All that tenderness ends once Broner enters the ring. Frankel climbs through the ropes. Stafford, who has known and trained Broner since he was 6, calls a start to the session.

Adrien Broner starts talking.

To Frankel, he says: "I think you'd be a better carpenter than a boxer because you're not a boxer. Consider being a carpenter." After Frankel misses a combination and Broner slips easily to the corner, Broner says, "Actually, I don't know if you could really be a carpenter, either. There's a lot of math involved."

Frankel gives a game effort, but he's no match for Broner's speed, power, and ring intelligence. Between the personal barbs, Broner yells out typical peacock talk a lot of "I'm the best who ever did this"; some "Nobody's ever going to beat me"; and the occasional "People don't even know how good I am." Around the eight-minute mark, Broner starts calling out Frankel's shots. "Left hook coming. Loop the right hand. There it is." Broner has that skill, unique in boxing, of reacting to an opponent's next punch before he even throws it. For 15 minutes, every advance by Frankel gets stopped dead in its tracks. Finally, Stafford calls time.
