You still mad Spence broke Brook :umad:

Still nothing you could do about it :mjgrin:

Nothing I could do except switch sides :mjgrin:

Hornet Gang we aint mad out here

#1 Welterweight on Boxrec :wow:
#8 P4P :wow:

See how life rewards you when you use effective aggression unlike that dumbass throwing like 1000 punches a round

See how these asians switch up when its a cac handing em that L though when Floyd sonned this guy it was 'no no no we want rematch he did nothing he was running i hurt my shoulder' :mjpls:

Hornet gives you that L and you're on TV like 'i respect the decision :mjcry: '

Is it me, or should Broner be the favorite against Mikey Garcia?

-Garcia looked terrible at 140, sure he was coming off of a lay off, but Ward and Mayweather coming off lay-offs NEVER looked that bad. Dude stayed in the gym and is only 29 with 30+ professional bouts, I'm not buying the layoff excuse. 140 ain't good for him.
-Broner has looked immaculate at 140
-Broner'll be moving back down, lots of his power and speed will be retained at the lower weight
-Garcia's never faced any elite black fighters. In fact, he had trouble with the only black fighter I know of that he fought, Cornelius Lock.
-If this were '13 or '14 when Mikey was creeping up on the p4p lists, at 130, the 5-1 favorite thing would make sense. Here, it simply doesn't. For all we know, he may not even be the best 135 fighter today.
-I honestly don't think either guy is "at their peak" career wise, but physically Broner hasn't slipped near as far as advertised. That 5-1 shyt got him in the zone. It's highly disrespectful and if I were a betting man, I'm taking those odds without blinking.
-Yes, I do think Broner runs through Mikey's competition a lot easier than Mikey would run through his. Salido would be his toughest test at 130. Mikey against Porter, Maidana, or Granados at 147? Good luck with that...

Now, with all that said, it's still a great match-up on paper. But 5-1? Hell, I don't even think Garcia should be the favorite...

Garcia hasn't ever fought at 140. The 'worst' he ever looked at 130 was against Rocky Martinez, who he KO'd in 8 rounds, although getting caught with a flash KD. I agree with the odds being ridiculous. Broners size is being overrated, and Mikey's boxing underrated IMO/
