    I had it a draw but I can see why people think PDL was robbed also.

    Biggest hypejob in years.

    Nothing but a gimmick.

    Will lose to the first decent fighter he faces.

    Hell he already lost to PDL.

    But those Haymon corrupted judges robbed PDL.

    He has good potential.


    This **** about him being a "hype job" or "over-hyped" is typical ESB hysteria. It's a backlash from guys who post on this forum who are pissed that other posters here like the dude. In reality, he just headlined his first BAD card. If you think that's being "massively over-hyped," you must have just started watching boxing.

    He has a lot of potential, would like to see go up to 140 where the real challenge is at.

    no real opinion of him at the moment, other than what comes out of his mouth... which is utter shite!

    Decent boxer at this moment in time, nothing more, nothing less. Time will tell if he's the real deal, nothing else...

    Ponce de leon is a midget compared to him but still gave him all he could handle. let's see him fighting guys his own size.

    He's good but not that good nor is he going to be as good as all the knobjocky *****'s want him to be.

    He tries too hard to copy Floyd but it's actually at detriment to his own abilities. He copies Floyd's moves but does it in a predictable way

    He's a stiff boxer and you can literally see him thinking

    I think he is a class act, but would love to see something detonate on his chin..

    lol. it was nothing less than a draw. couldve gon either way.
    Ponce landed nothing meaningful in comparison to broner.

    since when is a close fight like that a robbery? a real robbery is pacquiao vs marquez III

    Oh he's real. The guy is one hell of a fighter. Technically very sound, good defense with a finishers instinct. He's going to win alot of fights and be fun to watch do it for years to come.

    I think he's good but that's about as far as I'd go. He'll have a career similar to someone like Devon Alexander, who I went out on a limb to say was overrated when he was still undefeated and he was being touted as the next big thing. He's solid but not spectacular. He'll get a couple of world titles because the divisions he's in are fairly weak but he'll never come close to the P4P rankings or beat a great opponent.
