    Nowhere close to an elite fighter gets hit too cleanly to wide and sloppy and to content to stick his chin out and take a blow.

    young, raw, weight drained at SMW, inexperienced, but with good potential

    I have always said his achilles heel is his defence

    when he move up he need to worry.....a guy with his length and talent shouldnt get hit that easy against a fighter like johnson

    Hes still a prospect. Guy moves well, Got great stamina and speed for how big he is but I can see some defense error and a lack of power. Needs some improvement. Still a kid, he'll get better over time.

    Broner still needs his hair brushed and his shoes tied by his father... I doubt he even is 22. :think

    He's pretty good, has fought quite strong competition while moving up the ranks, unlike a lot of prospects. Seems weirdly good on the inside for someone so tall, definitely has some flaws defensively though. Luckily he seems to have a good chin. Not ready for the likes of ward bute etc but he has plenty of time to improve, maybe a future world champion

    Quite impressed, looks like a genuine prospect. Would like to see him take on 1 or 2 more top 30 ranked apponents before stepping up agains a top 10 fighter.
    Definately needs to tighten up on defence, but otherwise looks like a well rounded classy fighter.
    Possibly has the potential to cause problems for anyone in the division, but won't be easy given the quality that exists at super-middle right now.

    Can't wait to see him fight Stevenson. That should be an outstanding fight!
