    Broner standing more or less upright here, his arm is not even fully extended. Rees would have had to take two steps forward just to get into range to throw a shot. ***** fight for Broner to take

    What's happened to Broner's calf muscles? He has none.

    @5'7 the size advantage will be on even when he moves up.
    But as of right now, 135lbs is pretty much his to own should he get a chance to try & unify.

    A lot of black people have pretty small, high calves. It means a longer achilles tendon which mean more power transfer, which is why, for instance, black sprinters have an advantage over other sprinters.

    No coincidence Broner purposely got hit with a few testers in the 1st just to make sure it Rees couldn't hurt him.

    This fight was one big marketing ploy, Floyd is getting old and America needs a new star. It was all about putting on a show & displaying skills against a complete non hoper.

    It's just how he's built. Berto's the same way. This is how he's able to look so muscular and still make weight.

    That really isn't that dramatic of a difference. There's barely a foot between their two front feet. The height difference is more stark, and Rees used it to his advantage.
