Adrien Broner Can Someone Tell Me About This Guy ?
I haven't been following the current boxing news for quite sometime, but i was on boxrec and see he was rated number 1 in Super Featherweight division. So i decided to watch a quick fight of his and he seems to fight a little bit like Floyd Mayweather Jr, so whats the story with this guy ? and can he go far ?
Re: Adrien Broner Can Someone Tell Me About This Guy ?
He sucks.... He does his best to pretend he is Floyd in the ring... Ponce beat him and they robbed Ponce cause Broner gave a better acting performance and they are trying to groom him... Crap! Soon as he fights someone real or worth 2 cents his time is done. They will protect him. He's pathetic... He probably sits at home and jerks off to Floyd tapes

I went on little vacation like 2 weeks ago, really enjoyed myself i tried my hand at tennis and golf, i wasn't overly successful at tennis LOL although i could whack it over the net half decent i guess. And as for the golf my mate hit it so hard it went like 100 yards away from the hole. And ended it up in the tree's and no sod could find the ball.
And just been doing my training mostly BIG H, and to be honest the current boxing hasn't really interested me.
I've been treating myself to some late 80's Welterweight fights, been really enjoying watching them it just seems to me boxing has been very slow this year.

That period of WW was awesome. I still feel Honeyghan could've whooped Breland and Starling in his pomp (but maybe that's my patriotism :-\)

I don't know about Marlon Starling, i just feel Lloyd Honeyghan's wide punching. Would never really be that succesful against Marlon Starling's straighter punching and tight defense. I think that was just a bad style match up for Lloyd Honeyghan.
As for Mark Breland i think he was too fragile, and i think a prime Lloyd Honeyghan finds that chin eventually and stops him round about the 9th round. I think Mark Breland needed a good meal inside of him, there's no way he should of stayed at Welterweight he needed to bulk up i think his legs and overall physical strength was far too fragile.

Nah. By the way you know Curry destroys Honeyghan if he wasn't weight drained, right?

The judges ROBBED Ponce like they robbed Lara against Paul Williams
Not Shitting on Ponce... he beat Broner

Yes he fucking did. Thank you. Ponce De Leon clearly won that fight and got robbed then that little piece of shit Broner did a lil thug victory dance like the cocky shit that he is, when he knew he LOST that fucking fight.
Fuck Broner, he got a big KO win over Litzau and thats it. He's gonna get his.
Re: Adrien Broner Can Someone Tell Me About This Guy ?
The irrational hate he seems to inspire is probably going to make me like him more and more.
He's just a young kid and already has wins over Ponce and destroyed Jason Litzau. That's a decent resume. He's improving, and whether you think he lost the Ponce fight or not it doesn't really matter. He's going to get better and when he does he will probably be a force in his division.
Bit silly to write him off as a nobody, the same way people wrote off Amir, or Carl Froch and said they would fail as soon as they stepped up.

You enjoy playing devils advocate your sick sick little hobbit ;D
Broner isn't half as good as he thinks he is, otherwise he wouldn't have needed a gift decision over a guy a weight class below him in Ponce De Leon.
Re: Adrien Broner Can Someone Tell Me About This Guy ?
He destroyed Litzau! I thought he won the De Leon fight too, but he did stink out the joint! He's one to watch imo ICB, there was talk of him meeting Burns

I just watched his fight vs De Leon, and i know what people are saying now about the Floyd Mayweather Jr comparison. He does seem to try and copy his moves though he doesn't do them as good obviously.
He's still pretty skillful and i don't think he'll have alot of trouble against Ricky Burns, who is a very average world champion at best.
