    Last night he crushed another fighter in 1 round.In his previous match he overclassed Sean Monaghan.
    He looks ready for a title shot, but there is still some doubt about his abilities. He seems to have the power to push over an opponent in the early stages, but against Kalajdzic he was clearly beaten and was gifted a decision.

    What do you think, does he have what it takes to become a contender for a world title?

    Yeah i would say Browne is a talented fighter, i think a lot of people are too harsh in regards to the Kalajdzic fight.

    That is the type of guy that I am most afraid to watch vs the top dogs. You can't decide if he is legit or not till he faces someone from the top level.

    I'm not a fan of him, he's taken far too long to establish himself
    and I see no real championship level in him. I don't think he's
    overrated as no one really rates him. He's contender level but
    I don't think anything beyond that

    He's a contender already, but with the current crop I think it;s very unlikely for him to actually win a belt.

    And not overrated, because the vast majority doesn't rate him at all.

    He is tall, fast, athletic and powerful, but there is something missing, the guy just doesn't know how to fight. He kind of reminds me of Broner. Our amateur system is terrible, it takes guys 7-8 years to get all the bad habits out.

    I think he’s a contender in fact he will probably be fighting for a title within a year or two, but his level opponents are poor I would like to see him in with chilmeba or felix velera then we can at least see what he’s like with tricky styles and against experienced pro’s

    Top 10 type guy.

    Thinks he gets stopped against the elite(top 5) guys though

    He's obviously a bit self-conscious about them, and rightly so, because he had them hidden beneath his hood here. He ends up pulling his hood down because he starts getting paranoid about the interviewer picking up on him being self-conscious about them.
