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

[Ron Swanson]

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.

[Freedom]

Broner is the much bigger man, and he's very strong and durable.

Garcia may be the better boxer, but I think there's a very good chance of Broner winning tonight.

[Spicoli]

Having last minute second guessing. I may very well have over rated Garcia in his rapid weight jump not to mention long layoff and underrated Broner on the basis of being Broner. That's an easy thing to do . Still leaning Garcia ever so slightly but he needs to stay very disciplined and not sit inside.

i bet a few quid of the draw, i think it was around 20/1, although i think broner is being set up to be a gatekeeper now so the judges will side with garcia but broner is a talented fellow and is good at some things so it is worth a small bet i think.

The closer this gets, the more excited I am for this. Broner is bigger and is naturally talented. Garcia is just very good fundamentally. I'm still going with Garcia for sure, but I am just really interested to see how this fight turns out. If Garcia can win this fight easily, then that proves that he is a very legit fighter. Broner is no pushover though so I don't see him laying down for Garcia.

I'm just really interested in Garcias gameplan. Broner does what he does. His game plan won't change. Garcia has to have something good planned in order to make the statement he wants to. Many kudos to him though for taking a dangerous fight like this instead of staying at 135 and fighting a bum.

[Primo Carnera]

If the Broner that used to make 135 was fighting Garcia tonight , who would we go for? Who would be favourite?
This is one of those fights that is so intriguing, yet when it's all over , we'll all say, "Yeah, we shoulda known really." Or "Yeah, he's a 4 weight World Champ for a reason."
The smart money, (based on Broner's unreliability) is on a Garcia points win , probably UD, But you never know.

Broner made 138.something. How about that. He's actually trained for this one. And Garcia has the flu. I'm still expecting Garcia to put a show on but I'm not so confident now.

Agree there. While a guy shouldn't get extra credit for making the weight, he has a more serious feel! Wonder if Showtime will touch on rumored illness

I was wrong, checked the knee
