SOME FANS & SCRIBES THINK BRONER IS BOXING GOD
Adrien “Still Got Problems” Broner
San Francisco, CA– Today’s delusional fan would like you to believe that Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and Adrian Broner, are on an even keel seing they all snagged gold rings in four different boxing weight divisions. To suggest that (31-2, 23 KOs) Broner, who stopped Khabib Allakhverdiev (19-2, 9 KOs) in round 12 of a WBA 140 lb. title tiff Saturday night on Showtime, be put in the same postal code as the aforementioned gladiators, is an indictment of the boxing game in 2015.
KHAN HAS PHYSICAL ADVANTAGES, MAYBE NOT MENTAL WITH MANNY
The talk of a Amir Khan-Manny Pacquiao bout is interesting in that it would pit rival promotional entities Top Rank (Team Pac) and Premier Boxing Champions (Team Khan). These two parties are at each other’s throat as Bob Arum and his Boxing Establishment are under siege as Haymon continues to stockpile talent.
TEENAGE PRODIGY KHAN HAS GREAT ABILITIES
Unfortunately Amir Khan, the great fistic technician that he is, the perception is he “cannot catch well.” That’s because Khan was KOd by Colombian banger Breidis Prescott and then World champion Danny Garcia. Truth be told, Khan was pushing his luck by straining to make 140 lbs., thus he was “never right” at jr. welterweight. Now as a welter (147), Amir has a chance to fight sans having to cut muscle to make weight.
AS PAC RUNS FOR SENATE, BOXING TO BE PHASED OUT
With Manny Pacquiao making more money than he can ever spend in the Floyd Mayweather loss, Pac is set. Once the fiercest flame in the boxing world, Manny’s heights have been reached and the flame has been reduced to a “pilot” light. His zenith was a period of time when people like Paulie Malignaggi labeled him a “cheat” and a user of Performance Enhancing Drugs. Regardless of Paulie’s claims, that peak, whether artificial or not, was better than three long years ago.
BOX NOTES: PACQUIAO-KHAN AND DURAN-BRONER
