    Broner is officially a stepping stone.

    I had him winning 2 rounds. 3 is being very generous. No way in fuckin Hell he won 4, but hey, at least they didn't rob Mikey.

    I had him winning 2 with the first round even. Garcia schooled him easily.

    Mikey won fairly easily, but I think he should drop back down to 135. His power doesn't seem as explosive at 140.

    At 140, I don't think Garcia can beat Crawford.

    Garcia was 155 lbs, he may just move up to WW

    I'd pick garcia over Crawford. But it's one of the best fight to make in boxing right now

    I didn't like the way Garcia reacted to the few flush shots Broner landed.

    I think Crawford can seriously hurt him.

    Hard to say what fight I'd rather watch right now, Garcia-Crawford or Garcia-Lomachenko? Both are fantastic match-up.

    I'm surprised you didn't score it for Broner's 'slick D' ..the way you did for Thurman against Porter.

    I agree with your card this time,.. but the bronze hawk-rabbit could've made it a lot easier with a left hook to the body,..it was there for him aaaaallll night, but he chose to tease the ribbon tied around Broner's head.

    Thurman didn't beat Porter by showing "slick D". He beat him by landing by far the cleaner, more effective punches.

    And I agree that Mikey underutilized the hook to the body.

    It's funny. It wasn't long ago you were trashing both Charlos and saying you couldn't wait for them to be exposed. J-Rock was the man who was definitely going to completely expose one of them.

    I think 'effective' punches are when you make your opponent thank the judges out loud.

    Broner has no heart. He's nothing more than a mouthpiece at this point.

    Time to go be a rapper.

    Fantastic performance by Garcia, very clinical.

    Only in this era is getting hit with two left hooks during 12 rounds seen as a weakness

    Not gonna lie I picked Broner to pull the upset. Which didnt happen. Say what yall want but dude comes to fight. What Ive learned is that he is very limited. Not skilled at all. He doesnt do anything well. That being aaid many of you guys assumed that Mikey was ko broner. Which didnt happen. Actually dude half way decent down the stretch. He walked Mikey down but just dont let his hands go.

    Broner's Hit and Hurt Bigger, BETTER Fighter's than Crawford Ever Has...

    Not Saying Crawford Can't/Won't Do It, but As of Now, Broner's the More PROVEN Puncher of the 2...

    It means for a world class boxer, he lacks a certain fighting spirit and desire, and willingness to take risks in order to win fights.

    Of course all boxers have heart to step in the ring, but we're speaking relatively. Against Maidana, despite some of his theatrics, he fought hard. But in his losses to Porter and Garcia, he fought like he was just trying to not get knocked out.

    He spent much of tonight simply shaking his head rather than throwing punches, most likely scared of the openings he'd leave when he threw punches.

    Like Mike Tyson said, "everybody has a plan until they get hit". From the 2nd round on, when Garcia started really hitting him, he fought largely a survival fight.

    We see it often, boxers that go into a defensive shell, fighting like they are trying more to not get KO'd than to win the fight. Some fighters, say Diego Corrales, say "fuck it" and take the risks anyway. Sometimes it works, sometimes they get KO'd, but no one questions their heart.

    Despite BEATING Adrien Broner, REED Hopes Mikey Garcia DOESN'T Think he's Better Equipped to Fight @ '47 than Broner Is...

    If/When Mikey Fights @ Welter, it Needs to Be LATE In His Career, When he's No Looooooooooooooooonger ABLE to Make '35 or '40 Anymore...

    While he Whipped Broner's Ass, it was UNLIKE the Way Maidana or Porter Did...No Less Impressive, yet Obviously DIFFERENT....

    Perhaps it's Just REED, but he's Amazed @ How it's Readily ACCEPTED Bob Arum Will Simply ALLOW Lomachenko or Crawford to Face Garcia, a Guy who WILLINGLY Sat on the Shelf for 2.5 Years, Rather than Fight Again for Top Rank...

    Broner's in no way, shape, or form a "proven" puncher. No evidence whatsoever.

    Their 140 results speak for themselves. Crawford without ANY DOUBT has more pop than AB. Broner hasn't displayed any pop whatsoever at 140.

    Do you really think Emanuel freakin Taylor would go the distance with Crawford?

    And just look at the difference in their results against John Molina? Broner ran to a decision, while Crawford destroyed him.

    Nice try, but TC clearly has more pop.

    Broner is a "game quitter".

    He might not outright quit like Victor Ortiz, but he'll mentally give and lose heart.

    And I'm surprised that you're JUST NOW figuring out that Broner is limited and can't box.

    We learned in the Maidana fight that Broner is very limited and can't box.

    Mikey wants Thurman next.

    Not a good idea IMO. P4P Mikey is a better fighter than Run Time, but at this present moment, I think Thurman is too big for him.

    I'd really like him to fight Loma, or Linares, or even Robert Easter.

    I'd like to see Garcia fight Lomachenko as well.

    I think Garcia avoids that fight at all costs. Lomachenko is just too good for him.

    Garcia vs Loma would be a fantastic fight, as would Garcia vs Crawford. All three are among the best at the moment and yes, also formidable fighters at any era.

    Loma has better footwork to compensate Garcia's edge in power but it would be an extremely difficult fight for both

    Gotta say I hold my hands up, I was wrong about Garcia, he's very good. This was the first full fight of his I watched and I was very impressed. I still think Loma beats him but it's no cakewalk at all. Really hope it happens.

    I haven't seen the fight but Garcia needs to stay small and not go up to 147
