The Official Broner vs Khabib master thread.

[////]

All in the footwork and both of these guys have zero of that. Those 30 second stints where they were just trading licking punches with their feet planted were ****ing weird but played right into Broner's style.

Broner will lose to another guy who knows how to bumrush him and ruin his balance.

Good showing for AB.

[alexguiness]

You knew when he was going on about how he was going to pick his opponents now it was going to be someone dumb.

Even if that is his intention and he can take a soft first defense, that is not some kind of long term plan that he should be setting up.

Last night was his first soft defence lol.

Uncle Al got to get that hype train following again.

AB taking over doe.

[Spacey1991]

Random question, I haven't really followed Broner since the Porter defeat, are him and Floyd still close? I know when he lost to Porter Floyd was watching and looked disappointed, did Floyd just brush him aside and wash his hands of him after that?

Still need to watch the Lucas and Broner fights, couldn't stay up for the life of me (UK) so currently downloading the Lucas fight and I'm waiting on a Broner link, were they good fights?

[billeau2]

exactly. It was how it was supposed to be. Haymon wanted it this way.

Its either a trap or a way for Bronner to get his **** together. If he starts the same pattern again when he steps up he will get stopped. If he takes the lesson seriously we may yet see this young man do something...and I don't mean the title of the month. title hunting is ridiculous.

It is obvious that AB has consistent power. Maidana has a tough time in later rounds, and he still couldn't get rid of AB. The Porter bout was just an ambush of pressure Broner wasn't expecting, however, in the last round pounce-hook Porter to the floor.

I knew Khabib wouldn't be able to handle Broner's power, his face got tore up. If you look at the Khabib and Vargas bout, Vargas had to unload a high amount of punches just to equal the face of Khabib vs Broner.

People may not want to admit it, but Broner can neutralize Southpaw's quite well imo. I just thought the fight could've kept on. However, for Khabib's sake I'm not sure if that was a good idea. Dude kept on going like a Chavez Jr.

When Broner steps into the ring with a quality opponent and beats them soundly, I'll line up. But from where I was sitting I saw a fairly undisciplined fighter (Broner) take advantage of another guy who's corner doesn't know how to study tape (Khabib). The keys to beating Broner have been available for a little bit now, it's just plain negligence on behalf of Broner's opponents more than it is skill on his part that hands him the victory.

Everything about this guy is loathsome. I can't stomach his interviews, his cheap five cent imitation of Floyd, or anything about his persona really. Broner should just work on trying to look more like Rick Ross as opposed to Floyd Mayweather, because I can't figure out what his win last night really means in the scheme of things....

bronner had to step back and get some momentum. Doing that against a guy whose corner somehow managed not to get the blueprint on how to beat Bronner, against a guy who is basic plant punch and three hail mary's is what was necessary. You need guys like this Russian as much as you need the A team.

Bronner shows skills. he still has not shown the ability to adapt in the ring and thats a real problem. There is no way he will be succesful if he cannot modify his approach to deal with mobility and pressure. Unless he becomes Roy Jones junior and an unleash five hook combos when his opponent comes in lol.

Time will tell

I think this paragraph is key actually, because this is where some "fans" don't appreciate or understand Floyd Mayweather's style or skill. He's able to fluidly do what Broner can't, which is make those subtle but critical adjustment to his opponent over the course of a fight. Broner may yet learn this skill, but from what I see him exuding as fighter and as a man I seriously doubt it.

Cmon man. You see opinions like yours is what plagues other to steal and spread obnoxious opinions. All the Broner haters said Khabib was going to own Broner, and instead the opposite happened. Look at the Vargas tape against Khabib. It was clear that Broner's power would lit Khabib's face. Broner is a strong 140.

To say he won't be successful is crazy dude. He has 4 titles in 4 different weights...
