left hook upstair and THWACK. The holes in Broner's defense are glaring ones and ones that should've been corrected years ago, combine that hole with his stance and a power puncher has a field day on him.

Taylor is 23 yrs old and there's not much power generated. He will be fighting in Broners home town (Cinn.) and will be at a disadvantage.
We will see again what Adrian is about by his conditioning and his performance in this match. I know what this kid was taught and I've yet to see him perform at a high level. When he fought Rees he gave Rees those first two rounds on purpose then blew him out. He forgot that Rees was a picked opinion for him and he had no power. Once you begin to fight men who are top ten caliber fighters plus men your own size you can't use set up games on them.
I expected a lot after the Paulie bout then again after Maidana so far its still him being satisfied to earn a buck but not go for it all. I was impressed with him not giving in against Maidana after taking solid shots. He fought back and did well considering.
Book is still opened with this kid, he is a dumb azz outside boxing and still an immature fellow but I see talent but so far not much between the ears!
