I think Broner is hungry and will live up to his moniker of being a Problem for Garcia, however I have to go with the more disciplined, and consistent Garcia to win by close but unanimous decision.

If you're betting, put your money on Broner because he has a decent shot at pulling the upset.
 
People sleeping on Broner. They forget he got alot of natural talent, as long as he unlocks it during the fight.

Im leaning towards Broner 55/45.
 
I'm pulling for Broner, he's never lost a fight under 147. However he has lost ever big fight he's had....I'm conflicted, but I want Broner to pull it off.
 
I'll be cheering for Garcia. Broner isn't trying as hard to be a Mayweather clone these days so he is a bit more bearable but I still find his schtick annoying. He is a talented fighter I wish he would justs fight instead of trying to show his defensive skills. The fights he has lost were mostly due to inactivity while trying to shoulder roll.
 
I got garcia but I think broner will make it interesting. First time Garcia fights at 140


Awesome OP as always Tom
 
Would like to see Broner win. He's on the cusp of being one of those talents who loses all his legacy fights. He needs this one.
 
This could be an excellent fight. Could be very good indeed.

Garcia is a far superior fighter. Broner's technique is kinda crap. But he's a beast. And he will probably outweigh Garcia by 10lbs. Will be stronger and more physical. If Broner can hurt Garcia it could get very interesting.

Garcia is incredibly accurate with his punching ability. He actually sparred with Maidana for, Marcos' fight with Broner. And used to beat the crap out of Maidana back then, even though he was a 135er. That's just sparring though.

Charlo fight should be cool too. Charlo looks like a beast. Fast and powerful. The winner of that fight is the mandatory of the winner of GGG-Canelo. So going to have another amazing MW fight down the line.

I think Charlo beats Canelo, and perhaps GGG, but that might be asking a bit too much.
 
I like Broner, he got charisma, he's funny and his style is fun to watch but he lost every time he stepped up. I got Garcia (somewhat easily tbh) but I'm looking forward to the fight anyway.

Question, if Broner does lose this fight what will be his future? Just a journey man/gate keeper?

As long as Broner fights a competitive fight even if he loses, he'll still get opportunities because of his personality and talent. He'll probably end up being like Ricardo Mayargo where he's a great B-side to fight against bigger names or better opponents and still make pretty good paydays.

Broner should've took the 4 mil and fought Pacquiao before Jeff Horn.
 
I am PISSED I'm going miss this.

Anyways I got Mikey in 8 by KO. When Broner is truly focused and starts to let his hands go he's very hard to beat. But I have no faith Broner is going to let his hands go.

People always used excuses for broner saying IF this that and the other. Stop please.
 
What the hell? Hulu TV is completely hosed for me for Showtime. All I can get is Showtime West right :(.

EDIT: Whew, thank you Hulu for allowing Showtime Anytime. I'm good :)
 
Charlo looking good. He's gonna get him out of there this round.

Edit: man this is kinda sad to watch with Heiland's leg busted......
 
Looking forward to the fight!

Originally was going for Mikey, but ever since he tweeted the picture of Broner as Donkey Kong, I'm for Broner. That was not acceptable.

Still, expecting Mikey to win, but the betting line is very enticing for a bet on Broner. I am tempted to put on money on Broner. Those are very worthwhile odds. Mikey is a little undersized at 140.

Everything says Mike should win. He is legit. But I kinda feel like Broner is taking this fight more seriously than any of his life, and will just make something happen.
