    How do you see this fight playing out? Interesting it hasn't been brought up much with them only one weight class apart.

    Broner seems to have more better movement(foot speed), better defense, better power and finishing skills. Still a little raw.

    Russell only has better hand speed. More poised too.

    My gut tells me Broner eventually turns out to be a little better.

    From what I've seen so far, Broner by late TKO, liekly the 10th or 11th.

    I don't like Russell's defense and I don't see enough power to keep Broener off of him.

    Broner really didn't impress too much against Ponce, and Litzau is about as awful as you can get, so I'm going to believe the speed of Russel can ruffle the polished space Broner seems to need to get going, he is a lethargic counterpuncher if you leave him to his own devices, Russell will probably go after him and make him uncomfortable with busyness and keep the fight at an uncomfortable distance.
