Broner is still a great fighter

[JACK1190]

I like most other people have give Broner a fare share of stick in the past but credit when it's due he looked really good, even if it was against a guy doing off 2 losses. Broner handled business looked composed and made it look easier than I thought he would. He also looked like he'd worked on a few things, one being fighting his own fight and not coming off as a bad Mayweather clone, how he got his shots off then turned Molina was excellent as well. Great job!

Few comments from last night's telecast:

LOL at the chorus of boos when the fight announcer said after the fight "let's give these two warriors a round of applause!"

Broner looked alright; he boxed well and didn't over-commit to his offense; his defense looked pretty solid albeit against an opponent who didn't come to fight


On paper, this looked like a good fight with a boxer-puncher against a brawler and I thought Broner would have no problem scoring the KO. However, Molina refused to engage and that left Broner boxing and cautiously pressing his offense. The crowd was booing Broner but it was Molina's refusal to engage the action that made the fight so boring. I think Molina's mindset was "I don't feel like getting beat up tonight so I'm just gonna go into survival mode."

Hopefully in Broner's next fight, his handlers find an opponent who is there to actually fight

However if you go to the master thread, you barely see anyone giving Broner any credit, they are saying that Molina looks like he got paid off.

Broner has shown tonight that he is still a great fighter.

The excuses I have seen made for Molina make me sick.

Why can't you guys give credit where credit is due.

So by that you are saying Matthysse is even better. He got the job done in style........

C'mon, take it for what it was, an average fighter Vs a show pony who I have never regarded as "great" talented for sure, but not great.

He'll be found out again.

Molina got his shine for knocking down Matthysse twice now it's over. He's notHing more than a c level puncher. He didn't even attack Broner and let his hands go. If Broner ever fights Rios he gets killed. That's the fight I want to see. It would be worse than the Maidana fight.

molina was coming off 2 losses. how much credit do you want to give broner for winning a tuneup geez. he's had 3 tune ups in a row now, its time to get that career moving right? time for a top ten guy? he's set the bar so low that guys like khabib, herrera, and postal will look like big fights lol.

Postol and Herrera at this point are bigger fights for Broner yet he will be classed as the A-Side for those fights

Broner is not "GREAT" but he has TALENT. Broner is really good when he comes FORWARD and is not fighting off of his Backfoot. He gets in trouble when he starts backing up and trying to fight off of his backfoot trying to copy Mayweather. But when he is doing work in the POCKET he is VERY GOOD!

[lopetego]

once again proven: the only fighters Broner can KO are pillowfisted midgets

[krazyn8tive]

If broner fights any legit fighter at 140, he gets iced. Crawford, rios, Matthysse...they all beat the brakes off this dude.

Just think...everyone here is calling Molina garbage, got paid off, or was in survival mode...but broner couldn't get a fighter who wasn't fighting back out of there?! smh...he's a hype job
