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

I'm the same way. I became a huge boxing fan because of Tyson and De La Hoya but I don't watch it as much anymore. About 4 years ago I started to become a MMA fan and like you said it is just better right now. I'll add on to your list, the best fight the best in their prime unlike May vs Pac, less robberies like Ward vs Kovalev, no lame disputes over ring size, glove size, purse size. What is sad about boxing is 95% of the time you can predict who will win the fight if it's a close fight. Just look who is the bigger name, draw and the hometown/country the fight took place.

Yeah, I think corruption is at an all time high. It's always been a somewhat dirty sport but it's getting worse. A lot of times the guy who comes to fight, just gets clinched, held and robbed after battling an opponent and the referee and the judges. Then guys will say the guy got schooled. It's ridiculous.

I've never seen such a mediocre fighter get so much attention. Broner wouldn't be able to beat Berta or even Dulorme at this point.

I think you're grossly under-estimating Granados and the tough rugged style of fighting he employs in the ring is very effective.

So you hate when they use it for whole fight. Those who do that are dumb anyways.

Exactly....

Typical Bonehead... always with the excuses and whining like he has to be coddled with the special treatment. let's all get behind the big mouth who THINKS he's special. Barely won against a fighter any of the top 5 would have easily handled.

A.B..... About Bullshiiiii

A guy that calls himself about Billions barely draws 5k in his hometown and shows why he would get beat by any elite guy at 147 and few not so elite guys at 147. Great night for boxing.

lol he should've took the Pac payday ...whatever they were offering..4million?

He'd make 1-1.5 million facing Garcia, Thurman, Brook, Spence and lose..

It was not a robbery. Broner was less active but clearly landed the better, cleaner shots.

Granados kept running in face first leaving himself vulnerable to power punches.

That's a valid point. At the same time, Broner just didn't let his hands go enough.

This was another fight where it was a question of who you like more? Both did good work and a lot of rounds were competitive.

Do you like the guy who's like a bull who works a lot, but his punches might not be as clean and crisp?

Or do you like the guy who lands sneaky punches that look good and land good, but not nearly as often?

It was close but clear winner was Granados

This type of styles match up is always fascinating and entertaining to watch, but a nightmare to score.

Fun fight. Broner won't beat any of the top guys at 147 though.


Garcia Thurman Spence Brook would all beat him.

No way possible, Broner has absolutely no shot at 147, if he can't make 140 anymore he should just fight showcase fights at 147 to make the most money possible while avoiding any top welterweights, he should do that for a couple of years and then get in there with another superstar to make a big payday that he can retire off of.
