DeMarco vs. Broner - Saturday night chat/fight thread

[Mars_ax]

I like Mitchell and Broner by KO. DeMarco will run into something and Banks doesn't have enough to keep Mitchell off of him.

I'm more exicited about the Viloria vs. Marquez unification title fight because on paper it's a closer fight than the ones mentioned above. I like Viloria by knockout, although I can see Marquez winning a decision too.

DeMarco is a tough kid, I believe he'll give Broner all he can handle, I see DeMarco either winning a close fight or getting screwed on the scorecards.

Cant see it. I think Demarco either gets stopped mid to late or his corner throws in the towel.

I don't see Broner winning this fight, unless DeMarco gets fucked on the scorecards. My reasoning is, DeMarco is bigger and has enough power to hurt Broner who's never really been tested. I also think Broner is overrated @135, and that DeMarco isn't being given enough credit for being a champion @that weight. I wouldn't be surprised to see Broner get KTFO in this one.

Demarco is not bigger amigo. Broners a welterweight. This aint going to the cards to be fucked. Broner is by far the bigger puncher with both hands and is much more technically savvy working behind the shoulder from an offensive line rather then a defensive one. Flat footed from a wide stance giving nothing for his opponent to hit. Fast as hell and a great counter puncher to boot. People make far to big a deal out of the Ponce fight imo.I think Demarco is taking a nap bro.

Also hoping Demarco shuts shit head up. He's def the underdog, but least has some punching power, which Broner has avoided facing anyone with any punching power in his last 3 fights or so.

Litzau was the last man with even a puncher's chance. The rest have been feather fisted little guys.

Yeah we all agree he's a dick. What does that have to do with his ability as a fighter?

Right, DeMarco has decent power, he's 3 inches taller and he's the best fighter Broner has faced so far.

How about..

Marquez/Viloria
Gonzalez Estrada

?

[Spicoli]

Firstly does D. Hopkins have incriminating photos of someones family that keeps getting him big card fight exposure Hopefully it'll be well tucked off air.

This is a solid few scraps here and looking forward to them all. Viloria and Marquez is a very solid potentially explosive fight! I can see Viloria needing to come off the deck but boxing it out for a 12 rnd call. Banks vs Mitchell is interesting for the sub plot of potential matches for Wlad and him now being head trainer. Mitchell has holes and Banks is a capable straight line hitter but Mitchell should take this via tko.

I predict Broner blows the weight and will in fact walk in a near welter...again. I also think DeMarco will win this one via a late tko and turn Broner into Hammerin Hank Lundy right before our very eyes .Hey, I don't dislike him because he's an asshole, but because I think hes taken shortcuts and hoodwinked his way to some thinking he has already 'arrived'. Fact is, he hasn't done shart. DeMarco is very underrated now and as a converted southpaw is a very cutting accurate puncher with solid poise and an outstanding finisher. This is a good fight between two very capable young talents, but I think Antonio will wake Broner up from his dream like a bucket of ice water.

[IamInuit]

He's not a converted southpaw because he fights southpaw. A converted southpaw fights right handed or orthodox.

Looks he's a tough guy with a good skill set but I really do think this is Broners coming out party. I hope he makes weight and would think he would. Last time was a matter of wanting to move up anyway. Straight left is an issue but so is Broners straight right. No way does Demarco match Broners speed.

That's another thing I can't stand about Broner, he makes up his own rules, pisses on the integrity of boxing, contracted weight limits, and it's a form of cheating, so yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if Broner comes in at welterweight. If he does and I were DeMarco, i'd tell him to go fuck himself.

TBH, i'm not as interested in these 2 fly fights as some of you seem to be, but just for farts 'n giggles i'll say Viloria by late round TKO, and Roman G. by UD.

How about..

Marquez/Viloria
Gonzalez Estrada

?

Gonzalez is a wonderful little fighter. Lookin forward to seeing him again. Can't see Estrada lasting long, or not when looking at his record. I remember the way he took out Omar Soto. Beautiful.

[Kirkland Laing]

I think Broner wins on points or gets a late stoppage. If he KOs De Marco it's going to look good on his resume seeing as the only guy who ever stopped De Marco is Valero. I think he'll make the weight too.

Mithcell/Viloria/Gonzalez.

Agreed. He's my favourite little guy by far. So accurate and his punch selection is unreal. I cant see Estrada lasting long either. He's been fighting at 112 and 115 and dropping to 108 compiles his problems.
