Official Adrien Broner Vs Emmanuel Taylor Master Thread, Predictions & Discussion

[Build That Wall]

My observations on this fight...

1. If Broner fought the way he fought in Round 4 all the time, he'd probably beat everybody at 140

2. Broner indeed has great conditioning. That knockdown punch with 20 seconds left in RD 12 snapped just like his punches did in RD 1.

3. Mike Stafford is a great coach. His advice was spot on.

4. Broner is CLEARLY attempting to evolve his style and box a little more.

5. Despite #4, he still needs to develop this style some more.

6. Broner DOES listen. When encouraged to box, I could see Broner early in the round following attempting to box more, use head movement and be more elusive.

7. If you haven't boxed, you can't understand just how difficult it is to change styles and the habits that enabled him to become a 3x world champ. Will take time.

8. Guys who can box on the outside will still give Broner fits.

9. Guys with power are still a great danger to Broner until his boxing style evolves more.

10. Broner's ring entrance was wildly entertaining.

11. Broner is easily the most charismatic person in the sport today.

12. The fight was good, but honestly, it shouldn't have been this close. Shows Broner still has work to do.

13. Great post fight interview and show of respect by Broner

14. Taylor is a solid B fighter. Not much more.

15. Inside fighting is fun to watch. Wish there were more fighters really good at it.

All of this is true.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Broner was kind of hunched over in the later rounds and his mouth was wide open. If just throwing one hard punch is an indication of "great conditioning", then it should apply to Maidana too.
