I WANT TO SEE ADRIEN BRONER vs TIM BRADLEY

Post by KBB »

Bradley has said some special things about him and maybe it's the beginning of a build up of some sort but we know right now that PBC and Top Rank isn't gelling at the moment but I still would want to see it so that the war of words leads to a face to face encounter.

If they did hook up, who wins and how?? Bradley has been showing some vulnerability of late being hurt by fighters who aren't known for their punching power and Broner has shown that he isn't a good fighter when he is pressured.

How do you see this bout playing out?

Bradley is still at a different level skill wise. I agree that he seems to be sliding into his post prime career, but I think that makes him perhaps more vulnerable to a big puncher and Broner is far from a destroyer. From what I've seen, Broner has nothing to really bother him. Bradley wins a comfortable decision against Broner, who would once again be content to be outworked by a more professional, harder working opponent.

But why not make the fight? Broner is never going to beat anybody near the top anyway, his career as a headliner is already dead.

Ramming Speed v FMJ makes better sense with Boner v Berto on the underbelly.

You want to see it why? Bradley would win easily. Broner sucks.

Broner can't beat elite Weltwerweights & although Bradley may have peaked already, he's still up there & far too good for Broner.

Be kind of like the Porter fight. Now, Porter vs Bradley would be a good one.

I think bradley would beat the crap out of him, but I do question bradleys chin. Dude tends to get rocked by some guys that aren't necessarily the biggest punchers. I could see bradley getting dropped a couple times but still winning every other round.

I am afraid that Bradley was damaged in the Provo fight. If he fights Broner, it should be at at least 147 or better above that where Broner's punch is not so effective.

Bradley at this stage in his career is still better conditioned than Broner. Can't see Bradley letting up on Broner and Broner takes too many breaks to win rounds against Bradley. Bradley is a bit more vulnerable but he's always been rocked. He just always had great recuperative powers and while Broner does have some power, he's not a good finisher and we've never seen Bradley finished off even by Provo.

Bradley/Porter would make a lot more sense. Broner has not shown himself to be on Bradley's level. I'm not even sure he'd beat Guerrero who seems to be the division's big name punching bag these days.

Bradley/Clown Shoes would go a lot like Holt/Bradley did. I think Clown Shoes would catch Bradley off guard early with his speed and power, but Bradley would eventually overwhelm him with pressure, speed, and combos winning a clear cut decision.

Then we'd go on to hear Clown Shoes say something about Tim's wife or something like that during the post fight interview.

bradley dominated his last fight until getting careless in the last round and leaning
face forward into that shot. anyone in the division who got hit by that shot in that way
would have been just as hurt. i don't see bradley being hurt by that shot as anything
more than that is what happens when you get careless and he showed great durability
to stay on his feet and avoid getting hit by another. bradley would do the same thing
vs broner and broner's only hope of winning would be bradley getting careless again
in the last few rounds with the win in hand. as said before, if haymon and arum were
matching fighters, it should be bradley-floyd with broner-berto as chief support.

I'd favor Bradley over Broner in a very entertaining fight. Though, I feel Broner has untapped skills and potential that could beat anyone on any given night but he's happy to stay with his current trainer and yes men that do not bring the best out of him. He will eventually get to the point where he has to turn to one of the best trainers we have like Sanchez, Roach or Jackson and we'll see him soar.

Bradley's relentless pressure is the exact thing that Broner has had issues with. Maybe Broner learned something in the Porter fight that changes things around for him. When he poured it on in he 12th, I think that he found the gear that he needs to fight more rounds in. Broner's a punk and not a great ambassador for the sport but he's got so much skill, speed and power. It's sad to see any great athlete not fulfill their potential and i'd put Broner, the boxer, in that category.

Bradley wins this by a huge decision, unless he gets the same judges who did the Chaves fight.
Would love to see Bradley in another huge fight. Thurman or Brook.

I still don't get where this infatuation with the untapped or potential great skills of Broner comes from. Maybe the hype is part of that I dunno. But as a LW he looked great. As a welterweight, be honest, he could easily be 0-2 only win came by the skin of his teeth against one of the weakest WW title holders in recent memory.. at 140 he was good against a contender and lukewarm against a couple punching bags. The bad habits are more visible than the potential, is that too harsh? I see a good fighter but I don't see one shot where he caught porter napping and could do nothing else after as being indicative of something great in the future. He's good, not great. Bradley would beat him for sure, and Bradley is not what he was either.
