DeMarco vs. Broner - Saturday night chat/fight thread

[IamInuit]

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.

Gosh Inuit, go figure, why would you think I don't like Broner bro.
I know you're a big fan of Broner, but from my perspective, beating a bunch of taxi drivers/tomato-cans, then winning the vacant WBO super featherweight title and defending it twice against more mediocre opponents doesn't really prove much. DeMarco is Broner's first real test, if he looks good, then you Broner's boners might have something to start shouting about. Keep in mind, even if he gets by DeMarco, it remains to be seen how well he will do at the next level.

So just raise the bar on a con current level. You cannot on the one hand my friend pick him to lose to Demarco and then claim if he wins it's no big deal. Thats pretzel logic. Not sure why you concentrate so much on the resume and not what you see? Robinson has a worse resume in his first 25 fights.
