Thread: will Broner win a belt at 140?

I think he can win a trinket and could put up a good fight against Danny Garica.

Broner likes to walk people down. If he fought that way against garcia, he would get timed and KTFO..

Nigga would get hit so hard hed be doing the twerk and shit.

Yes, he likes to walk people down. They obviously respect his power. He had Paulie on his heels for a good portion of the fight. By he doesn't throw punches half the time he has his opponents going back.He just kept walking Paulie down eating his jab. I must admit I'm not the most technically knowledgeable boxing fan but why the he'll does he do that. Doesn't he watch his fights ans see his missed opportunities

That's my issue as well. Not just lazy approaching but when he does throw it's often the wrong punch. That's actually what intrigues me. If he could do as well as he has doing the wrong things at the wrong times, how good could he be if he figured it out. There's the rub, can he...

What is that about. When he has his opponents backing up, which he is good at, it gives him an advantage and he doesn't take advantage of it or am I missing something. it's more difficult to punch going backwards so you would think he would take advantage of it. He does it so frequently I began to think it was part of his game plan but that doesn't make sense. Is it lack of confidence or does he feel it is domination enough to back them up. I would love to hear a knowledgeable explanation, I feel like I'm missing something

I think it is arrogance. Like he feels the guy poses no threat so he looks for that highlight punch rather than taking what's there. Donaire does the same thing. That's another great aspect of the jab that is slowly disappearing, creating openings while working rather than watching for openings. It's maddening.

I thought Broner looked dried out at the weigh in. I wonder if he quickly grew past making 140 comfortably.

Edit-not that he ever fought at 140 but when he moved from 135 you'd think he could have made 140 comfortably.

Talented, question is he now at his ceiling. Very low KO to muscle ratio like Bradley. We will still will not know even if he beats Molina because he is fighting the wrong Molina. Very little to gain vs this Molina and lots to lose.

I don't think his KO rate directly applies to his power. He doesn't break guys down so that lowers his rate. He looks for highlight shots. The question from my perspective is will he improve mentally. He's best at seeing something and taking it but can he learn the game to know what's coming before he sees it? Can he learn to make things happen? Or maybe I'm seeing what he does wrong.

Nice post !! I need to see a better opponent than tonights in order to assess Broner .
Its not the first time many believe he has lost to a slower immoble fighter. Many aside from me feel he lost to Ponce deLeon and the light hitting Malanaggi. I feel he just might be flat out over rated.
