Broner is a very good inside fighter....what do you mean? He always gets on the inside and uses his strength to hit you on the inside and push you backwards. He's a mid-range, inside fighter. He doesn't really fight on the outside unless he's trying to create distance to catch his breath.



Even against Maidana, he walked HIM down and fought on the inside vs him. Mikey aint gonna stop that.
He does that when the opponent doesn't have enough power and skill to keep him off but I think Mikey has, There were some points where he tried to walk down Maidana, yeah but in most rounds it was the other way around.
Nowadays he rather picks his spots from mid range than truly go on the inside to engage in a physical battle.

We gonna see but I think Mikey is too skilled and has enough power to not get walked down.

Sanchez : Golovkin Will Wear Down Canelo Like He Did Brook

Abel Sanchez, trainer of IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs), says his team is not paying any attention to Floyd Mayweather's dominating win over Saul "Canelo" Alvarez from September 2013.

Mayweather cruised to a one-sided decision win over Canelo, at a catch-weight of 152-pounds, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Canelo is set to challenge Golovkin for his titles on September 16th, as part of Mexican Independence Day weekend, on HBO Pay-Per-View.

More than anything else, Sanchez wants the fight to be very exciting and believes that a "Mayweather approach" to the fight would do more harm than good. Additionally, Golovkin is a highly offensive fighter, but while Mayweather is predominately a defensive fighter.

"Mayweather is more of a safety first fighter and I think that's what made it a lacklustre fight [with Canelo], even though he was dominant," Sanchez exclusively told Sky Sports.

"The fans are looking for entertainment and entertainment from two guys who come forward has to be the kind of fight that people enjoy. I think that Joshua-Klitschko set the tone for the beginning of the year. Jacobs-Golovkin also set the tone for the beginning of the year and I think in 2017 we're going to get more fights like this.

Sanchez is giving his fighter a very good chance to pull off a knockout victory if GGG begins to lands his big shots in the second half of the contest.

"Saul has got very fast hands, throws nice combinations and he is a come-forward kind of guy, so we're going to have two come-forward guys with real good hand speed. Neither guy has got the Floyd Mayweather defence, so they are going to hit each other and it's going to be a great fight.

"I see Golovkin winning going away, but if Golovkin is able to tag him in the second part of the fight - he may stop him late. Again, like with Kell [Brook], Golovkin just being the heavier puncher and the more physical guy. Canelo will wear down, but it's going to be a very entertaining fight."

The way he lowkey puts an equation mark between Brook and Canelo :mjlol:

It wasn't true breh.



Nobody drinks Lean to stay awake all night....Broner was playing with yall, and yall bought into it:hubie:



Only thing that's gonna be on lean is Mikey after AB puts him down for a 10 count:ahh:


I know that's your man so you gonna ride for him breh but we'll see come fight night. If his punch resistance and timing has gone down it will def be due to the opiates.

The fact that he ballooned up so big when a few weeks ago he was around 150ish makes be believe lean is involved all that soda(empty cals) along w the prometh/opiate slows down your metabolism.

He cleans up anyone below 140 besides Santa Cruz imo. Above 140 is where it gets dicey we're going to see if he can handle the size difference
I think he beats LSC and is much more talented than him, but I am not that high on Leo. Frampton was able to hurt Leo and Mikey wont have Frampton massive reach disadvantage. Mikey by possible late KO. :manny:

At less than 140 I only worry about Loma just because he has so much skill that can overcome some size advantage. And from some recent pics I have seen, Loma doesn't look terribly undersized when next to guys in bigger weight classes.

Broner will be a good test to see what Mikey looks like at 140. He gets a big name fight against a quality opponent, but one who underachieves. Safer than jumping in right away with Pacquiao or Crawford right now.

Maidana got (self-admittedly) hurt by AB, was walked down by AB, and 2 of the judges had that fight 8-4 & 7-5 respectively......AB's only a became a better fighter since then.



The Great Mikey has no flaws according to everyone, so when Broner beats him, I want 0 excuses from anyone.

I gotta put a muzzle on my dude Abel. He gonna be unbearable in the lead up to the fight.

Damn, so the Garcia/Broner fight is gonna be the same night as the UFC's Cormier/ Jones fight? Smh. Great night of combat sports.

Have they announced where the Garcia/Broner fight will be at?
No official announcement yet, but it was hinted that this fight will be at the Barclays. So that's where I'm assuming it will be at until further notice
