    Also AB has flat feet stone footed cant move on his toes and has trouble making weight so his conditioning will allays be suspect he eats to much same problem James Tony had in his career lost allot of fights cause-of it

    I think AB will have his moments and he should be in tip top shape. Mikey is your classical boxer type, a very good one, and AB is your opposite, very unorthodox and has some physical advantages, AB SHOULD have the edge. But Mikey is no joke, one mistake from Broner and Mikey will make him pay. I do think AB is tougher than Mikey tho. Mikey didn't win me over with the ending of the Salido match, despite Mikey dominating. Mikey should win on points, I wouldn't be surprised if he steamrolled Broner, but Mikey has been dropped before and can't get overconfident with AB.

    Also AB has been having trouble beating his last opponents that should not be on his level , he is way better then them but he has bad habits and fell in love with one type of fighting style not like when he was younger and used defense and out-boxed his opponents and made weight .

    Broner has always been overrated grotesque little spastic with a repulsive fanbase. However, at least he's been facing actual 140-147 pounders, whereas with the exception of Zlaticanin who IIRC didn't land anything significant on him and Elio Rojas who was a blown up feather/super feather who had only fought above 130 twice himself, Garcia has been feasting on feathers and super-featherweights.

    I think Garcia is the better fighter but I feel his chin is untested at 140 and you can make a solid argument that it's also untested at 135, if I'm remembering correctly about Zlaticanin not catching him with anything significant in their fight that is which I admit I could be wrong about.

    Garcia was a huge 126 and 130 pounder, but look what happened when Broner moved up in weight and started facing opponents his own size or bigger he didn't look anywhere near as destructive as he did when he was beating up on undersized leprechauns and munchkins.

    Garcia's an excellent fighter but he's moving up in weight to face an opponent who is bigger than him, has fast hands, and can punch a bit. So I don't see it as a foregone conclusion in his favour at all. If I knew his chin was solid at this weight it would be different.

    And let's not forget that Broner has had a number of controversial decisions go his way before that many feel he lost. If it wasn't for home advantage and corruption he would have more Ls on his record. Who's to say Garcia gets the decision even if he does beat him? And Broner is a very dirty fighter as well so you have to factor that in too.

    If Broner actually comes to box in serious mode then we might have a close, competitive fight although Garcia should edge it. If not I see Garcia stopping Broner.
    Would like to see Broner pulling it off though, after seeing some unexpected results lately.

    I always find line movement in boxing interesting, especially in cases where it's dramatic.

    But, sometimes it doesn't mean anything and the initial underdog loses all the same. It's as much about the publics perception as anything, that's all a gambling line is.

    Broner hands down 100% winning this fight. Anyone talking otherwise better come back here after the fight and eat there words.

    19 votes for Broner and not one of them has showed up to give Mikey his props. Even Broner(reluctantly) gave props.
