    JuanMa Lopez KTFO him in the 1st round and Mares toyed with him until he stopped him?

    Broner is much stronger and has better defense than the eyebrow pluckin wideman Rican Juanma and much bigger and stronger than Mares.


    So how come Broner struggled against an only left hand wideman PDL? At least Mayweather struggled with an HOF Castillo and Mayweather had an injury. Castillo>PDL

    So how is Broner who is supposed to be the second coming of Mayweather and future top lb for lb struggled against a wildmen left straight happy Ponce De Leon?


    Explain Now!!

    Because broner is not as good as people think. His best win is demarco. That's not a p4p worthy win. Broner will lose in time, eventually he gotta fight someone decent

    That's not what I saw.

    Mares put on a hell of a performance, but not quite toying with him. I think he was more hurt by the left hand than he let on, a few times.

    It's called improvement,Broner is a completely different fighter these days with supreme confidence he would probably stop Ponce in a couple of rounds if they fought again.

    Broner was green and it was his first real step up in class. If Broner could somehow still fight at 130 without being drained he would stop PDL in a rematch. Broner is a much better fighter now than he was back then.
