Round-by-Round: Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner - January 19, 2019

[Evander]

What a terrible advert for a main event ppv.
Can't fault Manny at all, he came to fight and win and did just that.
Broner had two intentions, one to get a payday and two to do as little as he could to earn it.
I'm not even going to entertain Broner's idea it was even a close fight, Broners a joke plain and simple and did himself no favours at all and has no business headlining a ppv card ever again.

Did people come in thinking Jack was the best in the division?

I came thinking he was a past prime fighter. He's been in too many wars against big punchers to still be good at this age. On top of that, he's north of his best division. I thought he lost close but clear to Stevenson, so I didn't think he was the best in the division.

Browne is a solid fighter, but he's nothing special. Already should have a loss to Hot Rod that he never avenged. He also put on quite a horrible performance against an aged, half-blind fighter. Bivol, Gvozdyk, and Beterbiev all would've stopped that version of Jack that showed up tonight.

Eh, Jack is what he is, solid but nothing extraordinary about him, nearly always coming up short. Never got the hype, the talent just isn't there, moreso heart. More of a gatekeeper to me.

Yep, at this point and at 175 he is a gatekeeper at best.
