    Don't know why he mentions Abril.

    Does he really want to showcase Broner against Abril? Hard for anyone to look good against Abril.

    why not let him fight Abril? let him face as many styles as possible while he's young, will stand him in good stead.

    Abril is pure poison for anyone. dude is incredibly skilled. I said the other day Abril or Vasquez are terrible match ups for anyone at 135.

    He KO's Burns within 9. Burns is a tough dude, with some skill and can move, but he doesn't have anything that would back Broner up.

    Broner took a huge step in the DeMarco fight. His confidence in his abilities are at an all time high and no one has the ability to match his skill set at 135. Burns doesn't hit hard enough to stop Broner and he is not going to outbox him or is strong enough to push him back like some fighters at 140 would be able to do.

    Burns has never seen anyone close to Broner. Katsidis and Mitchell were nice wins, but they are not close to Broner.

    It's not too big a step to say that Burns is better than DeMarco.

    It's about time Broner stepped up and faced the real 135lb champ. No more of these tomato cans and paper champions for the Mayweather clone. Good on GBP!
