    Broner gets disoriented against pressure fighters. He panics. (Credit to Maidana for exposing his flaw. Did you see Porter rushing to get to him after every break up?) Broner just doesn't have the skill to fight in close quarters and his main defense is to clinch. Berto is way better on the inside and could unleash power shots even on the ropes. Give Guerrero the same ref as in the Berto fight and it will end up the same.

      the Guerrero fight is a perfect comeback fight really. Guerrero is taller but he's not a big welter. He's not going to hurt Broner, he's far slower, his right hook is nonexistent really and he can't avoid a right hand. Broner wins and easily.

      2ndly, don't exaggerate Broner's position; he lost two decisions to two good, solid fighters, he wasn't knocked out or humiliated in his last fight. He just fought wrong and thus lost more rounds than he won. And with Broner, there is clearly room for possible improvement because he has the physical attributes and the youth to do these things, like let his hands go, use jabs or hooks to the body instead of forearms to throats. Otherwise, Guerrero is a good fight for him.

        He might Guerrero, but I guarantee he wouldn't impress.

          Broner beats Guerrero who has looked horrible.

          Algeria-Broner is more competitive; make it happen.

          Money is on Algieri.

            Anyone he fights will apply the Maidana recipe.

              Not over in an absolute career sense but over as far as his aspirations and the aspirations of his backers go. He'll likely continue to make a decent living in comparison to the vast majority of boxers operating in the sport but his chances at multi million dollar paydays are going to go south unless he can turn things around in a major way. That's all that's meant.

                Guerrero mauls him

                  Every time Broner has step up to the competition he had his chit pushed in.

                  Heck, and that's on a c+ like Maidana and a B- on Porter.

                  Overrated hypejob.

                    When it boils down to it, Broner is essentially just a better version of this guy

                      I watched this video...and then thought, you know what? At least this guy got every concievable bit of awesome out of the deal.

                      Broner actually has some talent and ability doe, so it's a bit of a stretch.
