Comments Thread For: 'Maturity process' done, Team Broner says upset of Pac imminent

[HarvardBlue]

This a fight Broner SHOULD win. He's the younger fighter. He has skills. He's fighting a fading older fighter who has seen a lot of ring wars. The problem is Broner just doesn't bring enough to win this fight. He'll go in with that high guard defense and grunt all night like he's doing something while Pacquaio land punches over and over. Broner has to do alot to score an upset. He can't just go in there and be the same AB we've seen the last few years.

Say what you want about Broner......(he deserves most of the criticism to be honest), but he has faced tougher competition over his last several fights than Pacquiao. I think two or three of the guys that beat Broner would beat Pac.

Maidana, Mikey Garcia, Shawn Porter. Maybe even Granados.

Broner was just arrested a few weeks ago.

Maturity process my ass.

You don't understand... it was a mature arrest this time. It's different.

Broner is still carrying psychological damage from when Maidana put him down that first time, and the first time Pac catches him with anything meaningful, he will withdraw into his defensive shell and go gunshy, same with Porter and Mikey, only letting his hands go when he has to or its low risk.

No amount of training will be able to fix that in him. He'll go round after round getting outworked hoping for that no-risk opening that won't come, and end the fight with his corner and everyone else frustrated that he didn't show up again.

100% correct. Notice how he doesn't have that problem when he fights pillow punchers like Paulie, Jessie, that khabib kid, Emmanuel Taylor etc.

[Bronx23]

My only hope is that Pac just beats his ass from pillar to post. If Broner goes out there and exceeds expectations don't rule out some scorecard f-u-ckery. Pacs got the sh-t end of the stick before. & Broner reaped the benefit against Paulie, Granados & Jessie. Not to mention his uncanny ability to continuously fall upward.

this fight might go just like the pac-clottey fight

Granados really ?? lol. Mikey would be 51/49 in his favor for me at this point in Pacs career, I can see Manny beating Porter and as much as I loved Maidana he woulda been eating left hands all night and probably would've been dropped several times.


Broner would lose to Bradley, Jeff Horn, already (unofficially) lost to Vargas and I think him and Matthysse could have been a toss up.

These are silly comparisons though at the end of the day Pac is 10 years older than AB. AB SHOULD be the better fighter than Pac and he's not. Which either shows how great Pac is or how great Broner never was. 30yr Pac vs 30yr Broner would be a complete destruction.

Pacquiao has come a longer road, seen more fights, had more quality wins, reached heights Broner can't even dream of coming within light-years of. Pacquiao is on the other side of the heights he scaled.
If Broner can't do a number on him, destroying him in every department, at this point in Pacquiao's career...then he's been an empty barrel all along. Good chin, wasted talent, the classic shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Ok and? Mature or not Broner is not that good. I don't believe in that and not falling for it this time. He will continue to take punches, not throw his hands and shake his head.
