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

[Dip_Slide]

Broner is fun to watch and most importantly that he doesnt go through in the future another depression that takes him to the brink. But with so many close decisions, it doesnt appear he would be able to defeat Pac, Spence, Brook, Garcia, or Thurman. And his original idea of taking over boxing never happened and never will.

He could've been the biggest name in boxing had he stayed at 135-140 lbs, better matchmaking, and focused more on his craft, Broner made rookie mistakes tonight and that's because they never work on fixing his defensive holes, Broner looks good against guys his size and smaller, the way he fights and his mental strength don't help him against bigger more rugged guys, everybody knew from the start that Granados was a stylistic nightmare for Broner who's coming off a year off.

He made the exact same defensive mistakes that he always made, especially on the inside, no use of angles at all, poor head movement and head placement, plus he wasn't nearly busy enough knowing that it's only a 10 round fight, u can clearly tell that Granados had a lot of respect for Broner's power and if there was a bit more urgency and activity from Broner he would've probably dropped Granados who's been dropped 6 times coming into the fight, I'm still convinced that Broner's corner is also one of the biggest problems that are preventing him from being a better fighter. I don't know about Broner's broken hand excuse because it didn't look like it but maybe it was true and it had something to do with his performance.

so broner has lost to

ponce de leon
paulie malignaggi
maidana
porter
granados.

so his record is

30-5-0-1 (24 ko)

... he beat Malignaggi

[Marvlus Marv]

Granados is a mix of Maidana and Vic the Quit - just not quite as good as either, but still good enough to give Broner all he can handle. Does Adrien really think he's good enough to go scrapping even with an OAP Pacman? Let's get it on!

[TaurusJ27]

Granados should've listened to his trainer and moved his head more.

bollocks decision

I predicted Broner wouldn't be able to get through this bum and he robbed his way to a win lol

This guy is the worst modern media creation in boxing.

[TheUptownKid]

Broner is no bum, but he will not beat swarmers or anyone with a reasonable work rate. He just doesn't punch enough. Al needs to be very mindful when putting him in with live dogs.

[CharlieZelepuss]

Broner vs Thurman. Man I want to see Thurman whoop his ass and gain fighting experience from it.

[bojangles1987]

I won't say robbery because too many rounds were too close, but definitely count me in the camp thinking Granados won. Broner definitely won the last 2 rounds, which is huge for his case, but other than those 2 rounds Granados was able to fight his fight every single round.

I can't really call Broner's punches effective if they never stopped Granados from fighting however he wanted for 8 rounds. Am I finding 4 rounds in those 8 that Broner won? Maybe, but definitely not like I can find 6 that Granados won.

[Sadiqkingofko]

Broner won, Idk how a judge gave it 97-93 Grandos

[mlac]

Broner Hold's so much he makes Andre Ward look good.

It's pretty obvious he would get the decision, i said before the fight Granados only way to win was by KO.
