The notion that Adrien Broner is easy to hit is a lie

    Broner's main problem is lack of fluidity or changing gears. When he is in defensive mode, he can be hit but it's not like he's getting lit up. He doesn't transition into offensive out of it enough and make you pay thou. I also wonder about his stamina, he would walk Paulie down and let Paulie get off while only throwing 1 or two punches way too often.

    Broner done nothing in the 1st 5 rounds and missed quite a few too

    He's a poor mans Mayweather

    Isn't this type of conversation completely irrelevant without comparing the statistics to other fighters in Broner's division?

    Broner is wide open to the body,he leave the whole left side of his body exposed when plodding forward,someone like Mathhysse would rip him apart to the body.Hes a great little fighter but has so many flaws.

    As soon as he fights someone that can bang and take a good shot wel know how good he is.

    "Elite defence"? Dear God!
    Anyone who cites computer stats as evidence of good skill has missed the point of the sport entirely.
    Since when has walking forward and taking punches on the arms, shoulder, and body been elite defence? Using your upper body as a punchbag is not defence and when he fights a guy with power he'll be found wanting. It takes years to master slips, rolls, parries and its a hard skill to master but the best can do it. People aren't just "hating" on Broner, they're highlighting his weakness.
    He, like you, probably won't listen and when he fights elite fighters his "elite" defence will be shown up. He was way too strong for Paulie but in many people's opinions was lucky to win mainly due to his "elite defence" and attitude, allowing a weak fisted Paulie to land repeatedly by about 6 shots to his one and circle away from him as he failed to laterally cut the ring off.
    He may hold his arms like Mayweather but that's where the similarity ends. :rasta

    Paulie hit him flush several times with his biggest shot which is the same thing as being tapped in the face with cotton.

    And BTW. We all know that those computer stats are spot on....Always!

    When I think elite defense I think PBF. I think Ali. I think SR Robinson. Broner is not elite. his defense looks cool, but he's not elite.

    Well covering up not throwing any punches trying to hide the china in your glass mandible is not easy to hit. Even Pacquiao struggled to hit Clottey and Donaire struggled to hit Navarez when they fight like Broner

    You define struggling to an SD when many though Paulie won as being 'toasted'? Take of your rose tinted spectacles for **** sake

    :lol::lol: Naw naw, Paulie fought the good fight but he was getting blasted. Every time Broner would buzz him Paulie would do a little shake and bake or lick out his tongue.:lol: Broner didn't read the antics and backed off thinking that Paulie was coming with something when instead he covering up a good shot. I know what I saw and I call it like I see it. The thing is, I like Paulie but that don't mean I'm gonna shade the fight in his favor and I wouldn't shade it for Broner either. You, on the other hand is operating from a total dislike bordering on hatred for Broner so everything that comes outta your mouth about the fight is tainted. Man up on that.:bbb

    Thing is it is not elite. and when he gets ktfo, and he will, it will be because his defense is not elite.
