Broner...small? Now I've heard it all.
The guy was one of the biggest super feathers I've EVER seen. He was gigantic, I have absolutely no idea how he did it, its a minor miracle the way he's built. At lightweight he's still huge. |

Ricky Burns knows what it's like to fight a powerfully built, stronger, heavier fighter for 12 rounds, and can do it both outisde and inside, he's had to, he's a boxer, but don't kid yourself and say he cant punch. Burns will go, and go, and go, and go. not Lean in, get hit, get hit, get hit, get hit ,stand there, get hit some more,ala De Marco and he knows how to manipulate the arms and the angles inside |

Im a massive Ricky Burns fan and hes a great guy but they will not be put them in the ring together. Broner will destroy him. Broner is a class act and is massive for the weight. Ricky will move up again I think and more than likely fight against someone like Malinaggi for a world title.

Burns best chance to win from outside, moment Broner gets inside Ricky just puts the earmuffs on and Broner bangs to body Ricky's in for a world of hurt. Both are good punchers to the body BTW but Broner would rip Ricky a new one in the pocket.
Burns needs to get them feet moving like strictly come dancing and plan to do hit and run job because the moment those feet get stuck in the mud he's in serious ish. Broner's not the lightest on feet, little sloppy with his balance but he's got the half step out which will trouble Burns who tends to reach at times and may get caught with sharp counters with right hand,left hook and right uppercut. Burns needs to throw straight punches in bunches. But how long can he stay on the run for because even against Moses and Katsidis he started to slow and stand ground more. Ricky fights tall, Demarco did last night and paid the price even at range. I don't see the Demarco fight like some on here. I never felt Antonio ever looked comfortable or as ''in'' the fight as some do. He was competitive without being really effective.. For me Broner wins, Burns puts up a better effort then Demarco but don't be shocked if Broner gets Burns to play to his tune in there. Broner UD or late stoppage but i favor the UD cos Ricky is tough, real tough. |

I still think Rickys height & reach, spearing jab & slashing hooks have the potential to give Broner fits, no matter how talented he is. You fight Broners fight? Its starting to look like if you mix it up with him he will crush you. Awesome workrate once a fighter stands in front of him great speed, & great accuracy. Ricky wont fall into his trap though, hes already shown that against Martinez after tasting the canvas early & thats why Im quietly confident the Rickster can do a number on him. Soften him up, then move in for the kill late. Like what was supposed to happen with Mitchell, until Ricky closed the show early once the softening up job was done way ahead of schedule. Just my opinion though, I have no doubt people wil see Broner win easily, this fight HAS to happen! Make it so fisheyes, make it so! |

Broner is not that active when you keep him at range, again Burns jab and movement around the ring would be the key.
Also Burns needs to get a good start and rack up a few rounds, something Broner not really used too. |

De Marco didn't fight tall at all, he fought Broners figbt, leaned in, ate the uppercuts.. in fact, the article on the front page says a lot "Unfortunately for DeMarco, he fought a courageous but stupid fight. He gave up his height and reach advantage. He failed to establish his jab and punch in combinations. It wasn’t that Broner took it away, he simply gave it away. More over, when he moved (which wasn’t often), he moved to his left into Broner’s power. Most of the time he failed to establish any kind of range or distance beneficial to him." |
