    Mauricio Herrera vs Adrien Broner

    Does Herrera teach Broner a boxing lesson? Herrera doesn't have the power to KO Broner. I think Broner has a lot of pride and would attempt to walk Herrera down.

    I don't think Broner has improved much since his fight with DeMarco truthfully. But Broner has handspeed to bail him out and hes a gutsy fighter.

      Pretty much. If Malignaggi could push Broner close, Herrera could beat him. He'd never get the decision though.

        I can't pick against Herrera. The guy is a blue collar fighter that does whatever it takes to win, whether it's by boxing, brawling, or a combination of both.

          I voted Broner wins a close one. Herrera is as smart and brave as they come and he gets the most out of the ability he has. Broner has more natural ability than Herrera and punches much harder than Herrera. Broner is a decent boxer himself combined with two handed punching power. I think Herrera would win some rounds with tricky boxing. I think Broner would win more of the rounds by walking threw Herrera's light punches to land powerful combinations. Herrera just doesn't have the power to keep Broner at bay the way Maidana did.

            At this point, I can't pick against Herrera. The dude can flat out box. But I don't have confidence that he'll get a decision against any money fighter

              6-6, 7-5 either way but I think Broner gets the benefit of the doubt with the judges.

              Very tight affair with many shouting robbery.

                almost like paulie/broner to me. the power difference is too big of a hurdle for herrera to overcome and get a decision

                  I hate to say it, but if Herrera follows up and fights Algieri and Broner he would have an impressive resume unofficially.

                    This would be "High risk low reward " personified for Broner. I see Mauricio winning in the public's eye but getting robbed on the scorecards (again ).
