Current Adrien Broner vs. Prime Juan Diaz @ lightweight.

Here you go bringing up PDL again.

Floyd does everything better than Broner but you understand my point. People throw less at Broner because he makes them pay for what they throw. Broner hits harder than Diaz and his body shots would do much more damage. Broner TKO 9 or 10 in an exciting fight to watch

 

I really liked juan. he was a busybody but had no power and his style was not built for longevity. broner would eat him up.

 

Now this really would be "Mayweather-Gatti" all over again.

 

If Diaz had just a little more pop in his gloves I could pick him, but I think Broner will land harder and better and probably edge it on the scorecards.

 

PDL hits hard enough to put Broner in a shell, he don't like them big punchers at all. If you can't hurt him, he'll stand right in front of you and counter you to death but if you CAN, he'll get on his bicycle and he's much less effective offensively. At least that's my take on him so far.

 

diaz would stay on the inside and eat vicious shots all night

 

Good post.

It's not a particularly ridiculous statement. For all he looked like a podgy kid, Diaz could close distance excellently and he did throw very fast combos (although they were pitter patter).

Seriously, I know the JMM and Broner are very different fighters, but when you strip them down you see that both guys rely a lot on counter punching. Marquez in my opinion is actually in the running for greatest counter puncher of all time. In the first few rounds he had all kinds of trouble with Diaz, because his constant punching gave little opportunity for countering. DeMarco fought like a complete ****** against Broner, throwing single shots against the guy is asking to be beat down, Diaz wouldn't do that.

The Broner fans seriously need to calm it. Yeah, I agree that the guy is looking like an elite fighter, but that doesn't mean that he walks through every single guy he faces. Look at fighters styles before making outlandish statements .

 

He's not a p4p harder puncher by a loooong stretch and maybe not a harder puncher period. PDL has some very serious power.

 

Why do people do that? Why? Why Why Why??? Why is it that when they see a fighter fight in a certain style versus a particular fighter....they assume that he will fight that same way versus every fighter. Have any of you HATERS even watch Adrien Broner fight besides the DeMarco fight? Versus Wilie Kicket, Broner stayed on the outside and outboxed him, versus Eloy Perez, Broner was the bigger, taller fighter and used his length and bombed him with jabs and straight right hands, versus Escobedo and Litzau, Broner let his go...then versus Demarco stayed inside and counterpunch the taller fighter on his way to a KO win. All this should tell you that Broner has VERSTILITY IN HIS GAME. Diaz DOES THE SAME SHITIN EVERY FIGHT!!!! So IYO...Broner would chose to stay on the inside and allow the smaller, shorter fighter in Diaz to just Bomb away while Broner throws one punch at a time...REALLY? That's what ya'll think?

You don't think that Broner would stay on the outside and box the ears off of Diaz. And in the even Broner would engage in an inside game...you believe that Diaz would be too much for him? Look, I get it. Ya'll don't like Broner...Fine. But there is no reason to be ridiculous.

Chill out dazza...when Broner steps up from the mediocre fighters he has been facing and can actually convincingly distinguish himself from smaller fighters like PDL then we can start recognizing his level of swag...Till then a proven fighter like Baby Bull gets picked over him.
I know that feel bro..I like him too actually...you just have to be patient.

 

Don't let Juan get cut, the man instantly loses all composure and boxing skills within seconds.

 

Calm down Black One Punch.

Just because a fighter is extremely versatile doesn't mean he will perform wonderfully against any style.
