Broners biggest issue to me is how stiff he is. he backs straight up from punches, doesn't bend his knees when he's rolling with punches and stands way too wide to get out of the way very well. He makes too many fundamental errors to be what he says he wants to be.
Lucas isnt some crude brawler, he sets up his punches well and his timing is excellent, if not for Garcia's steller chin he would have knocked him the fukk out.
Broner, unless he learned some new tricks, is getting knocked the fukk out IMO
Broner can win, because Lucas isn't unbeatable, but it would take way more of the movement he showed in his last fight. And even then he'll get hit.
And I think Broner can put Lucas down once or twice, because Molina dropping him twice and wobbling him showed me that his chin isn't where it was before. But he'll keep getting up and pressing. I'm not sure Broner is active enough to put him away or keep him at bay.
If Broner just stands there with his weak shoulder roll, Lucas will step around and Broner will end up on the canvas. In 6 years the only guy that hasn't gone down or gotten stopped against Lucas is Danny Garcia and he fought the best fight I've seen anyone fight against Lucas, showed a great chin, plus the eye limited him.
Even Devon Alexander, who fought a careful, strategic fight with good movement got caught and went down. And Broner isn't as good as Devon. It would be an ugly fight and a long night for Broner. It's clear why Haymon is trying to hold off on setting it up for as long as possible.
..so much struggle
