    What does this do for Broner if he comes out with a W? Does he get some hype back or does he get no credit for beating a smaller guy technically?

    An extremely focused and determined Broner would
    have a rough time with Mikey at LW or JWW. Their
    size isn't all that different and Mikey is light years ahead
    in terms of skillset. This version of Broner is the antithesis
    of focused and determined.

    I don't see a win in the cards.

    IF he wins, I hope he gets the credit he deserves.

    Can't see it happening, though.

    No, the hype bubble's well and truly burst.

    He will get back a measure of respect as a top fighter though.

    The thing is, I thought Broner was just looking to cash out and stopped caring about boxing.

    I'm from UK so can't speak for Garcia's name over in the states, but I never thought he was a huge draw?

    Broner will obviously get a good pay but this is a very tough task.

    Either he's underestimating Mikey, Or has some serious motivation!

    Broner might get stopped late.

    The sad part about Broner is that hes gifted physically and should be one of the top guys in the world right now but he simply doesnt have it between the ears. Garcia eats him for breakfast. I dont even see this fight being competitive.

    Sure, but won't happen.

    Garcia by soul snatching.

    Broner will get KO'd. He doesn't have footwork nor head movement. He just leans back. The punch that does it will be a left hook.

    Broner will get beaten.

    If he did somehow win, he'd gain a lot of respect for sure.

    "The Problem" with this fight is that Adrien Broner has a ugly mug and a weak chin. For someone with as big a head as he has (literally & figuratively speaking), he sure has no chin. Mikey Garcia will be the next one to stop him on his back.

    Adrien Broner still hasn't grown up and acts like a 5 year old that can't be told "no". Such as NO, you are not Floyd. No, you cannot beat women. No, you cannot have your corner brush your hair inbetween rounds. No you cannot talk trash with that voice of yours. No you do not have a billion dollars, nor will you ever.

    Mikey Garcia KO rd 5.

    Seems like a waste of a fight. Broner is a 147 fighter that can't make up his mind between 140 and 147. I don't see what this fight does for Broner, since if he beats Garcia so what. For Garcia this is a good fight, since it allows him to test himself and he can decide if he can go to 140 or not.
