No Broner fan but he looked great last night, his footwork has always been the weakest part of his game but looked massively improved. His handspeed and pop had Molina afraid to throw a punch, and when he did let his hands go barely landed anything clean. I have him beating Garcia, Matthysse, Herrera, Postol, Provo also think he beats Maidana in a rematch. I know theres a lot of hate for him but people need to start recognizing him as a serious contender again.
Molina fought like dung though. Part of that was Broner, a big part was just Molina I think. Wouldn't be too quick to step him up again, let him develop over 2-3 more fights.
Disagree, Maidana (an average boxer if ever I've seen one) exposed him badly. He might have close fights with all but Garcia but I wouldn't bank on him beating any of them except Herrera, that poor guy couldn't buy a win even if he scored 4 knockdowns!
Matthyse and Garcia would be great fights for Broner. I think they're toss ups. Also, I'd like to see how Mikey Garcia and Terrence Crawford look at JWW. Those 2 guys would also be excellent opponents for Adrien. The JWW division is getting stacked again. Good to see.
He fought like dung because he was scared to let his hands go after tasting the power early, he said himself Broner hits harder than Lucas. It wasn't dissimilar to Hopkins-Kovalev with Molina in survival mode for most of the fight
He looked god enough last night he's getting a little more sensible and he'd give most of them a really hard fight but I'd still favour a few o them over him
Ok, he did look amazing against a very limited fighter. Lets be a little realistic here, he won't call out any of the 140 pounders that are on top of there game.
He didn't say that. 1. Molina has never been a come forward fighter. He is a counter puncher. His counter punching style is similar to Danny Garcia. He needs you to engage, then he rotates his shoulder and punches with you. Only he uses the right hand, and Danny uses the left hook. Im not comparing them as fighters just their counter punching style. The #1 thing i saw in this fight is that Broner can take away Dannys left hook easily. I like broners chances in that fight. Herrera beat Danny fighting a lot like Broner did last night. But i think Peterson is gonna beat Danny anyway.
a whole lotta haters on this forum were predicting a broner loss. broner was so completely dominant, it puts them to shame...and it proves he's the best at 140. ab is the future of boxing....he would own maidana in a rematch...which is why marcos doesn't want the fight.
I honestly don't know about that. For a guy with Broner's athleticism, he doesn't utilize his feet as much as a boxer should when facing a brawler. There were periods of their first fight where Broner looked great when he was in the center of the ring, but Maidana is the much stronger man and I'd imagine he'd probably throw even more punches in their second fight. Maidana is a very strong WW. I think having 24 rounds under his belt with Floyd also helped him learn how to deal with slick boxers. I'm not saying Broner couldn't beat him, but I don't think he'd "own" him.
I don't know about that but the guy is severely underrated I don't like him nor do I have any problem with him He was overrated before the Maidana fight and seriously underrated now
Broner vs JMM would be nice. See how JMM does against a lesser version of Floyd. Provo would do to him what Maidana did I think but Broner is good, on any given night he could beat any of the other 140lbers.
I'd favor Garcia, Matthysse, Crawford over Broner...I think Algieri, Provo, Postol, Herrera give him a TOUGH fight and could beat him....the kid's talented but he has a long way to go to be considered unbeatable in any weight class
