Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford More Talented, Dedicated Than Broner

[MurkaMan]

I wouldn't expect Broner to get off an 8 punch combination on Crawford. I've only seen him do that against stationary targets like Rees and Escobedo. In those fights, Broner was able to do anything he wanted to, simply because he was comfortable because of the fact that they were not only stationary and limited, but also because of how much he drastically outweighed them. He could literally just fight whenever he wanted to. Against Pauli, he was forced to lead and was forced to fight at another tempo. THATS why he looked bad. He didn't have an opponent just walking into short counters that he could just pick off like that.

And you mention Broner's inside fighting, but Crawford has shown that he is diverse in every category. He was even walking Prescott down in certain moments of their fights. I just see his foot movement being more effective than Pauli's with more tools in his arsenal. I hope they put this fight together so I can win some money.

Yea but Broner makes small adjustments with his counters, and can punch where you will be, opposed to where you are. Crawford to me, is a basic Pernell, Pep type of fighter. Broner is a very unique defensive fighter. He is a cross between Floyd and James Toney. His inside game is something I never seen in the history of the sport.

I already noted that Paulie's movement gave Broner problems. But the weight is the reason why Broner's body was so lazy, why he never threw combinations, why he only did the shoulder roll the whole fight, didnt try to slip punches, catch punches. He jumped up two weight classes, and your not going to be at your best. Watch what he does to Maidana. He gonna be sharper now that he's settling in the class.

Crawford gets caught by left hands as we just seen btw. Crawford is a decent inside fighter. Decent at best, but he gets hit allot and Broner's power would be too much. Its no way in hell you would bet on skinny azz crawford to beat Broner, no matter what you say LOL

Lmaol folks like myself don't respect ****ty ass prospects until they fight someone their own size and competitive. I mean when you are a prospect and don't respect your opponent regardless then you are not committed like arum said?? Remember broner doesn't just want to be a regular champ he is talking up his ass he is the next mayweather when is not even close.

Pbf could of never gotten hurt by JMM and others did he stood there and trade like a dumbass???? A complete. Fighter doesn't do **** like that and don't use demarco as an excuse cause demarco never had one punch ko power he stood right there because he is slow and is a punching bag thats why his team choose him instead of abril who has a weaker punch than demarco. I mean your theory is so ****** tell me what happened in the pdl fight cause he sure as hell does have more power than demarco.

I won't respect broner until he proves himself against a good fighter even against paulie he looked ****ty. If he decided to stay there and get hit then that tells me he just sucks and is not the complete package.

Broner needs to prove something in his next fight for people like me can respect him and see his true skills.

So basically. If you're not as good as Floyd Mayweather, you suck. You're a ****in moron.

Resident uncle tom, SlurpaMan, definitely doesn't take his arse-licking cheerleading duties lightly, does he? And this guy wants to claim he isn't a fan of Broner?



Nothing outlandish about this crusty old git's claim, either.

If you feel Im a Broner fan, thats your opinion! Your entitled to feel whatever you want! No beef.

They were not the best in their weight class. And I wouldn't use Ponce as an example of Broner's class when most saw Ponce beating Broner in that fight. Most hardcore fans and press row.

I think for myself. And to ME Broner only lost 2 rounds, he dominated. But boxing fans are not perceptive. Ponce overwhelmed him with combinations in the second round and in the 8th or 9th round, and that combined with ponce's awkward style, blinded you all into thinking Broner lost. Broner dominated. Nothing is going to blind me into seeing anything.

[MurkaMan]

LOL Crawford is mentally weak. He reacts to thew crowd instead of focusing on doing his thing. He has a problem with fighters who use movement, and defense. He starts getting caught when he faces these types of styles. I predict Broner would eat this frail guy alive, but I think Crawford will make it competitive for 2 or 3 rounds while it last!

[hitking]

If you feel Im a Broner fan, thats your opinion! Your entitled to feel whatever you want! No beef.

And if you are a Broner fan, so the **** what. These corny mutha****as on here kill thinking someone is somehow less of a fight fan because they like a Floyd or a Broner, or anyone else they dislike.

[HanzGruber]

broner> crawford.. you cant tell me with a straight face that broner wouldnt have ended this russian dude by now

[dc3383]

If Crawford is a more talented fighter; Arum needs to look in mirror at *****ty exposure he has got for him. Broner is about to headline a PPV'. While Crawford is a Boxing After Dark undercard fighter. I guess he's just slow cooking him.

[periks19]

So basically. If you're not as good as Floyd Mayweather, you suck. You're a ****in moron.

Basically if you don't fight good boxers you are not what you say (next mayweather). I am not the one saying broner is the next mayweather he is.

I mean name me his top opposition and tell how his perfomances where? Enough ****ing said now go to your room and kiss your Adrian broner Poster goodnight.

[thuggery]

Crawford is boring as shit going life and death with this guy. I'd rather watch Broner
