Agree that the scores weren't wide enough. I had it 119-109 Garcia as well.

Re: Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia: Who's watching?
Scary how easy Garcia made that look. Him against Crawford is pretty mouthwatering although he and his team may feel 135 is worth cleaning up first.
Re: Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia: Who's watching?
I think Crawford whoops him. Imagine what Crawford would have done to AB. Mikey is world class no doubt but Crawford is true elite level for me he just needs the big marquee wins now.jameswilson wrote:Scary how easy Garcia made that look.

Re: Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia: Who's watching?
He is my American Paul Smith. I want him to fight again at least to see him get cleaned out. I'd love Josh Taylor to get a chance but Broner isn't going to be arsed to make 140 again. He carries on at 147 that violent KO is coming.ShadrachSimmo wrote:As sh1t as Broner was/is no doubt he'll still be in more high profile/ big money fights again.

I would think the American Paul Smith would've been somebody like Rocky Juarez. Got shot after shot after shot, and never won a title, not even a paper one.Naandrew wrote:He is my American Paul Smith. I want him to fight again at least to see him get cleaned out.

Broner at least was able to win paper titles.
Re: Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia: Who's watching?
Bad choice of words just Broner is probably the fighter I hate the most abroad like Smith is over here for me. Plus at least Broner HAD talent at lightweight. Smith is just dreadful.gilgamesh wrote:I would think the American Paul Smith would've been somebody like Rocky Juarez.

Re: Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia: Who's watching?
Aside from Crawford, I'd favour Garcia over everyone at 140 and below...he's so complete and has the tools to deal with any style and attributes he'd be facing.

Re: Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia: Who's watching?
It was one sided but I enjoyed that fight. Great to watch two unbelievably skilled guys going about their business. I gave Broner 3 maybe 4 rounds and credit to him for having a go near the end although he'd have warranted more credit had he believed in himself and had a go earlier.
The closest battle of the night was in the "which summarizer can repeat himself the most" contest with Darren Barker just edging out Matt Macklin over 12 torturous rounds.

Broner at least was able to win paper titles.Broner still HAS talent, he just doesn't have a fighters heart or mentality. He thinks he can just coast by on his natural ability and doesn't bother to improve his game and he SEVERELY overrates his natural ability.
Re: Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia: Who's watching?
You really had Broner winning 3 or 4 rounds? I couldn't score him more than 1 to be honest.CaptainSpacerod wrote:It was one sided but I enjoyed that fight.

Barker did repeat himself a ridiculous number of times though, I'll agree with you on that!

I thought 119-109 - was amazed when they called 116-112 (x2)Shambles wrote:You really had Broner winning 3 or 4 rounds?

Anyway being generous Broner won 1 round and drew maybe one. Every round seemed to be the same.
Disappointing fight, it seems like Broner didn't really try to win.

As for Broner I really fear for him now outside of ring
I still want someone to lay Broner clean out.
