this is why i wanted to see him fight Abril so much, Abril would not come forward for **** yeah i can see they are Broner's weakpoints he can get out pointed but he has good power so hes taking guys out, thing is Malignaggi looked terrible in his last fight and got dropped, Broner hits harder than Cano and has good accuracy i can only see him stopping Malignaggi late Malignaggi could win rounds but it will be where Broner is just finding his range and looking for big shots
That's exactly how I feel. Broner's at his best letting off combinations with a fighter right in front of him. You and me both know he's a natural boxer-puncher. Paulie's size and mobility and jab will make it competitive, but Broner's power is a great equalizer. We'll see how it carries up to 147. This is a very interesting fight.
:good one reason I wanted him to stay and clean out 135 is so he could become unified champ, but the other was for him to develop more and be able to grow into 140 and then 147 more comfortably.
Malignaggi actually should be the favorite. He on paper could beat Broner. Broner basically has to knock him out to win and I don't know if Broner is up to it. It's not going to be a guaranteed victory for Broner and people who think it is are hyping the young kid up to be something hes not. He's not Mayweather.
How is Broner not the underdog? Compare resume to resume and record to record and he should be the underdog but I guess because he's backed by Team Mayweather now all of a sudden he's the favorite? He's good, but he's not the better boxer in this contest and in order to win he will have to brawl and win by impressive KO in the same way Cotto and others have. I think he can do it, but it's not an easy task for anyone to do. It's the toughest fight of his career.
thing is how terrible Malignaggi looked in his last fight, i had Cano winning by 1 point, plus he got knocked down his chin looks done, probably the worst time to fight Broner, this is definitely not the Malignaggi that fought Cotto
had paulie losing to cano by a couple of rounds. paulie does move around a lot specifically to his left (idk if he still could do that with his old legs), i wonder if broner can keep up with the movement.
Well, it's gambling, not a prediction league. You're getting odds. Recently, he had Cherry and Thompson, which gives him room to miss on a few others. Especially if you got Thompson at 12.5 to 1. Maybe that's just his strong suit: identifying dogs with value. Did you guys bashing him even check the odds on this fight? What do you think they should be? I don't actually track his results or blindly tail him or anything, but he's clearly worth listening to. Even if you go against him, he usually makes a point or two worth considering. He's the one who opened my mind to betting on Thompson, which worked out pretty, pretty well.
Solid post, feel much the same about this fight. One way or another we're gonna find out a lot about where Broner's at. I don't understand guys who say Paulie has no chance. I guess it's based on Broner's power. He hits hard for a lightweight, but who's to say how going up 2 weightclasses will affect that.
