I know Mikey is lighter but I wouldn't be surprised to see a Maidana type beating here still.

It would be a worse beating than that.

I reported the same story over six weeks ago and it still hasn't come to fruition... :verysad:

Hypothetically

What weight would it be? 140 I assume? Can AB do lightweight?

When he was around the lower weights AB looked pretty damn unbeatable. Fast, powerful, destructive. Garcia kinda looks like a killer too.

However since his unsuccessful jump up from 135 to 147 broners come unstuck. I think there's too much baggage and drama around his career to expect him to win this fight now. If he took the game seriously it could be a different analysis

He just faced better opposition when he moved up. Broner never had me fooled.

Me neither. The same flaws that he had when I thought he didn't deserve the decision against Ponce De Leon he has basically never improved upon. He has a lot of natural talent, and that is able to take him a pretty long way, but the holes in his game remain.

I think Broner has a better chance of ending up with a jail cell than with a belt.
It's a pity, but his lifestyle is out of control.
