Comments Thread For: Mayweather on Broner: In His Two Biggest Fights, He Came Up Short

[daggum]

Jumping up to 147....fighting paulie was a freebie...but he would eventually have to fight something real.

maidana and porter aren't elite fighters. they are solid fighters who know how to press the fight. guys like broner/floyd don't have a good style to deal with those type of guys(unless they clinch it up wlad style) so i find it funny that floyd is trying to bash broner when he avoided these type of guys most of his career and when he did fight them a couple times like against castillo and maidana many had him losing.

the bad part about broner is that he not only can't handle these type of guys but he's not that good against boxer types either. for example against ponce or against emmanual taylor. not impressive. floyd at least knew how to deal with that style for the most part cept when pac outboxed him but i think floyd was pretty fade at that point

tbh burning money is worse than throwing money in Walmart

Mayweather beat Pac easily. What fight were you watching?

everything is "so crazy" to Floyd.

Mayweather may have beat Pac and Maidana easily, but you lost when you took the bait.

When he is right he is right.

I thought he was going to use a logical argument and say, it wasn't cool to disrespect the cashier like that for the sake of some hits on instagram, but instead he talks about how Broner is actually trying to save money and at a high status he should have someone else shop for him at walmart, and that no one knew him. Floyd's ego is so big he doesn't even see the actual right and wrong of the situation.

Broner is the new Zab Judah. He will look great against C level opponents, but will never win the big one. I give him his props against Maidana. He got hammered but never stopped trying, so he has the heart.

Actually Broner tried to quit in that fight, but the ref didn't play along.

Adrien tries to emulate Floyd, but fails when he steps up because he doesn't have the ability to think in the ring like Floyd. He gets caught with the same dumb asz punches for 12 damn rounds, can't deal with pressure fighters, and can't think and make adjustments on fly. For example, Floyd v Sugar Shane. Shane threw a jab to the body that Floyd tried to parry, then came with that Right Hand of Doom that hit Floyd flush and almost turned Floyd into a ragdoll. The strategy only worked ONCE, because after he recovered, Floyd adjusted, and neutralised it, resulting in him dominating the rest of the fight. Maidana v Broner, Maidana would throw that punch to the body that Broner would constantly parry, so he started feinting as though he was going for the body, causing Adrien to "parry" and drop his guard, then change the punch's course and get him on his unprotected chin. He did that **** multiple times, and Adrien CONTINUED to fall for it, to the point where he was knocked down by it. Knocked down by a punch/strategy he had seen the WHOLE night.

When you watch the fight you can't do anything but shake your head at how many times Broner responds the same way to that set up by Marcos. It was hilarious(as a boxing fan) but sad at the same time (b/c I wanted to see him recover) to see him look so inadequate in the ring.

In the Porter fight I kept saying in my head, "Throw a check left hook when Shawn lunges in!" He seemed to be intimidated or lost until he finally threw that punch in the last round and got the knockdown, but it was all over by that point. He's mentally weak against top competition.

Some of yall are dumb as hell to even compare throwing dollars in a strip club to throwing dollars in the air at walmart.

Don't let hate of a person do that to yall.
