(Photo: Naoki Fakuda) By Marcus Stewart: Reigning WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco faces fringe lightweight contender Adrien Broner. Broner has been hyped up by many American journalists to be the next Floyd Mayweather. How? The fact that he’s fought no one credible and he claims to be one of the best is laughable and outright stupid if you ask me. One journalist in particular states that he’ll be the next pound for pound king. Irrational and ridiculous for someone to state something like that.
Antonio DeMarco is a very talented south paw and without a doubt the best lightweight in the world, bar Ricky Burns of course. DeMarco recently won his last fight by a destructive TKO victory over John Molina whereby it only took one straight left hand to end the bout. That’s the kind of power that DeMarco possess.
Broner however has been over-hyped majorly. He’s yet to beat anyone credible, he appears to only throw around 10 punches a round and is very easy to hit. His power is somewhat overrated and in his last fight against Vicente Escobedo he looked lethargic and slow.
DeMarco is someone that Broner will have to figure out otherwise this will be an early night for “the problem”, the irony of that is however is that he’s going to have a lot of problems dealing with the clearly more talented DeMarco. Adrien Broner is nothing more than another hyped up American who’s luckily got decent exposure against 2nd tier opposition. I can see this ending badly and brutally for Broner and I am confident that DeMarco will still be the World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight champion by the end of the fight.
