Broner will never punch hard enough at 147

[brocktonblockbust]

or throw enough leather. And him getting hit with that wild overhand right all night long was amateurish of him. An easy shoulder roll would have solved that. Maidana landed 200 more punches than Broner, threw about 350 more than Broner. Broner's punches had no effect on Maidana except for maybe 1.

He should go down to 140. Or quit. Perosnally I think he will bitch out, never be the same.

Broner was more impressive at the lower weights he should try and go down if he can, otherwise he needs to be far more active at welterweight in terms of throwing punches and moving his big fat arse.

I will agree with you he could punch at light weight, but at Welter I don't think so Broner could
have dominated at light weight, but when your full of yourself as he is, people just loved it when
he lost. I don't think Broner puts fear into opponents, after his defeat more so at welter, a drop
down in weight maybe. If not he's going to get sparked, there are bigger punchers out there than
Midana, at welter.

His problem isn't punch power, it's punch delivery. He is arrogant and it manifested itself in laziness. He got fat and he didn't iron out technical difficulties. When he fought up the middle he did well. But he's stupid. If he knuckles down and works on his his craft he will have a better delivery systems and because his power then gets there people will think it arrived when it was always there. It doesn't matter if you hit like Gerald McClellan if you don't deliver the punches

The analogy is the a young actor wanting to be Robert De Niro, but not learning the fundamentals of acting and practising the range of his skills to become a better actor. So when he gets the big audition he blows it.

I'll say it again....."hubris" is his problem. I hope that changes to was. Nothing like a dose of reality.

His biggest problem, especially at welter, is trying to stand in the pocket and make his opponents miss.
He needs to go back down in weight got a while, move more and throw more punches, in my opinion.

I agree in theory but in practice I just don't think he has good footwork in him. I think he needs to get that left shoulder up a bit. Work on upper body movement, he's always seemed stiff. And have his trainer work over and over and over again on reflexive punch selection. He throws the wrong punches. You can get away with that when you physically overwhelm opponents but when things are more equal physically the guy that does the right things at the right times wins.

Broner is accustomed to bullying and walking guys down at the lower weights where he had the size advantage.. if he is going to remain at 147, he's going to have to change his approach.. he has to box more and use his skills.. his power at 147 is a non factor.

[terrorsid]

Shit Broner better fight again!!! Maybe @140 but this guy had a ametuer career of 300 wins and 19th losses, so the way I see it is that he's taken more than a couple of losses. Broner cannot walk the street right now!!! All that shit he was talking I don't know what he should do next but quitting lol he better not he'll better a big flop like Prince Nazeem!!!

[erics44]

he pushed it too quickly i think

had a close shave against malinagi, should have taken an easier fight after that, warmed into the higher weights

[Ron Swanson]

All I know is all the people that say this kid is done this kid was exposed should take a bow. Every time HBO or Showtime lines up yet another complete mismatch take a bow. Every time we're stuck waiting for a guy to step up his competition take a bow. Every time the fans miss out on a good fight take a bow.

It's a 23 year old kid who lost a fight. Big whoop, learn from it and move on. Or don't and crash, whatever. But losing a fight is no big deal. Tie the boots a little tighter and work a little harder.
