"From Being Fed Mexicans to Being Fed to Them?" Broner v Vargas SHOWTIME 4/21 Fight Thread

[surv2syn]

A punch caused the cut though, that straight right was landing along with the left counter AB is slower to me/cant bully guys consistently at the higher weights thats one reason the combination punching isnt there.

I dont think he is slower. He definitely cant bully guys though. I think he still thinks he can fight like Floyd. He still uses those same mechanics in there with the lead rights and lunging lead lefts. the difference is, Broner can only do one thing at one time, thats either be on the attack or on defense. his counterpunching isnt there, jab non existent. he just struggles with top 10 opposition that move their hands. really Vargas may have deserved to win. had he gotten the nod I certainly wouldnt have complained.

combination punching isnt hard to do if you train for it in repetition. when he let his hands go he didnt have a problem with combos. and damn near everything Vargas was putting on him was combos. Broner isnt a super intellectual fighter in the ring and he has no savvy or gym tricks. Vargas is trash to me, Broner couldve been hitting him and turning him all night. aint nothing special about Vargas, he is just a average fighter with a good motor. it would take a while to break Broner's bad habits and thats even doubtful that he can.

Gary Russell was thinking about that Lions analogy for weeks

he shouldve saved it for a better opponent. nobody tryna hear that shyt when he talkin bout huntin jojo diaz. nikka, fight more than once a year.

AB main issue is he a lil guy coming forward, off tape since Chino dropped him twice moving backwards its like he has a fear of fighting on the back foot and not catching a shot he doesn't sees

As seen with Vargas Broner fights best at a distance off the backfoot where he could see shots, get off and counter with his speed....His lack of foot work is still troubling....

This Vargas fight was also a good presentation of how strong Maidana was...
Vargas hit Broner with everything but the kitchen sink especially in the first half but he just kept going forward
Now compare that to the second KD from the Maidana fight when he dropped Broner with a left hook which was precise and solid but didn't look that dynamic at all. Vargas hit him with some punches which seemed way bigger but no effect

Fixed......


That Boy chin is legendary.....If that boy doesnt have CTE in 2 years that nikka is truly a physical specimen......Chino, Garcia, and Vargas all seriously emptied the tank trying to ko that man

We saw them early CTE stages post fight

Reason Broner start looking decent towards end of the fight because Vargas gassed brehs

Can't be mad at the draw though but Vargas seem to use to much energy in the first 6 rounds of that fight.

Agree, he wasn’t used to throw so many punches, he pushed it too strong in the first half. If he’d have breaken the action more he could been more fresh later

Fight was fixed as fukk; with how Broner and Vargas went at it post fight with their antics....



I'm sure Vargas did the Job and took his foot off the gas
