    No! It just was so predictable. And so obvious even for some LDBC members. For example, look how that 78 guy predicted this fight to unfold (timestamped):

    I don't get where this is coming from. Broner simply isn't a force above 140, and even at 140 he's merely top10.
    The only 2 wins above 140 are an SD over past it Malignaggi and another SD over Granados. Not something to write home about, when you're supposed to be A-level according to some.

    Even 40 year old Pac is just a level above.

    No Broner didn't take a dive but he is becoming a grade B fighter now.

    If you listen to the last round Broner asked his trainer if he won at least one round where the trainer nods as if that was an accomplishment after he reassures Broner that he's won a round . It's plausible by such ho hum goings on in the corner and over enjoyment after the fight.

    if it wasn't a dive surely Broner wasn't really there to try. Lol

    No, Hunter was trying to get it through Broner`s head that he had to win the last round and all Broner could do was say I won the round as if he didn`t need to change what he was doing and Hunter said yes you won the round but you have to win this goddam round, he was furious with him.

    I'm more interested in the Liquor store cola he's talking about ? What's that about , is he saying alcoholic cola? Or just a random cheap brand ? If someone sent me to go get a Coke i d bring them a RC cola to throw a wrench in their day personally !

    The power was the difference, he had no answer to being hurt by Manny and was just pot shotting, there was nothing on his shots.

    This would be true except Broner asking I won at least one round and him getting patted on the back with his trainer saying your doing fine didn't reflect that.

    Broner should have been jailed a long time ago for taking money under false pretences.

    You'd have to be a damn fool to get Broner to rig a fight for you.

    Broner didn't shoot a single right hand what business do you have to be in a boxing ring? I think Floyd played him as a pawn. Trash...

    Um, what? It looked nothing like the Mikey Garcia fight. Broner never ran from Mikey. He fought Mikey with a high guard and even started walking Mikey down in the late rounds... Had he fought Pacquiao in the same manner, he would have gotten KO'd. Guaranteed!
