    Don't think there is a chance Broner fights Matthysse, they wouldn't put boxings next big superstar in with one of the p4p biggest punchers in boxing today while he's only 23 and still got his 0 with not a very great defense

    Good fight, was impressed with Rees. Shame about Broner hitting him on the break. I reckon Burns could do him though.

    I think Broner is pretty good to be honest

    His defense is nowhere near as developed as Floyd's but he has very quick hands and the punching power of a middleweight

    He has no neck and huge shoulders so its hard to catch him clean

    I don't see him losing until he moves up to 140 and even then I could only think of a few names.

    Not surprising really, he's probably closer to a natural middleweight than he is to a natural lightweight.

    It's fair to say he's improving though.

    I was impressed with Broner. Not just his fighting skills but also, the interview at the end where he actually came across as a nice guy. Shame he has to act like a ***** in order to appeal to the moronic Americans who like that sort of thing because he seemed like a respectable bloke.

    Honestly, if he dropped all the stupid pandering, lame jokes he gets told to say and the show-boating to try and appeal to stupid Americans and just acted like in that final interview, I could see myself supporting him.

    Any highlight videos around? My normal source hasn't recorded the fight, annoyingly.
