David Avanesyan vs. Lamont Peterson & Adrien Broner vs. Adrian Granados RBR

Lot of close rounds, tough to differentiate a clear victor in many of them.

Watched start to finish, didn't keep track of my score every round but I think 96-94 Broner or 95-95 even is what I would've had. Shoot, maybe I'd have gone 10-10 in one of them and had it 96-95 either way.

If Broner isn't going to fight a legit opponent/champion up next, I'd like a rematch.

Going into the card, I thought Broner and Lamont were clear favorites and going into it, I felt I'd like to see Lamont vs. Garcia/Thurman winner and Broner vs. Garcia/Thurman loser. Still feel good about that. Hope it happens.

 

Mauro Ranallo was like, "BACK BODY DROP BY PETERSON! That will jack the back and reailign the spine of Avenesyan!"

 

Imagine if the ropes were that slack for a James Degale fight? Giving his tendency to lie back on the ropes, he would probably fall out of the ring and land on his head, ala Nard Hops.

 

If Broner's really serious about taking his career seriously, he needs to get himself back down to 140, pronto. That way, Bud and Mikey can give him a good working over.

 

broner holding pushing off , face lacing with gloves, forearm to face, and ref never said a word . still a good close fight. I had granados but oh well its boxing politics.

peterson and broner wont do well against big welterweights.

 

Lol.

Fvcking horrendous.

It's like they guy who made them just ran out of material and thought "ahhh fvck it that'll do hopefully Peterson will have shrunk before he tries them on".

 

I had Browne by TKO, but I could see it happen.
Of course Williams wasn't all that, but Browne really got exposed in his last fight, and only kept his undefeated status due to the usual US home cooking. Damn, if that sh_t had happened in Germany and Browne as the German fighter the forum here had blown up.
That said, Kalajdzic clearly is a level above Williams of course.

 

That's why I went with Browne, also because he survived against Kalajdzic while Williams didn't in his losing effords.
But don't forget that Williams had been in with better competition as Browne had thus far (maybe not if Kalajdzic turns out to be the real deal).

 

It was sort of an emotional pick I think. Williams gained the favour of hardcores with his showings against E-Rod and the Pimp and people were really down on Browne with his ugly performance against Hot Rod, which didn't look all that bad after Radivoje's dismantling of Peterkin.

 

Williams wasn't a true southpaw. That's why he looked so terrible against a true southpaw. He's a bum now. I'd pick Browne to ko Beterbiev and I like Beterbiev. He wants Stevenson and that would be a tough tough fight. Browne needs one more top contender and he will be ready for a title shot. If he gets Stevenson I'm not mad at him. I'd take that fight...
