    lame.

    his main goal should be trying to unify the 135 division, then moving up. this doesn't make any sense and makes him look like he's avoiding the stacked 140 lb division.

    Real talk.

    We'll wait to see what happens when those other guys get freed up but for now this is meh. I'm not worried about him at 140... Which is why this is dissapointing.

    The way people call this a bad fight shows how much they've already bought into Broner.

    Malignaggi has been in there with some of the best and he's never a pushover, going from fighting Gavin Rees at 135 to PM at 147 is a pretty big step up, good fight and would be a very solid win for Broner. Everyone at 140 is tied up right now so this is a more than decent option when you consider whats available

    It's a good step up. The only reason why I don't want to see it is because I like both fighters and would hate to see them fight each other.

    Litzau? WTF rats? I thought you knew this sport better than
    to make a statement like that. What belt did litzau hold that
    broner KO'd him for? The WBUNABFIBA 130 lb title? Are you on
    those bohemia's in the AM again? tsk tsk tsk

    My gut told me not to be completely sold on him.

    He should fight at the 140 division

    Exactly. Let him grab a quick belt and judge him on his moves after.

    Well if the guys at 140 are w/ GBP and broner is with GBP then what's the problem?
