Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Returns, Wins Tough Decision Over Jovanie Santiago

[darealperfect!]

There are a couple big differences between Gatti and Broner. Gatti never ran his mouth like Broner; AB will talk before, during and after a fight about what he's going to do to an opponent (but then never actually does it). This leads me to the other major difference; Gatti actually entertained in the ring. There was a good chance someone was getting stretched in a Gatti fight. AB will throw a few punches each round and keep his guard up the rest of the time so he doesn't get embarrassed like he did against Maidana. Simply put, Gatti was a warrior and Broner is not. When you entertain and please the fans, alot of personal flaws will be overlooked.

anyone who steps into the ring is a warrior period! AB runs his mouth cuz he's selling a fight. thats why he can still get good fights because people will pay to watch. AB throws less and less now but his past recent fights like Shawn Porter and Garcia were entertaining.

I have respect for anyone who steps into the ring and avoid referring to fighters in any type of derogatory or insulting manner.

Gatti and Broner are not the same, they attracted their fanbases in different ways and fought much different styles. Im not saying one way of doing it is better than another even if I have my own preference.

As for AB's fights, for me, the last time I thought he was entertaining was the final round of the Porter fight. Prior to that round, I remember him being thoroughly outworked. I thought his fight with Garcia was much like the rest of his fights of recent; AB keeping his guard up and doing his best not to get hit or throw punches.

To each their own though, we don't all have to agree with what we like...I'm sure there are fighters I like that others don't.
