Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner on ITV4 - 19 January 2019

[ILikeBeer]

You'd think ITV4 would repeat the fight at a decent hour the next day instead of 11:20pm , if they want to build up a boxing fanbase it should be on around the 8pm or 9pm time. I remember when the repeat of a big fight was on Sunday morning

What's stopping them repeating it in the morning? They could probably do it morning AND evening? I mean, how often do they get something of the caliber of a Pac fight on? What other quality programming would they be missing on ITV4 on a Sunday morning?

[ILikeBeer]

i thought manny won at least 9 rounds, hes not what he was but hes still handy

Fair play to him.

After the Horn loss, I thought he was pretty much on the decline.

Broners got bags of talent but has some kind of mental block when he’s got quality in front of him, can’t see him fixing that.

Yeah, he's blocked by a huge empty space in his skull. He's really an idiot. Wonder if his IQ is over/under 85. You can't fix stupid.

I'd say he's below 85. He must be around the level where it becomes legal mental retardation.

Absolutely this. He is as dumb in the ring as he is out of it. He must have zero ring IQ because he seems incapable of making any adjustments or changing his game plan...

[Flump]

Broner is one of those guys who is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, he's got some physical gifts, but his talent is very much overstated.

The reason he throws so few shots, is he is scared he will get hit, because he is not good enough to avoid being hit and throw his own shots.

Agree totally and to expand on that I think he's scared of getting stopped because the damage to his reputation in the 'hood would destroy him mentally.

That's why when he's in against quality opposition he only turns it on either when the bell is about to ring or he doesn't have to go out for another round.

[Nightmare Roy]

He's been pretty much a high end journeyman since Maidana showed him who is boss, he'll probably get more big fights becuase it gives a lot of people a lot of pleasure seeing him get his ass kicked, horrid human being.

One thing he is an expert at though is fathering illegitimate children,loads of em,must be trying to form his own AB Hood

[danconnollyeire]

Was only up a few rounds vs Theophane. A lot of people thought he lost to Malignaggi. Split decision win vs Adrian Granados. Never beaten a world class fighter

[Wake up call]

The fight is on the ITV hub and the show can be downloaded and watched in full.

I rarely Sky+ anything these days. I tend to forget and then watch it on catch up.

[handsofstone]

Wouldve loved to have seen Broner against Burns, think he was all wrong for Burns but would've loved to have seen Broner in those later rounds when Burns was at his best, can imagine Broner backpeddling like fvck at Burns walks him down relentlessly

[Tuan_Jim]

For those whose recordings cut out, or who just want to enjoy it again, here are the post-fight interviews from Showtime's YouTube channel. It makes for a fascinating psychological study. Actual tough guy: quiet, thoughtful, polite, gentlemanly. Fake tough guy: loud, aggressive, yobbish, threatening.

[Coco]

Bronzer is a real talent, could have hung with the elites, but lack of work rate and fighting at the wrong weight suggests a lack of dedication.

[Steveh583]

Manny had an awful cold as well. Looked like death an the post fight presser

[youngrell]

That Broner interview is a shocker. What a complete bellend.

[oogiebe]

That Broner interview is a shocker. What a complete bellend.

Isn't it amazing that no matter how shocking he's been, he always seems to deliver over and over again!

[bigjack]

I wouldn't piss on About Bellend if he was on fire.

[THEBUTCH]

Clear points win for Pacman. Broner way off on his post fight comments, even by his standards. I think more people will just lose interest in him rather than continue to hate.

[gilgamesh]

I can't say I'm surprised that Broner was a douche in the post fight interview. I'll see it next week when Showtime replays the bout, but I can pretty well imagine what he probably said even without seeing it.

Hopefully for Pac's sake the rumors about the injury to his eye aren't true, and he's able to have that multi-million dollar rematch with Mayweather that seems to be in the works, if this is indeed the end of the line for Pac though. What a career it's been.

[jamamb]

apparently this looks like it will do about 100k ppv buys better in the us then fury vs wilder did....both 75 dollars us
