1/19 SHO PPV [Holding] Potential Broner vs Pacquiao January Fight Thread

[patscorpio]

just got in from driving in this snow storm from the theater...i gotta make better decisions lol

anyways

broner is a gotdamn clown...i take pride im one of the FEW people on this site that didnt think Broner was anything special from jump going back to his 130 days. the problem with this shyt is broner physically doesnt learn a lesson so he pops off like that with no consequences...he's finished as a serious fighter

pacquiao is still a capable welter..the next move should be against keith thurman

marcus browne rose to the occasion but still showed some of the flaws of why i dont rock with him

badou jack looks like age and the hard fights have took their toll. might be time to lower competition for him

rau'shee warren is heading towards jobber to the stars status with that record he has...you almost forget that he actually held a title briefly..hes getting old and he is operating at one of the toughest divisions in boxingi in 118 with going 115 or 122 not really being a good idea

oubaali fits in nicely at 118...when the WBSS tournament commences he will for fun fights with whoever escapes with the other 3 belts plus regular title

the less said about the opener the better

Man watching Pacquiao work is something else man. Broner was game up until he started getting overwhelmed and hit by shots he couldn't see coming.

I still got a bad feeling about Pacquiao continuing to fight into his 40s though. He's still competitive but you can just see the age on him.


Edit: Pacquiao Crawford would've been such a dope fight. Fukk man.

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

What??

You nikkas must be bullshytting to not know when Floyd is PURPOSELY doing shyt

So now the second fukking fight is irrelevant because he dominated the nikka once again but in better fashion

Floyd stood directly in front of Maidana ON PURPOSE. Standing there to get hit is NOT Floyd’s style these days. Maidana could barely beat a serious Broner and got hurt by feather fisted Amir Khan, you really think he’s out here giving Floyd trouble if Floyd fights in HIS style?

Stop

right now crawford is the only welter that i would say the party's over for pac should they ever fight

 

[Spliff]

Get this nikka off the podium

You don't think Spence puts a beating on him?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Stop

Or

Stop dikkriding fat Maidana for getting his ass beat twice

Broner is a comedian to me..heres the thing..he caught him when he wanted alot tonight..he didnt put the workrate in..He handicapped himself. It's just so funny watching Spence fights and then what happened tonight. Tragic.

Broner is not handicapping himself. To say he's handicapping himself is saying that broner CAN do more but he chooses not to. But the truth is broner can't do more because he doesn't have the ability. It's been the same story his whole career but people still ask why he doesn't do more. It's very simple. Broner absolutely can't engage fully without getting tagged. And he knows that. That's why he chooses to play it safe and survive fights rather than winning. His defensive ability isn't good enough to let his hands go. And his mind isn't quick enough to make adjustments. That's not a choice it's just a reality.

I feel like that's what separates the good from the great. In every sport. The ability to multitask. Floyd could do so many things at once in the ring. His mind was just sharp like that. Lebron is the greatest of his time because he can do it all. Broner is like a point guard with tunnel vision. You can't teach that type of shyt. Especially at broners age. All those guys at the elite level don't just have elite level physical talent they have elite level IQ. Elite level mental strength. Broner is in a chess game playing checkers.

Not sure if posted but my nikka fukk the interview he always says some shyt its part of his appeal

What got me with this nikka this time....

He immediately ran to the ropes to jump up like he won hahahaha

You are coming across as a stan, as opposed to someone who is actually watching what is taking place.

Your reading comprehension seems to be poor as well. The second fight, has nothing to do with what took place the first fight. They're two completely different fights. What are you not understanding here? Obviously Floyd's experience during the first fight made the second fight easier.

The first fight with Maidana was MUCH tougher then expected. If you choose to believe Floyd intentionally made it a tough fight, that's on you.

My point still stands on the initial argument. Physical/dirty fighters can give older fighters fits. I think if Manny would have rematched Horn, he would have washed him.

I’m a Stan because I know Maidana wasn’t shyt for Floyd

The second fight has everything to do with the first because it was the same 2 nikkas fighting. First fight was proving a point, second fight was like fukk your point I’m boxing MY way...

Floyd boxed his ass off instead of standing still, wtf does reading comprehension has to do with that genius... you obviously never saw the difference and don’t know shyt about boxing styles

I’m not reading the rest of that dumb shyt, I got partying to do

The fact that there was even a rematch illustrated Floyd wasn't pleased with the first fight man.

 

[Kal-El]

AB is done in boxing. Hope he makes good investments and spends his money wisely.

I fukks with AB and want him to live a good happy life. And to be honest...who didn't see this coming? Pacman is a superior athlete/boxer who takes the craft of boxing serious. Not 3 months a year like AB

Take care of ya money AB

 

[TheNig]

This nikka tried to pull up on Jim Gray.

Do you even know the reason there was a rematch

It was because people were saying it was a tough flight and Floyd was like. Then he blew his ass out the water with HIS regular fighting style.




That’s the only fukking reason. Floyd doesn’t even have it up there as his toughest fight

Two things about the second fight you left out that weren't part of the second fight.

1. Kenny Bayless was handpicked by Floyd for the second fight becuz he knew that Bayless wouldn't let Chino push him around like Weeks did. There was a point in the first fight where Floyd looked up at Weeks like "You just gone let this nikka maul me ? " and Tony was like "Nah nikka. You gotta throw some hands tonight "

Anytime Chino pinned Floyd on the ropes or started roughhousing, Kenny broke that shyt up. That's always been my one issue with Bayless. He doesn't let fighters figure it. I've always preferred Weeks, Wills, and Reese over Bayless. He's usually way too involved in the fight.

2. Floyd got pinned in the corner at the end of round 2 in the second fight


That punch changed the entire dynamic of the fight. Floyd felt that shyt and knew he couldn't afford to feel that again.

So when you say the Chino wasn't shyt for him, you're selling him short considering some of the things he was able to do against him.
