I actually think the Magic man has a chance to pull this one off. And i think he is getting into Broners head and affecting his confidence in himself.
You can think whatever you want. Broner's confidence don't get shook by some trashtalk. Paulie can talk a good game but he's going to get his ass beat badly when Broner starts throwing them hands.
Well let me ask you this. Is adrien a better fighter than any of Malinaggi's opponents?? I don't think so. Now is malinaggi a a better fighter than all of borners previous opponents??
If Paulie is in top shape, he can outbox Broner. But I doubt he will, Paulie has been exposed many times and Adrien has the skills to hurt him big time.
Me too, I was pumped for the Trout-Canelo fight because it was a toss up. Now this one is a toss up as well.
Broner deserves a lot of props for this one. He is definitely moving up in more than one way...in class and weight. Paulie ain't a big puncher but he has other qualities that make him a nightmare for most fighters....he's fast, has good reflexes...defensively sound and slick. Broner is all those things but has POWER.....at the lower weights we know he has power....up one weight class power punchers can hit a wall....TWO weight classes, most fighters aren't the same puncher they were at the lower division they moved up from. Broner is ballsy to take a risk like this. I give him his dues. Glad he's stepping up where most of our boxers are taking easy fights.
Me too! I love what I see from him. At least in the ring.....His shtick outside the ring is cringe worthy. He needs a real friend....someone to tell him the truth about how ******ed he comes off when he's trying to be Floyd Jr.
I'm actually way more pumped for this fight than I should be. When it was first announced, I was really hating the match-up. We had light hitting Paulie fighting Broner. With all the trash talk, I'm actually behind Paulie now. We don't know if Broner's power will still be there at 147, so it makes the fight interesting. I hope we don't get another PDL/Broner robbery.
Cano beat Paulie. Had Hatton gotten past Senchenko, Paulie would be fighting Hatton, and Broner would be fighting Molina or another no hoper. Broner jumped skipped LWW to avoid death at the hands of Matthysee, Garcia, and Peterson. Marquez would murder him as well. So he skips it, jumps up to WW where he knows he can avoid Floyd and Pac while taking soft punchers like Glass Hands Malinaggi and soft punching brawlers like Alexander and Bradley. He'll mop those 3 and call himself the greatest. Well, maybe he'll eventually fight a punch drunk Pac or fight to a draw against Mayflower in a staged fight.:---(
Being Mexican of Italian descendency i am rooting 100% for paulie. I hope he humbles broner and gives him an attitude adjustment. Forza malinaggi!!!!! But umfortunately i think adrien will win
This fight has stylistic and skill mismatch written all over it. Maybe as onesided as Whitaker/Haugen.
