Broner just does stupid stuff. Credit to Taylor, he seems like a really good guy and he is what young fighters should strive to be emulate. Good guy. Broner is the teenager with a Ferrari. He's an idiot. He does that stupid thing with his right hand where he punches at the target rather than through it and to emphasize it he pulls his hand way up and loops it back to the shoulder. "Following the jab" is a common tactical decision people make when they know a guy is just pushing a jab as fodder. I can not wait til someone "follows the right" of Broner. It's going to happen and he's going to pay for it. Hopefully he gets sparked. Roy did the same thing but he did it late in fights and not habitually, he did it to fuck with guys. Broner does it because he has probably done it so many times in the gym to look cool that it is now imprinted. This is a nitpicky post. I understand that. Matthysse didn't look impressive to me. He still has the power to make Broner pay for his stupid little antics. Imagine if it was Matthysse who connected on the "counter hump" right hand like Taylor did? What if he turned on it? It would be Campbell-Peden-esque except that he would have been disqualified. Still, the laughs would have been great. Seriously, that is an actual possibility. Matthysse hits harder than Maidana. Wish he would have got pushed more tonight and I almost wish the opponents would have been reversed to better build up the bout. Still, Matthysse gets the benefit of the doubt. Would like to see him turn over more on his punches though, he was reaching a lot tonight and left a lot of his punches flat. Oh well, I'm on board with Matthysse-Broner. Danny Garcia will beat them both too.

a) Berto looked pretty poor, but showed flashes of good stuff.
b) The Mattysse stoppage was utter garbage.
c) Broner looked the same as always, opponents have him worked out now. He steps up and he loses.

I do not get it: Broner won or not?

I think Broner won by a few points, but he looked sloppy, lazy, and easy to hit. Broner is a bit predictable and so even fighters who might seem a level below see the blueprint and follow it with a fair level of success. Taylor lost the fight, but being such an underdog he won the event.
