Broner can only let his hands go when his opponent lets him. He sure was gunshy in the Maidana fight.
I disagree. I think he's capable of leading. He had so many opportunities against Porter and wouldn't let them go even when Porter wasn't doing anything. The kid fights like he's 35 at times when he has the hand speed and pop to get respect early. I can't stand watching his corner communicate with him in between rounds. Never really gets told to step the F up and let the hands go or anything.
Exactly. Broner is a good fighter with a pretty good career, just didn't live up to the early hype. And even through he acts like a total fool, he takes on tough fights, which is refreshing in an era of ducking and safe fights.
Broner is Broner, he is B- level and he will always beat guys lower level, but when he faces B or B+ he simply doesnt have that something to win, he has no footwork no work rate and very overrated defense and ring IQ. Crawford beat him 100%. I would havily favor Garcia and Postol is 60/40, Lucas stops him dont get crazy because he lost he still destroys Broner.
Broner needs to up his offense and stop waiting on the other guy. He tries to plat the counter puncher to much.
Trying to address the comments I've seen. IMO: Crawford- Beats Postol in a FOY type of match decides not to fight Garcia Postol- Handily beats Garcia landing 200 more punches and cutting him to shreds, then loses decision Garcia- Beats but does not KO Broner on clear UD, avoids Postol re-match Broner- Lets hands go and beats Matthysse straight up Matthysse- Quits after loss to Broner Spence- 2 years down the road stops Garcia and knows not to fight Crawford
