Just watched Broner against Rodriguez on Boxnation. Broner looks pretty good, very fast hands and puts his shots together well. He's still young and obviously just getting started and this showed. It was the first time I have seen him fight and he wasn't particularly tested, will be keeping an eye on him.
What's everyone else's opinions?
IMO as of right now he's a bit overrated, he has skills, speed, and power, but he's nowhere near as versatile as he's being made out to be, his stamina is iffy as shown against De Leon, and he's an annoying cocky little shit who I'd love to see get his ass kicked then have that damn hairbrush shoved up his assQuote:

Seem's to have a lot of talent, but when he get's hit on that chin will he fall to bit's like a cheap suit.!Quote:

I expect he will grow into a world championship calibre fighter over the next couple years. I don't just mean the odd paper belt, I mean picking up a couple, maybe in a couple weight classes.
He will go as far as the likes of Bradley and Khan have gone I think and win a couple titles at least.
I don't go much on the De Leon fight being close, first Ponce is a world class fighter, and second Broner is still very young. He'll get better and he'll be tough to beat.
He has talent and will become world champion but he's not as good as I first thought he was and is being made out to be.
Ditto.Quote:

I think Broner is vastly overhyped by the HBO machine, that last little fella he beat was harmless and about like swatting a fly. No pop.
Broner isn't as talented as Devon Alexander in my opinion. And Devon isn't exactly a superstar. He's just a very good fighter.
So far Broner caught Jason Litzau cold and got a flashy KO. Thats all he's done.
Sounds like good analysis' guys, i'll have to see more of his fights. Rodriguez didn't show us much. Mixed views on him so far.Quote:

The way he acts sometimes before his fights and after reminds me of a mini mayweather
Thats what i was thinking watching him earlier, the way he was posing in front of the cameras, making sure his hair looks good and just generally admiring himself.Quote:

He seems to sometimes maybe try and imitate Mayweather while fighting alsoQuote:

I couldn't have said it better, I can't wait until someone knocks this muther-fucker unconscious.Quote:

Im not sold.. Pretty much agree with my boy Terrible..
Dont get me wrong, he has skills with a style that's flashy but i smell a homeless man's version of Floyd.. a tool and a fraud. Time will tell but naw, I dont think he has it..
As a fighter, I put more stock into Eloy Perez.. His style has substance.
I had Broner winning the DeLeon fight, but it wasn't pretty. He seems to have lapses, but he is definitely talented. He does mimic Mayweather's style.Quote:

I seen him on boxnation a while back, he does look good very fast hands but he was a total dick after the fight. What was all that about wanting his dad to brush his hair before he talked to the cameras
That's the best way of describing him.Quote:

Heard so much about this Broner guy. Finally decided to check out what he's all about. Fair enough trying to copy Floyds style, if you're gonna do it then copy the best..but he seems to have adopted Floyds more recent style. One shot at a time pot shots. (except when he has someone hurt).
Floyd kinda evolved his style over time..and I hope Broner can find a style he's comfortable with instead of doing whatever Floyd does.
The fact many of you want to see him get KTFO shows me that he understands the business side of things and will probably be on his way to becoming a huge star if he can keep up the performances to match his swagger.
Having said that..the hair brush thing is pretty damn stupid and it seems like he doesn't even believe in it when he does it. He doesn't seem to have the confidence that Floyd has. Also he even copies Floyds post fight interview style too..it's a bit much. Like I said, he needs to be more comfortable with himself in and out of the ring..find his identity. But hey, he's undefeated so far so who am I to say? We'll see how it pans out..his future looks bright though, people are talking about him.
That's my observation, whatever it's worth ;)
Too early to really say much, but there is no one in his current division that i'd say could beat him. He is going to make an ugly example of eloy, and i like eloy. Outside of all the hair brushing and talk he's pretty decent for how many fights he has.
