Is not that Broner is not disciplined, Broner is a coward, relative to boxing standards

I disagree.

Despite Broner having natural talent, he is very technically flawed. He however has the heart of a lion. He proved it against Maidana, and he proved it against Porter.

His low work ratio, and his cement feet are his undoing. When you fight in the lower weights you need to throw punches otherwise you can be easily outworked like was the case against Ponce De Leon.

 

There is a video of Broner a little after the Garcia fight, and Boner was acting like himself. But the moment his losses were brought up, he completely changed. You could see that depression hit him.

 

Broners main problem is he has an absolutely despicable excuse for a mandible.

 

I've never thought AB had the skills to be a top fighter. He is a gifted fighter, but he is too technically flawed to be at the top. Part of him freezing is his inability to know how avoid punches. He relies too much, almost exclusively on his athleticism, and his boxing IQ is very low.

 

Like Joe Louis and Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get hit. It doesn’t take too much for Broner to go into a defensive shell when he gets hit. It’s common in boxing, fighters going into a defensive shell when they're hit too hard or often. Judah, Mosley, Camacho, and Tua are examples. Actually, almost every fighter does this to some extent.

For a world class fighter, Broner is easy to get to shell up and go into survival mode.

 

It's why Maidana was such a G. The harder or more often he got hit the more intensely he poured on the pressure in response.

 

The problem with Broner is that once he realizes he's in there with a boxer that will make him work really hard for the win he decided to just pack it in and just wait for the paycheck.

 

Less to do with cowardice and more to do with inability to adapt. Not knowing what to do. He's faced adversity and came back. Don't let his persona cloud your judgement.

 

Say what you want about Broner but he is no coward. He never lived up to his potential but he never ducked anybody.

 

Hood rat mentality

 

"I ain't losing to no Jessie Vargas. Y'all got me ****ed up"

 

Oh he’ll face anyone but against better opponents he does go in there with a view to not getting knocked out which is why he could never hope to win unless he overcame this habit.

 

He fights the same way he always has and that has been his undoing. He hasn't improved.
