Broner vs Matthysse! Who ya got?

[joesaiditstrue]

Broner by controversial decision if Lucas can't drop him at least twice

I'm riding with Lucas though, I'm pretty sure it goes 12. Broner has a decent chin and good recovery ability and "just good enough" defense to make it 12

People hate broner (more than lucas amazingly) so obviously this poll will be lopsided, but the fight will be competitive and Lucas will not get the benefit of the doubt

[joesaiditstrue]

If Lucas loses to Broner, please retire.

at least you're open to letting everybody know you're a ****** casual fan

most people try to camouflage it more

There's no way Broner wins this fight, Matthysse would beat him up. This isn't like Matthysse-Garcia, I was actually one of the few who gave Danny a chance and said it's a 50-50 fight going the distance. This one I see Matthysse stopping Broner.

I think it will be closer than most people think, but I think Broner has stamina issues and Lucas' body work will wear him down. Lucas TKO 11

also, styles make fights

broner seems to be comfortable with guys who fight at mid-range and has more trouble with guys who push him to the ropes and fight inside, which doesn't let broner get any snap on his shots

lucas can fight inside (he showed that vs Molina), and according to MA on the boxing coalition who lives in argentina, Martin Coggi is trying to get Lucas to fight more on the inside

lucas naturally is a mid-range fighter who looks for openings to land counter shots and will open up to force his opponent to throw. Broner is a natural counter puncher, so it could force Lucas to be more offensive than he would normally want to be, believe it or not, he doesn't throw 100 punches a around like NSB would want you to think

taylor had success when he bullied broner up close, which isn't how Lucas fights. Lucas likes to stand at that mid-range and throw straight shots, which would give Broner opportunities to counter

If Lucas brings his inside game from round 1, I think he wins fairly easily but he can't let Broner dictate his own game

Lots of broner hate here causing people not to think objectively, he's a good fighter

Agree with the bolded. And your're absolutely correct. When Broner is on his back foot, he's much less effective than when he's standing still or coming forward, which is weird because he's a good counter puncher

Broner looks good in eye-catching spurts, his speed could cause Lucas problems.
I think he would be easily pushed back against the ropes by Lucas though, and his lack of defense/foot work would be his downfall against a puncher like Lucas.

A Lucas win for sure.

Yeah, Broner is too easily bullied. The fact that Broner's lateral movement is subpar, you would think he'd let off combos a lot more and flick that jab. That would do a lot more neutralizing of his oppositions offense than just standing on the ropes and shaking his head when he gets hit

[BostonGuy]

Yes Matthysee would devastate Broner just like he did with Garcia. Oh snap, never mind!
