Thread: Broner vs. Abril in the works for 16th Feb on HBO

Broner vs. Abril in Talks For February 16th on HBO - Boxing News

What do think? People seem excited to see him fight Ricky Burns but I think Broner would give Burns a pretty one sided beating. Abril give Rios a tough test so it could be a good fight.

Broner is looking like a monster, tough to go against him. Good to see he is not just taking on light work, as annoying Broner can be at least he is taking on quality opponents at least recently.

I can't see Warren sending Burns to America to get beaten up by Broner. It's not like he has an endless list of world champs to promote.

I don't think Abril is as good as De Marco. Hopefully it's leading up to Broner Gamboa.

Abril is a totally different fighter than Demarco. Abril is a boxer , while Demarco is a slugger. Abril would box Demarco's head off. Still don't think he can beat Broner. If Broner wins, is he #1 P4P?

i thought Abril was fighting Rees?

I actually like this fight, Abril did spank Rios after all. Also judging by the way the ring rankings are going I wouldn't be surprised if Broner beats him and be heralded as the new SRR.

Is Abril a difficult challenge for him? Is there any one out there who would be more dangerous?
