Broner will never punch hard enough at 147

[Dia bando]

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.

Its his delivery and not a case of 'learning from mistakes' but them being a part of his approach all this time and getting away with them. You fix those and make adjustments in your early learning fights in an ideal scenario...a PDL fight, the Escobedo fiasco and what it nearly and should have cost him...Maligianni living with him inside and putting a light on his holes...instead he changed nothing and said he meant to get hit cause it didn't hurt or some dumb shate...now he is already on the premier stage and they still exist at a massive price. No way can I see him getting a "do over" in weight class or a step back in level of opposition with high visibility. He will and must now learn on the job and play catch up..cram session...or he'll be a trivia question very shortly. We've seen this play out before.

Good post. Its a problem with his head most definitely and a real false sense of security. Hell as a fan I was blinded by his style. He's another one of these guys who's fine it seems when things are going his way or the punches dont sting. As far as Brocks thread title goes he punches hard enough.
