Adrien Broner vs Mikey Garcia July 29 - Live & "FREEEEEEEEE!!!" on SKY SPORTS!!!

[powerpuncher]

I feel that generally when somebody drops more weight than they have to, it effects them adversely. It's like they do it to show they could easily make weight but in reality it was a bad idea.

Anyways, a focused broner is a good fighter, but I think very highly of Garcia. He is one of the best technically sound boxers in the world. I don't think that Garcia will let him fight his fight at all.

Oscar v Manny Pac was bad for the golden boy true so was Ali against Holmes but it could mean Broner is fit and motivated.

It's one thing doing the weight, and you might also feel you've done it properly. but we won't know till fight night if that's the case or not.
Garcia is an unbeaten fighter, it's a big thing . He doesn't know how to lose yet.
Like Broner or not, we can't deny that he a. Is game and tough and b. He doesn't shirk from a challenge.
All in all it could be a classic.

I'm shocked Broner actually made weight! Also noticed Warren v Arroyo on undercard which can be a nice scrap. Odd thing is how many 30 yr olds at bantamweight actually go down in weight after a big loss. Jarrell Miller comes in 298 . He and Gerald Washington will dwarf the ref but they better reinforce the ring.

Garcia by decision. Broner will have his moments, but Garcia has too good a skillset to let someone like Broner win the rounds. Broner might have a shot being the bigger man, but more likely than not puncher vs skillset sees the skillset coming out on top.

Saw a breakdown of this fight by someone knowledgeable(I forget who, perhaps Paulie) saying that being so sound fundamentally will hurt Garcia. That what Broner does is slick vs traditional boxing. That he disrupts normal patterns and takes advantage of the disruption. And that that is why Broner had struggled more with unconventional fighters.

I couldn't really understand the breakdown. I've never seen Broner as being particularly slick or disruptive. I've always thought Broner took advantage of being bigger and faster than most of his opponents. And when he met with equal firepower he struggled.

[Fenster]

Seeing Broner as the naturally bigger man is odd looking. Garcia has had ONE fight above 130, he looks small framed. Stylistically it won't be a great fight - Marquez-Norwood? Certain they'll be arguments unless one of them ends up flattened.

Broner's price has more than halved, I said it it was ridiculous weeks ago in this thread.
