I think this is going to be the absolute best Adrien Broner we have ever seen

    What do you people want? You want me to kill myself for making an incorrect prediction? It's not gonna happen

    Broner is a bad style matchup for Pacquiao, as you could see from the first 6 rounds, because Pacquiao doesn't like defensive counterpunchers, and broner has the Power to knock an old Pacquiao out.

    Get off your high horses, anything can happen on fight night, if broner caught Pacquiao coming in with a counter, a knockout could have happened. That's what I thought was going to happen.

    I said from the beginning I didn't put any money on the fight because I wasn't sure. I made this thread because I was hyped about the fight and people were overlooking broner.

      Why are you going back and fourth with children that calls fighters names like Almost Bumlevel? There kids. But yeah terrible pick, I'm happy Broner lost, and he's a gatekeeper.

        I thought Broner was going to frustrate Pacquiao with his defense, catch him coming in, Pacquiao was going to get impatient and anxious, which gives Broner a lot of looks.

        On top of Pacquiao being 40 years old and Broner being in phenomenal shape in his prime, in the biggest fight of his life, I thought he could pull it off.

        That's my assessment of the fight. There's nothing insane or illogical about what I thought.

          Did the old Teddy Atlas trick... Make the unpopular prediction so in the unlikely event that Broner won you'd look like the genius.

              you admit you were wrong but show some respect to manny!! this is what i didnt understand before the fight mofos making comments like broner "can stop manny if he throws more" etc.!

              like that's not how you stop manny and its not that easy! yall banking on that marquez ko acting like all you have to do now is tap pac and he'll go to sleep, etc. lol. broner never had the power to ko pac.

              yall can pull my post up i said this will look similar to pac vs lucas where pac will not respect broner's power because pac is the naturally 147 fighter even though broner will be bigger. i said the fight can only be competitive if pac's timing is off and he cant hit broner.

                There's nothing disrespectful about saying a guy is old.

                Where else do you see 40 year old guys beating championship level fighters in their prime.

                All the conditions were right for a knockout. Broner is a defensive counterpuncher, in his prime, with power. Pacquiao is old, the smaller fighter, gets frustrated and over-aggressive against defensive fighters, has been knocked out before.

                Marquez set up the blueprint to beat Pacquiao, Floyd perfected it, and Broner failed at executing, even though he has all the tools and ability to get it done.

                  Yes, when making predictions it has to assumed that both fighters will want to win and so will fight accordingly. But what obviously happened is Broner lost his courage, to put it mildly. Actually I'll say that Broner is gutless which explains a lot eg his history of failing to let go is because he doesn't want to risk getting counter punched. We may like to think that all boxers have courage, unfortunately Broner is the exception.

                    Saying there's a blueprint to beat Pacquiao makes me think about Jeff Horn and how people say Horn beat Pacquiao.

                    That's laughable lol.

                    More than half of Jeff horn's landed hits were Illegal. Behind the head, hammer fists, clamping and hitting, elbows, punches on the back, headbutts, forearms, headlocks. There is no single foul that Horn didn't commit. The only thing missing was horn biting his ear, and the ref still wouldn't have called it.

                    Even after the entire fight was rigged, Pacquiao still outlanded horn.

                      Yeah but you kinda acted like people were dumb for saying Broner had no chance which realistically he didn't.

                      Broner isn't a bad style match up for Pacquaio AT ALL. The fight proved it.
