Adrien Broner is a helmet

[Matt W]

when he came through he was pretty entertaining, now i can't stand him, would be a real shame if he gets sparked then blows all his money The maidana fight was an absolute pleasure to watch.

Yeh,it was great watching him walk back to the dressing room on his own,sobbing like a new born baby,made my Christmas that did

well hopefully he learned something from it. Personally I feel a bit sorry for him. If he still acts a tw*t even after Maidana gave him a much needed humbling then he really doesn't have good people around him at all. A bizarre character. It's not like the blueprint for his sort of behaviour isn't well documented - i.e. acting like a flash tw*t and ending up broke.

Ultimately though he chooses who he surrounds himself with, and it looks to me like he surrounds himself with other bell-ends that make a living from blowing smoke up his ar$e. This is not conducive to being able to take the honest, long hard look at himself that was needed if he was to learn anything from the Maidana loss. IMO Broner does not have the character to do this, he would rather be told he was at the wrong weight or whatever such excuse helps him to sleep at night and maintain his 'Boxing Superstar' self-image. 100% guaranteed he will get another ar$e kicking and I will enjoy watching it just as much as I enjoyed watching Maidana spank him. Hope he gets put in with Khan, Amir will put a pasting on him.

I saw the after fight interview and thought what a classless and ignorant fool Broner was. But I'm not sure why people are up in arms about what it was he specifically said, I didn't think he was being racist, offensive or whatever...he was just being a complete knob end that ended up looking totally foolish.
Have I missed anything?

[Matt W]

I absolutely agree with people that he is an absolute prick. However I do I think his on screen personality will lead to him getting bigger purses and bigger fights. When a lot of people want to see someone get beaten up it is a powerful ticket seller and far easier to cultivate than building a genuine fan base. There are a lot of quality American light welters / welters and winning world championships won't necessary lead to multi millions. Look at Andre Ward, granted he is not an exciting fighter but neither is Mayweather, people want to see Mayweather lose, the general US public dont give a eff about Ward.

Ward gets a lot of stick for being boring but he's shown he's willing to get inside and fight (Allen Green, Froch), personally I like to watch him.

His schtick will earn him money but not fans.

@Benny.....yup, you're probably right about Thurman making it a quick, but a serious 12 round leathering would be infinitely more enjoyable. Thurman would put it on Broner and it'd be nice to see Keith go mainstream at Broner's expense.

[Plum Duffet]

It's always going to be nice seeing Broner get beaten, but I'd like to see him lose to a (no disrespect intended) second tier opponent like the bloke he fought on Saturday.

Now that WOULD be humiliating

[Taansend]

Talk about a storm in a teacup.

People are all up in arms about this supposedly racist comment, it's not even 10% of what Hopkins has come out with in the past, burning Puerto Ricans flags, spouting "white boy" shite to Calzahge and - my personal favourite - when told about Roy Jones 1st round loss in Australia said "That's what happens when you fight in Europe"

Broner is a young kid who doesn't seem too smart & he said a dumb comment in the heat of the moment & then apologised seconds later.

And since when is calling a Mexican 'Mexican' considered racist?

He's an idiot but he is an entertaining idiot. And he if ends up broke he won't be the first boxer to do so & he definitely won't be the last. People gloating over this happening need to have a good look at themselves though.

Do you know one of the worst aspects of this to me? It's the money angle. Loads of people are raised without money. My parents were so poor that I had to share a bedroom with my brother for a good few years! So why all the Billions and Money talk...it's bloody pathetic is what it is. Do the Mexicans carry on like this? Mexico's slums can compete with the best in the world I'm sure. Is it a black/ ghetto culture?? I don't know -that's why I'm asking! Sure, Tyson liked to go round buying Cadillacs and posh shirts and watches for his entourage but that was cos he wanted them and he could afford them - nowadays, it seems that the purpose of some is to publicly flaunt their wealth. It makes no sense. I'm perfectly sure there's young, black guys that do not do this kind of thing by the way - but all this "Bling" is complete bull.

On the point of Broner - whatever his character and level of intellect, the lad clearly possess determination as I've seen his training vids and he is in wicked shape. I know it's not boxing either but in one extract from his show also he shot 10 basketballs into the basket with zero misses in something like 15 seconds, without a single one touching the rim. That's the most impressive thing I've seen him do

why doesn't he take up basketball? I don't want this scumbag dragging my sport down into the mud any further than it already is.
and I concur with everyone else who says his money will slip like water through his hands - ultimately forcing him to stay in the game too long and getting his already very tiny brain mashed up worse with every punch from this or that upcoming young gun. the disrespect he shows for his opponents will only make his demise much sweeter.

[bigjack]

It wasn't the mexican comments from last weekend that bothered me,he is just a prize cock and i will follow his demise with great interest,still he is a pretty good fighter,you can't take that from him.

[misterpunch]

overrated - most of all by himself. anyone who can move well and has a decent dig, even more so at welter, will beat him.

[handsofstone]

Not saying that Broner isn't dedicated when he trains,I'm sure he is but i wish he was even more dedicated than he is,less distracted and basically a decent,likable person coz he's super talented and someone with that talent would be one of the best in the world i'm certain but he doesn't care about anyone including his trainer who he clearly doesn't listen to

Shame coz he could really light up the sport for the right reasons but instead chooses to be a massive twat and until he changes his ways i'll be looking forward to seeing him battered again
