Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Tabs Pacquiao Over Broner, Doesn't Rule Out Upset

That is a good assessment by Paulie. Pretty much dead on.

This is a perfect fight for Pac. Pac cannot beat Porter, Spence, or Bummed. Not today. Broner actually has really good skills. Fast hands, fast feet, and decent power. AB is a very good defensive fighter. But that is his problem too. He tends to focus solely on defense and not getting hit when his opponent throws a lot and is very aggressive. While AB doesn't take much punishment when he shells up, he loses every round from refusing to throw anything. He doesn't really counter, he just holes up.

And Pac doesn't have any power for a ww, but he still has speed and throwing punches in bunches from odd angles. If Pac stays busy, AB will probably make sure he doesn't take punishment until the 10th or 11th round when he realizes he needs a ko.

As much as I like the match-up, it still isn't worth paying for. I doubt it sells half as good as they predict. But I have been wrong on ppv numbers before, so we will see. It is just people paying to see Pac. Of course, when you have an all-time great match-up like Ward-Kov, it bombs. And Floyd-McGregor sells over 4 million. smh

Hes a defensive fighter, but I dont think hes very good at it. Then when he gets pressured he really tries to shell up and stops throwing. Pretty much guarantees he will be outlanded by any A or B level fighter. Even smaller guys like Mikey Garcia.

I can see Pacman making Broner cry, like he did to Rios. I think his victory would be that dominant it might be the end of AB. Probably go off the rails big time and do something really ****** - even for him. Buboy seems to be tapping in to the badass in Manny again.

I say again, Broner can win with a KO. Pacman can't KO Broner.

I can't see any result other than Pac by a UD.

Broner is pretty easy to hit and I believe he will shell up and Pac will be able to unload.

It's an interesting fight, worth watching IMO.

Call me crazy but this fight might be more competitive than many think lol

I think Manny wins but Broner doesn't mind taking a beating lol

In all of his losses he's never been stopped and he always lands some solid/flashy stuff in the second half of the fight.

He'll do some decent work. Manny wins though.

Although broner loses to top competition he always seems to buzz them at some point. He hit Maidana late as hell after the bell so I won't count that but he caught Porter, he hurt Mikey with a body shot, and he had Vargas looking uncomfortable late in their fight with a few good blows.

I predict that he'll catch Pac a couple times and as long as Manny doesn't get old over night like Cotton did against Ali I think he'll shrug them off. Pacs been hit by harder punchers than Broner.

I wonder how AB is gonna act in the ring. Pac is always about that sportsmanship and sometimes too friendly in there, will broner try to be dirty and disrespectful.

I think broners only chance is to rough Pac up, out muscle him to tire him out and then try to put hands on him.

Pac just has to be Pac. I hope to see a vintage version of him looking to hand out the best ass whooping possible. He looked like he had a little bit of that meaness he used to have against Lucas but who knows

Anybody can lose at 40. In his prime, Pac actually stops Broner with pure punch volume. Broner is a small Welterweight - pretty much the type of 147-lber that Pac can stop.

I talked to Broner last week at a local fight in Cincinnati. One of his fighters was on the card. All Imma say is put money on Pac. I'm a Broner fan but if anybody wanna put money on him I'm taking all bets

[5000boxing]

If you are a mug like me and gambled on Broner your pockets must be severely sore. Broner last fight after being stung so much backing him I betted against him to lose against Vargas and still lost.

Anything Broner, I lose money . I’m still shocked how he gets all these opportunities because he has looked garbage for 3 years straight

Lol his loses were to marcos maidana, wbc champion shawn porter and multi division champion Mikey Garcia.. u thought he looked garbage in those fights? Wtf.. broner is solid.. he just jumped up in weight to fast.. trying to take advantage of paulie.. the weakest champion at ww at that time..

[NachoMan]

Pac beats Danny and Porter straight up although he'll never fight Porter after the Horn mess (2 caught, headbutts, etc.). Pac probably TKO's Danny to if we're being honest.

TC dominates Pac at this point and I don't see that fight happening.

Where most will disagree with me is Spence. Pac hurts Spence several times and I'd have to see it to see how Spence would respond. Spence has shown he can be hurt as he's willing to trade with opponents. Although Pac is older he can still pick his shots very well and is very crafty.

Manny should beat Broner also. Possibly by stoppage.

You're nostalgic. Pac cannot beat any of the top WWs at this point, and that includes DSG. Pac loses to Jeff Horn in a rematch.
