#BandCamp...What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas: Adrien Broner vs Shawn Porter Fight Thread

That's only because a ton of late money was thrown down on AB...because the odds were so good against him.

Up until right before the fight, AB was the underdog ever since the fight was announced. I know because I search the Vegas odds to post em

It was a 50/50 fight breh...if the odds changed at MGM im sure they changed at other sites too

AB had the backing of alot of the media N boxing community in fight picks...thats not an underdog

That's the thing.... he doesn't really have a jab. Outside of blazing speed I'm finding it really difficult to see what this dude does good. He's not very good defensively. His footwork is a mess. He doesn't counter very well. What does Broner do better than everyone else at 140/147?


And people are sitting here saying that Showtime was being rough and tumble. We knew that was coming. But give dude some credit. From round 5 on, that jab was in Broner's face and he had no answer for it.


And instead of finding someone to fight Thurman, why won't Floyd fight him? One Time has been the WBA mandatory forever.

That's cuz haymon is trying to sabotage thurminators career.

Undefeated at 140.

#4 RING ranked Junior Welterweight...who want war

demarco has no signature win. had a extremely debatable fight with ponce...........the only two fighters of note he faced at 140 n down.

taylor and the molinas are avg fighters to.

Why? He's the only PBC guy that the people really love right now.

AB is a dirty fighter and the Ref showed way too much restraint and bias. He should have at taken at least 2 more points from him during this fight. And even with the ref in his corner AB got worked. Dude just doesn't have it. It's hilarious seeing his stans in this thread talking about if he just does this and that... He doesn't do it cause he can't do it. He is not Floyd's successor. He is just not that good and always been more hype than substance. He is a B level fighter and will never be top tier. You cant be cocky and undisciplined in defeat. Floyd backs up his persona by his dominance in the ring.. AB is just a loser. Let his career fade into the bushes where it belongs.

naw spence the new lil bro.....floyd been planning it for a while too.

Dawg.... he got next. I just don't like a Thurman or Porter for him right now. Let him fight Maidana or do some talking with the other side for a fight with Chaves.

Regardless, he took that L and needs to man up and admit it.

Not showing up for the post conference, when he was perfectly healthy, was wack

The people love him yes, but he should be bigger then he is rightnow... I feel they keeping him at bay cuz the people would start to demand him to fight floyd and haymon don't want that.

He's been asking for Floyd for about a year now.

i agree 100%

but marcos is probably a lil too much for spence now....chaves would be decent .

naw weeks is just a very leaniant/passive ref. marcos fought dirty vs floyd n weeks didn't do shyt....im surprised he took a point from broner .

overall i like him in most fights.

 

[Newzz]

What's wrong with that?

demarco has no signature win. had a extremely debatable fight with ponce...........the only two fighters of note he faced at 140 n down.

taylor and the molinas are avg fighters to.

But he's still ranked ahead of Crawford
