DeMarco vs. Broner - Saturday night chat/fight thread

[TheMacMagician]

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.

@Mars_ex - do you know the odds on the Broner-Demarco fight?

No Sir, not the exact odds, but I heard Broner is a big favorite. I could be wrong, but I believe DeMarco is being underrated here, and i've yet to see how Broner does against a live dog who has decent power.

A quick question for those who believe DeMarco is a live underdog or perhaps a clear winner, do you base this assumption based on the Ponce De Leon fight "win" by Broner or the Linares victory by DeMarco?

A little of both, but besides Ponce what 'top' fighter has Broner faced or beaten? Broner may be really good, the thing is he hasn't proved it yet. If he blitzes though DeMarco, his fans can start saying he's all that, right now he's just a great prospect. Keep in mind, Broner's only claim to fame is winning the vacant WBO super featherweight title and defending it twice against mediocre opponents. Let's keep it fucking real.

Its quite clear that you do not like the man but I'd like to know how his fans are not being real? People make far to big a deal out of the Ponce fight. That happens and it was Broners 20th fight. Much to do about nothing. Anyone who has watched the sport in any kind of a serious way can see that this kid has enormous talent. He's only 23 and only has 24 fights. Floyd fought a battle warn Hernandez (rip) in his 18th fight followed by a weird stop against Manfredy and then a selection of worn out vets and then fighting Augustus in his 24th fight. All along being touted as special. Very similar competition background. Alvarez is drawing in on 50 fights and you barely hear a peep about his lack of comp. Yet he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Broner could be the next Floyd or maybe the next Ibeabuchi but I think he is going to frustrate the hell out of DeMarco and stop him.

For me its as simple as the later mostly, meaning what DeMarco has proven what he is capable of rather than what Broner has shown he is not. That fight with Linares was no 'fluke'. People have rose colored glasses on for a guy who has been over 8 rounds once...once! I know DeMarco has run much deeper in career and I think he is being written off as some run of the mill also ran. He is as methodical and thinking a fighter as they come. He is a quality fighter that has made solid improvement. He doesn't flatten guys, he cuts them up and beats them up, and he has been there and done that!

That fight with Linares was no 'fluke'. And I suppose Vaiero was? Talk about there to be hit. Valero could not box his way out of a wet paper bag.

So? Tyson never went past 5 or 6 in his first 20? Not sure what this rose coloured thing is all about.

I have not done that.

He is as methodical and thinking a fighter as they come.

So is Broner. His extraordinary defense combined with jaw shattering counter punching will end this fight.

He is a quality fighter that has made solid improvement. He doesn't flatten guys, he cuts them up and beats them up, and he has been there and done that!

Both are quality fighters.

Peace amigo and we shall see. I may be served a healthy serving of crow. Ravens this far north and about 10 times the size of a crow. Lay it on my friend should my prediction take a turn for the worse.

Linares was suppose to be the next big thing, and in the early rounds against DeMarco he looked good, but then DeMarco sucked it up and pretty much beat Linares to a pulp. Just saying, DeMarco is no chump, Broner is going to have to put up or shut up.

Canelo gets a lot of backlash for his opposition thus far. A lot of people think he's overrated b/c of it.

For the record, Broner will dominate Demarco. Early-mid round stoppage.

Current Odds are Broner -500.

It least Alvarez has been a champion for a while, and fought some upper level competition.

As for Broner dominating and knocking DeMarco out, I don't think so, but we shall see grasshopper.
