Broner has a soft opponent, while Matthysse will fight someone much stronger

I think taylor has a shot and is good enough to make a close fight...in all honesty broner has already been exposed and i think its only a matter of time before he loses again. I dont know if its taylor to do it though but he will go for it in this fight and broner is going to have to earn a win here..

As for ortiz, i just dont believe he is ready for the spotlight on sho on a nationally televised card.. the light might be a lil bright and though he will have some moments here and there i expect mathysse to get the ko win here... i think both fights are good fights imo and the berto fight is a showcase.

Matts is being matched tougher (imo) because he isn't the one 'they' are trying to build up. The card is taking place in Broner's hometown and it'd probably be better for him if Matts loses. Broner has shown enough vulnerability for his match-up to be interesting. All he has to do is make it to 12 and he gets the decision, and Taylor isn't that big of a puncher. He has shorter arms and isn't that quick, but Broner will probably give up his reach advantage to fight on the inside and prove a point. Broner's ******ity gives Taylor a chance at the upset.

He appears to be sturdy, he's never been down. And he can punch. There's a real chance he'll stop Matthysse late or win a decision.

ortiz? he's been KD before, there were a video a fight he won by KO but he was KD pretty bad. but still, his record indicates that the guy can punch, at least in the numbers.

[HanzGruber]

Haymon signs guys but he has his special few that he takes care of. Broner being one of them. Matthysse gets thrown to the wolves.

What wolves? John Molina. The scary Roberto Ortiz lmao mike Dallas. Give me a break

Coming from a guy named "PorterIsFuture"

No, Antonio probably knocks him out.

Come on man, Mayfield is much better than anyone on Ortiz' record. He clearly beat Herrera, who almost everyone had beating champ Garcia.

Hope in what, selling pay per views? Dude we have strong champions. Mayweather is great boxer that his arrogance sells for wrong reasons. You're using hope the wrong way. Algeri is hope because if not him then who. Trust me there will always be a black prospect. Maybe not a cash cow but a strong champion.

Nice you still see things in black n white. This isn't the 60s anymore. Smh.

Uhhh have you looked at the rankings for everything above 154 lbs in the past decade?

[SUPREME.]

Taylor isn't very good.

He was schooled by Algieri and knocked down by Mayfield (most people thought he received a gift decision over Mayfield).

Most people didn't think that, so please, shut the hell up.

You'll do anything to discredit a black fighter.

[WarMaidana]

im sick of GBP and Haymons treatment of Matthysse. All the guy gets is low reward high risk fights. They are softening him up for Broner no doubt or they are trying to get him out of the picture so he doesnt whoop that SOB broner or garcia in a rematch

[Black Barty]

I fail to see the big difference in quality between Taylor and Ortiz.

But Ortiz must be a bada.ss because Matthysse is awsome and Taylor must be a tomato can because Broner is a fraud, right?
