The Official Broner vs Khabib master thread.

Slow? Broner is one of the proven fighters to stay in the pocket and counter. You might ''see'' that as slow, but Broner is a counter fighter.

Broner not at 147 and now focused. I think Broner is going to win this title by KO. I say the 7th. =)

Yes he is very slow. He has good handspeed, but thats where that ends. Hes only able to be a decent counterpuncher when facing someone who moves with all the nuance of a tree like DeMarco.

Someone with ok speed and decent workrate and Broner can't put a dent. He puts up his mediocre shoulder roll, waits for their combination to end, then throws useless shoeshines.

Broner won't be able to stay in the pocket and counter against someone taller with the reach advantage who is a lot better at managing distance like Benavidez. Broner tries to close the distance the way he normally does, he'll find himself running right into a straight right hand.

Please don't confuse Broner with Pac.

Please don't confuse Broner with Pac.

lol yes because Broner's some sort of defensive wizard.
Well, unless you consider getting hit in the face and shaking his head "defense", but that type of "defense" will get him layed out.

broner back to cherry picking in a weak division? well at least he will be a world champion again. stay below 147 for your own safety flat foot wannabe.

i wonder what broner will do if he loses to this kebab guy haha... o wait probably another al haymon title shot nvm...

Dude is a b rated guy who had success beating up on smaller guys, that's why he's back at 140. There was too much heat at 147.

As a fan of Broner, I feel really bad that Provodnikov fight didn't go through.



Broner would of beaten Prov, but he has absolutely no chance against Khabib.



One more night, easy work Khabib.

Is Khabib Allakhverdiev any good? Is Broner in trouble?

Broner is in need of a win and also look good to get his career back on track. Another loss would be devastating. I don't know much about Khabib Allakhverdiev.

Should this be an easy fight for Broner or is Khabib a serious threat?

Yes, he is the best 140lber in the world, IMO.


He got robbed against Vargas but the only reason that fight was even remotely close was because he started off really inactive and wasn't letting his hands go early. He almost KO'd Vargas at the end.... he's 10000x better than Vargas. He was inactive early because allegedly his stomach was hurting and he was trying to conserve himself but in the later rounds his ache went away.


Broner is getting TKO'd, the referee will have to stop it. Khabib is not letting this get to the cards.


Khabib beats Mattyhsse, Postol, Pac, etc. Any active fighter at 140. IMO.

Right...because most boxers just fly through weights and win titles which is why they are B rated guys. Broner challenged Maidana and Porter at 147, went 12 rounds, lost, so I guess it's because as other say he picks on little guys.

I guess all title holders than have moved in weights and lost here and there, we say, ''oh they just picked on smaller guys starting their career.''

Genius trollers.

Khabib is legit. This is no way an easy fight for Broner.

But i do agree a loss here and Broner may be done as star attraction. He has the talent but needs to focus
