Lucas has called him out repeatedly since last September's loss. He seems to be on a mission for revenge, but I don't see Garcia giving him a rematch. Matthysse vs Viktor Postol for the WBC Super Lightweight Championship will most likely be his next match since Garcia may drop the belt and move up to 147

Frampton/Martinez and Broner/Taylor definitely saved this weekend of boxing. Both fights were pretty damn good.

:mjlol: at Berto being the create a boxer in Fight Night that has max power and speed stats, but being average in everything else. nikka was still getting caught and rocked by that tune up all night just like Prime Berto :heh: was against guys like Cosome Rivera, David Estrada, and Collazo. Virgil Hunter can just :camby: already.

Ortiz talked all that shyt and lost by trying to milk the count. That ref does have a habit of fukking up knock down calls though. Both dudes fukked up. LM did what he was supposed to do. Good body shot.

Broner got hit a lil too much for my taste, but he let his offense shine in spurts. :ohlawd: at that Manny type combo towards the end of the fight.

@LauderdaleBoss....yeah, he was getting caught with some shots, but he was able to catch alot of em with his gloves or soften the impact by letting them hit half his gloves.

I did like the fact he threw the "shoulder roll" into the bushes for this fight. It allowed him to let his hands go more and block those overhand rights Taylor was trying to land.

Really good fight. Even Paulie "The AB Hater" Malignaggi was giving props talking about how high his inside fighting skills were and the subtle techniques Broner was using claiming the fight as his (Paulie's) FOTY so far.

It was a great all action fight from Round 1 through 12.

Broner blocked a good portion of Taylor's shots, but I felt he still got caught with a few extra he didn't need. He squares up a lil too much at times. Other than that, I think Broner looked good. I give his performance about a B. I'm glad he scored that Hamed type knockdown at the end because if he didn't, I'd bet you have some nikkas saying Taylor got robbed or the fight was too close.

Exactly. and to be honest none of them nikkas really looked good in their last bouts anyways.

You can add Angulo to that list too.

His performance was sub par still, only reason he won is because Taylor allowed him to steal rounds...........Taylor is a dude who got the shyt boxed out of him by Algieir, Borner aint ready fir Mathhysse or Garcia problems

:dwillhuh:

It's 10am breh.....plus it Steelers vs Browns day today. Everybody in Cleveland is woke right now:ohlawd:

I would be asleep if I didn't have to work.

Broner definitely pushed himself at the end of the fight. I would love to see him against Matthysse.

downloading the frampton and broner fight off simbros to rewatch :steviej:

Finally my boy Frampton is a world champ, his skills and style in the ring is brilliant to watch, his constant change and adaptions is why he will be at the top level for years. Got to love smart Boxer Punchers, only thing he could of done better in this fight was attack the body more.

Broner still showing flaws unfortunately, his workrate in the first half was way too low again and showed that hes a very slow starter. He needs to move more stay off them ropes and not just throw when both feet are planted. That bus driver upperhook was beautiful though, got me hyped, respect to Taylor aswell hope he gets more chances in the 140 division, losing to Broner and Algeri is no shame.

Broner better hope he doesnt get his wish of a Matthysse fight because imo he will lose

Sub par?:rudy:

His defense was at best average in the fight, but offensively he looked good in there.

Pumping the jab, showing off his combination punching ability, rocked Taylor with some hard hooks to the body and upstairs, and was even showing some improved foot work. His inside fighting game is some good shyt as well.

Overall, I thought he did go through some lulls where he would just lay on the ropes and let Taylor get some free shots on him with no return fire, and he got hit clean a few times more than he should have, but he ate em and still closed out the show in exciting fashion.

I still believe, unless you drop Broner, he's not losing a decision because he punches too accurately and when he let's his hands go, it's a beautiful sight to behold. The judges love that shyt.
