How many points should Broner have got deducted?
besides Muhammad Ali and flat Amir Klitschko I can rarely remember a boxer who used his arms like iron vice grips on an opponent hundreds of times in a fight the way Adrien Broner did against Shawn Porter. By the time Tony weeks deducted a point I would have already deducted 3 poinuts from Broner excessively and constantly rough housing pushing holding and refusing to let go when told to break by the referee.tly rough housing pushing holding and refusing to let go when told to break by the referee
with all due respect I felt that Adrien Broner look like an absolute clown in there he did not look serious and I suspect he seriously might have some type of mental deficiencies because he behaves as if he is fighting like Floyd Mayweather but he is not throwing any punches whatsoever and he is still acting the clown in there while getting beat and humiliated the whole time. The amount of fear that he shows on his face and the fearful way in which he often fights is another sign that this profession is not what he should be pursuing at this time. I think Adrien Broner would be a great basketball player and maybe even a great track star but boxing is simply not his strong suit. My personal opinion is that he should retire from the sport of boxing because not only is he a disgrace to the sport but he simply is not good enough to generate any more attention from any boxing fan with half a brain

If the ref was truly on his ass, he could have easily been DQed IMO. There was a lot of shameless hugging, vice grip on the arms, it really was a shit show.

I do not like the OP's racist characterizations.
With respect to the topic at hand, however, Weeks, who is usually a solid referee, did a horrible job that night. If he had taken a point after the first warning, the fight might have gone a different and better direction. Instead, Broner turned it into a poor fight to watch. We need to keep an eye on Weeks when he referees PBC events going forward to see if he favors the A-side. Is this the same fight where Adeliade Bird had it close too? Let's keep an eye on her as well.
Re: How many points should Broner have got deducted?
I had no problem with just the 1 point in all honesty. When I guy jumps in with the head as much as Porter does sometimes all you can do is hold. Broner holds more than most I agree, but Porter got away with stuff too. Weeks likely thought that the point deductions were pointless as Broner was losing pretty clearly anyway.

but if Broner was white, it would be no problem?

Yes, but two points would have been fair.
Broner was being a sore loser and really bending the rules with clinching, hot dogging, and hitting low.
I didn't get why porter was thanking Tony Weeks after the fight as I felt he had been very "forgiving" of Broner's nonsense.
agreed. broner is a little f*** face s*** clown chimpanzee
That is the second time you called him that. First a monkey then a chimp. The guy is an idiot but you are acting like a chump yourself by deploying such language.
Tough shit. Deal with it.

I do not like your simple-mindedness that you assume it is racist.

If the ref would have deducted the point when he should have, it may have forced Average Busta to stand up and counter aka fight thus resulting in being tko'd like we all very much wanted to see ;D We wuz robbed :furious2:

he is DAMN average of a Busta, aint he? I seen nothing there to make him look even very good, let alone just good. Iron vice grip shoulda lost 3 maybe 4 points. We wuz DANG robbed.
Re: How many points should Broner have got deducted?
This is a fight that needed good old Jack Reiss. He knows how to take control of a fight. I loved when he took 2 points away from Ward and Rodriguez for holding and not breaking when he told them to break, so one more point would be a DQ. The rest of the fight was much better after he did that.
I guarantee you Reiss would have deducted points from Broner very early and it would have been a much better fight, not the shit-show that transpired.
