Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner: I Only Beat Myself; I'm Tired of Coming Up Short

Broner go to Vegas/Cali for this camp........

Broner needs to be in there with razor sharp sparring partners because Mikey will be and Garcia is definitely a pound for pound top ten. Not really sure what Colorado can offer in terms of a vast talent pool without bringing in people which I hope they do and bring in real competition to push him.

Can't take his word for it anymore. We've heard similar things in the past about how things are different now and then a little while later we see a mugshot.
AB gotta start proving himself

Exactly! Mouth is made to say anything. And as far as his mouth is concerned, it said quite a few. I think it is wise for us and him to let the action do the talking now.

What's ridiculous is that people actually believe the garbage Broner spews here.

He doesn't lose because of dedication or laziness or anything besides being worse than those that beat him. That's why he barely squeaks by mediocre fighters, because he's barely above average himself.

Truth right there.

The guy made his name showboating and talking mad smack while beating up much smaller guys, with himself not even making weight too often as an extra advantage.

Once he upped his level of competition and fought guys his own size, he was exposed for the hype machine he was.

eric crumble only beat himself. if he was dedicated he would have won one fight or at least not have gotten knocked out every fight

Maidana took it to ur sorry ass and had u sheepishly crawling around the ring on all fours begging for a dq after his head grazed ur chin. Garcia easy points win over ur lazy underachieving ass.

Will anyone rank this as an upset if Broner wins? I've said in all threads relating to this fight that it aint no foregone conclusion and if AB takes it serious and turns up it will be his fight to lose. I can honestly see Broner stopping Mikey, bad move from team Mikey taking this fight, should have tried hard to get the Linares fight IMO

If he trains, he has a great chance of winning. He fighting a smaller opponent. I wouldn't call it an upset, Garcia challenged himself and moved up to fight a worthy opponent.

Weve heard it all before. AB is all focused now and turning over a new leaf.

[CLUBBER!]

in other words, broner can only beat on smaller guys.

lol my thoughts exactly. As plump as he gets, he should be fighting in the 154 JMW division.

[The Gambler1981]

I guess that is good but it is hard to actually pull that off unless he actually realizes what the issues are. If he is going to fight in the same way and try to fool guys with his flim-flam tricks then he will change nothing.

The thing with Broner is he has physical talent, obviously not enough to cover his flaws above 140 but he does have some. He has been around the gym enough to pick up some tricks because he does have them, he just has no idea how to use them to really change a fight. The whole problem is how he puts it all together which is a mental aspect that could be helped with better preparation but I don't know if that will allow him anything other than maybe a good plan A and maybe something to fall back to as a vague plan B. Plus his offense is better than his defense so the fact that he continues to fight defensively when that is not his strong suit just shows a lack of understanding what his actual abilities are and how to really exploit them.

People think Broner is good because he wears fancy trunks and tries to use the shoulder roll but the reality is, he lost every time he stepped up in competition. Porter, Maidana, soon to be Garcia and he could have 1-2 other losses too. He's your typical B level guy.
