Broner is good but people make out he is the second coming or something. I give Burns maybe a 25%chance to win over there.

I have watched Broner's last few fights now, and actually rewatched the DeMarco fight yesterday; I have to say that whilst he is undoubtedly good I don't quite see what all the fuss is about..........yet.
If someone is going to imitate another boxer they could do far worse than Mayweather, but someone would have to be very special to emulate his style and make a success of it. Broner clearly bases his style on Mayweather, I see no problem with this, but I just don't think he has shown us enough yet to assume he is the next big thing. Watching the DeMarco fight did not give me any reason to think Burns cannot beat him. I'm not saying Burns will beat him if they meet, although I am with him at the moment, but whatever hapens I really do not think it is the foregone conclusion that many will have us believe either. |

Yeah Ricky, "we're coming for you" but we're not fighting you "over there"

good post.Burns has the tools and ring smarts to beat Broner. Broner looks awsome only if you let him, i mean if if you fight at his range. Broner's fast, flashy and quite hard to hit but thats all within his range, his footwork's average, his mobility around the ring is shit. Burns has the bigger reach and superior footwork so he should use those tools to his advantage imo. Broner's also not really that hard to hit giving his 'the new mayweather' tag. If Burns fights like Demarco did then he'll probably get chopped up just like Demarco but if he's smart and keeps it long with a high work rate then he makes it very interesting. If this fights made it will be a great stylistic match-up, plus both are very tough dudes. Fucking great fight imo. The people on here who think Broner rapes Burns are boxing retards. Burns is far too smart to let that shit happen, there is no way in hell Broner does a Demarco on Ricky Burns! 50/50 fight! |

Nothing changes does it?
I said it before, I'll say it again, Burns-Broner? Broner: Easy work. The Ricky Burns fanclub swore blind that Broner is nout special and that Burns will smash Broner. But most of them also claimed that De Marco was no easy fight, and no forgone conclusion. I predicted easy work, and got hounded for it as usual....and I was still wrong, it was EASIER than even I thought it would be! The Burns fanclub havent got a lot to cling onto now, they are loosing it one by one. Broner then schools De Marco....."Broner is still shit" etc etc Broner has the WBC strapped around his waist, and he has the perfect politics surrounding him. This fight happens in America, it is a Vegas fight. It aint got shit all to do with Broner coming over here, at the end of the day, the WBC is a more prestigious and important belt than the strap Ricky has got. If the fight happens, it should happen in America. For lots of reasons already provided, the main one being, this is prizefighting, and this is where the money is. So Burns fanclub, PLEASE stop clinging onto the, "Broner wont come here" crap, its desperate. He doesnt come here, because the fight shouldnt be here and deep down you all know it.

Exactly.
Broner is the star, he's the man. The fight happens in vegas and Burns is just the opponent. All the stars will be there, brad Pitt, jack Nicholson, LeBron, Angelina Jolie And all those stars will be there for Broner, cheering for Broner, chanting knock him out And broner will deliver. |
