Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Returns To Win Split Decision Over Granados

[-PBP-]

Broner didnt win, be real.

They both won 4 rounds. The other 2 were up for grabs. Maybe a draw would've been fair

Broner is a decent fighter, but he's nothing like Mayweather. I don't want him to ever make that comparison again in any conversations. He needs to have a little more self discipline and fight at that 140 mark where he has power, because he fought a guy that had lost or drawn 1/4 of his fights and it was still a very questionable outcome tonight. I would've guessed a draw, but apparently Broner's sharper punching and better power shots made the difference. Granados was right about the weight, the scales and possibly a little hometown cooking. I'd like to see more of Granados fighting. He seems like a good dude and puts on a good show. But yea, agreeing with the guy above...and old Pacquiao annihilates Broner. He's not an elite fighter above 140. He's not active enough (Paulie talking about Broner taking too many lulls in rounds). No offense to their crew, but I'd like to see him with a new trainer, as well.

Fcuk Broner...he better cherry pick his next opponents, and keep fighting in Cincinnati..

It's safe to say broner can't hang with the top dogs. Any live body at 147 beats him. He might be able to beat the guerros and Soto Karass's of 147 but that's it. He ain't safe at 140 either

And we wonder why UFC is more popular than this ****.

Action, simple system to follow, one champion per division. What's not to like about the UFC? Boxing is my sport but it needs to clean up its act in so many ways. Fans want more than this.

I also scored the fight as a split decision win for Broner.

Before any of you ****ers say "How can you score it a split decision win dumba$$?" Let me tell you that I suffer from 3 separate and distinct personalities

The problem has a problem at 147 - no power. He HAS to make 140 or die trying. No future at 147.

Granados is a hard luck guy but I don't like that style. Give me at least some slickness - don't run forward with your head down.

Yea granados started nice using his reach then he threw that out the window and just started leaning down head first. If he had just used his Jab more he coulda gave broner way more problems coming in...Broner fights better with a guy coming forward as opposed to him coming forward

Very good fight. Could have gone either way. If it went 12 Granados might have pulled it off.

Broner isn't beating any of the top dogs in the division. His power doesn't translate and he has too many defensive lapses.

Broner should drop back down to Junior Welterweight if not fight a guy like Amir Khan next to gadge his skills more in the division.

Granados hopefully gets another big fight again. He's a handful for anyone in either division.

Ok, I don't practically like broner, but he definitely did enough to win this fight, close rounds,but overall did just about enough...
I understand the hate, but credit it to him in a way....
He will eventually get eaten alive though.

You want to give him chances, but he burnt so many chances at this stage, if he steps in the ring with Peterson it will end very badly for him, god knows what the like of Garcia or Thurman will do to him

Fight broner again or get 2 huge Floyd pay days???? What you picking
