What have I missed (regarding Broner)

[Kigali]

Broner is talented and he's never really been beat up. He looked awful against Maidana but he had some good moments especially towards the end of the fight when Maidana started to fade. I'm solid picking Mikey but he hasn't faced anyone like Broner. If this fight get into the late rounds who is to say how Garcia will hold up. He really hasn't gone long distances and he's only fought twice in 3 years. It wouldn't be a shock if Broner pulled this off, I just can't pick him.

Plus Mikey is the smaller fighter

This is his first fight at 140

I heard that a lot as he was coming up, that he was a special talent etc etc, but as soon as he fought malignaggi, everything was confirmed for me. Flat footed, leaky guard and poor all round defence. I think they were pushing for a star but they were overly eager. Only thing I saw from him was power at lower weights, which didn't carry up.

Broner was definitely not focused against Paulie. I honestly think he underestimated him and was distracted without all the social media BS. I haven't seen him focused since that fight so that's my biggest problem in picking him now. It's not because he can't box.

I know, it's a tough task to pick Broner to move up. They must know something we don't.

Broner doesn't do well against people who swarm him. Mikey doesn't do that.

That's one reason Broner has a chance to win. Mikey is not nearly as big as the two men who beat Broner. Broner hits hard enough in the late rounds to badly hurt the rugged Porter with one left hook in the 12th round. I expect Garcia's better skills, stamina and defense to win the fight but I won't be shocked or surprised if Broner wins. Broner looks lean, fit, and in good shape. He should be at his best, however good that is or isn't. He will probably outweigh Garcia by about 10 pounds in the ring.

Paulie beat him, granados beat him, ponce de leon arguably beat him.

He won world titles via vacant belts or against random nobodies.

the two times he fought decent fighters he got the **** beat outta him. lost 11 rounds to 1 v porter and made to be madianas b*tch in the other

The biggest POS overrated scumbag in recent boxing history, he will probably quit tonight, after getting battered, and hopefully we'll never see him again.

If that's true I won't miss him. He is one of the most disrespectful, obnoxious boxers in the sport in my opinion. If he wins this fight his boasting will go through the roof. We will hear how great he says he is in every other boxing scene top headlines.

its because of the hype early on when he was unbeaten. rather than people looking at themselves and admitting they dont have a clue what they are on about, they decide to make out that the fighter is 'wasted potential', and that they went off the rails rather than the cold truth being that the fighter was never good in the first place and they rated a guy who wasnt much good. I never understood the hype, looks like a rabbit in the headlights when someone throws punches at him and his footwork is basic. Hes consistently been mediocre, from the robbery against ponce de leon, to the split decision against shot to **** malignaggi, and then the very one sided losses to maidana and porter.
