I see a lot of people rooting for Broner? Did he do something to gain your respect?

    Bloody hell thats not sparring,when have you ever seen Floyd do this,Abel won't let GGG throw many shots to the head.
    That was pretty disgusting actually and all those watching are as much to blame,still Broner like that is a handful but when does he bring the that on the night,all I ever see is lazy work rate and safety first

    That he's bigger and he's shown he can take a beating and simply because he's the underdog is why some are rooting for him, but I sure don't get it.

    From the latest training clips and comments from him I'm seeing now, no, I have no confidence in him. I don't care how physically fit he is, he's just not truly in it to win it. Clowning your sparring partner when you should be honing your technique is pathetic. Unlike Mikey who is focused and professional. Broner has speed and power, even defensive reflexes, to make it competitive early, but doesn't have the skill and ring smarts to be a serious threat here. He barely beat Adrian Granados for chrissakes.

    Boner gained respect when he went to jail, his fans love that. Mikey will knock that criminal out!

    You might pick somebody to win but not necessary rooting for that person though.
    Some has been turned off by mickey lately and there is shouldn't be an issue if more are rooting for Broner to bring him back to earth lol.
    I'll be excited if Garcia put out a virtuoso performance cause I see big talent, but I would be lying if I say I'm not happy to see Broner kick his butt.

    Broner generally starts all his fights slow. I think he gets schooled by Mikey. His lack of dedication would let him down again. I think he might quit at some point in the latter half of the fight.

    I assumed anyone would only root for Broner because he's the underdog and they want to see a good fight. I don't know what these trending forum posts and Youtube comments we're now seeing saying Mikey is arrogant are based on. That Showtime interview he did? An anti-Mikey Garcia campaign based on five minutes from him? Frankly I don't have the slightest problem with his attitude there and think anyone who sees character flaws in him is wrong and sad. He knows he's good and he's coolly confident, so what. Even if you don't like Garcia, Broner who isn't that great yet talks himself up and clowns his opponents sure isn't the guy to root for against him. Just weird.

    He can't bring that into an elite level fight because elite level fighters can slip the superman lunge punches all day.
    He's an absolute clown and is in for a shock if that's the type of level he's been sparring at.
    I'm hoping for a maidana style beating again

    A lot of people put on shows with their boxing persona but I genuinely feel Broner is just an abhorrent human being. A real piece of ****. Mikey might seem a little more up his own ass than he used to be, but I can live with that. I hope he absolutely pushes Broner's **** in
