Don't need judges, I'm my own judge, I've seen the fight a few times, and I don't score body punches that miss or hit elbows, the fight was competitive but Ponce didn't do a whole lot, just like Broner didn't, Ponce applied the pressure and threw more punches, and Broner landed the harder cleaner punches, UD Broner... Every fighter has a close fight or two every one of them, you act as if Ponce dominanted or put on a boxing clinic lol, no one won going away, it was a close fight...UD Broner... Meanwhile Ponce is getting KO'ed while Broner is collecting belts two divisions up...
Judging Broner in the ring, he went life and death with a never was shot Malignaggi for God's sake! .......and fans do pay attention to a fighters personna in and outside the ring. I dont give a flying hoot what Broner does outside the ring, but inside the ring and in press confernences that should be talking boxing, he's sure to make an ass of himself everytime. Its his vocabulary that I just find to be outright embarrassing. He tends to verbalize everything way down low to the gutter, like he's never seen anything but the gutter. Everything is about toilets and **** and thats just nasty and fowl. Broner is an uneducated fowl talking gutter thug. He talks that type of talk so he should be treated like the lowlife thug **** that he is.
Well the ref was letting Khan get away with pushing maidana away. Khan should have gotten dq'd that fight so **** you. And I see Broner winning this one btw.
It's well-known that Maidana is nothing but a one-dimensional predictable wild slow plodder. All he has is chin, power and stamina. Ancient Morales schooled him and was robbed.
Again I could care less what comes out his mouth I'm a fight fan only, I'm not looking for a role model, this is a blood sport, if you want to see nice wholesome athletes maybe you should go watch tennis... By the way how is trying to chase down an athletic, no power having, piity pat punching, defensively sound Paulie going life and death, lol Paulie didn't come close to hurting or stunning Broner, the man moved up two divisions against an elusive opponent who doesn't engage and still did enough to win a remain undefeated, also will most likely be fighting Maidana who so many hopes ko's Broner...sounds like the boy is on the right track to me...
Go to the 6:30 mark of this video. Ray Mancini is pretty accurate about how most feel about Broner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sFEdNd8OTkA Goes to show that fighters have opinions about fighters conduct as well, and Mancini thinks he's a pretty good fighter.
Broner does sounds like a scripted ******, he says dumb ****, most of his jokes are stupid, he tries to hard to be a clown and the whole brushing his hair **** is lame, I just don't focus on any of that ****, I could care less how he acts, he could be the most respectable, intelligent nice guy there is or he could be who he actually is, at the end of the day diesnt matter which personality he has I will still like his game in the ring, its not my job or desire to judge him....
Strictly judging talent, I think Broner is a little bit better than a B level fighter who'll never thrive in the big stage. I think in his last two fights he faced less than B level competition and he did'nt look very good in either of those fights. Broner is fast and strong enough, but there is'nt any indication to me judging from those fights that Broner is headed to be a great fighter. He looked very beatable in each of them.
Well until that time comes where a fighter beats him then we can critique him on that performance, there's a few fighters at or around welter that I'd pick to beat him, but even when/if he loses I'll still watch him fight and ride with him to win depending who he fights, I'm not a bandwagon fan, I'm not praying fir his downfall..hell I'm still a Berto fan, and he's C+ at best, I still ride with him even when I truly feel he will lose, every fighter can't be A+ elite, and everyone will not remain undefeated, I will enjoy this Broner kids fights for however long he lasts...
Sadly these days you have to act like an ass/clown to gain attention and obviously he succeeded which is why he's constantly being discussed.
There IS a Mexican talent 23 yr old as good or even better than Broner you idiot! And he's fighting the real deal, the best fighter in the game. Canelo already beat a top 154lber too. What has Broner done? Got a gift decision against Ponce Deleon who went 2 divisions up to fight him and couldn't knock him out, yet Abner Mares could? :rofl Faces the weakest champ at 147 and barely beats him too? You can keep that jigaboo Mexicans have better journeymen than him like Soto-Karass. Shoo shoo!
Maidana got shut out against alexander. but to say matthysse couldnt do **** against devon and zab is just being biased...both were kd, both sd, both controversial...dont go overboard with generalizations.
