I scored the Ponce De Leon fight a draw but Ponce didn't really pressure Broner all that much, probably because of the weight difference.
Will Ponce De Leon is fighting at 126 lbs and Broner is fighting at 135 lbs. I think Broner has improved but he hasn't fought a boxer as good as Ponce yet since their first fight to show just how much he improved.
No disrespect to Demarco because the dude is a warrior, but he's not got the goods to beat Broner...too fast, too skilled, too strong. Broner stops him middle rounds.
Excellent fight. If Broner is the talent that he's being made out to be, then he should win this fight. This will be an great opportunity for Broner to prove himself and a great opportunity for DeMarco to raise his profile.
I agree to an extent... It will raise his profile but not as much as beating those boys @ 140. Rios, alvarado, Lucas, khan etc...
You act like Broner won't get there. Moving up in weight is a process. He'll get to 140..please never mention Khan with those 3 again....ever.:good
I can see how much he improved. I practice the sport though so it isn't hard to see if you know what to look for. His coordination is more on point as is his timing. His defense has been solidified even more so than before. It's as clear as ever that he has improved.
Time and time again, we see many fighters get over rated before their time or before they prove themselves. Many of them end up getting KTFO, Juanma Lopez, Bute, Khan, Jeff Lacy, Ortiz, etc and the list can go on and on. I am not saying Broner will get KTFO but what I am saying is you are over rating him too soon.
PDL wasn't competitive because of pressure. In fact, coming at Broner is perfect for him. Making him turn is his weakness. Straight ahead punching is his strength. I honestly think Broner carves him up to a mid round TKO ,and I have never been high on him.
