With big brother Floyd Mayweather Jr. getting ready to show little brother Adrien Broner how not to get hit by a slugger in Marcos Maidana, it seems that Amir Khan and Broner are willing to fight each other. While Khan has made it clear he is willing to fight on Mayweather’s undercard and already started calling out Broner, Broner is tweeting and tagging images of him fighting Khan. This will probably be an entertaining fight, but will it be competitive?
We all know styles make fights and Broner will not have to worry as much about Khan’s style or power mimicking Maidana’s, but he did not confidently demonstrate he had an answer for Paulie Malignaggi’s boxing ability. The fact Broner shows us that he spends too much time thinking in the ring rather than punching back, Khan who is known for winning rounds and outworking his opponents will probably go home with the victory with a unanimous decision.
Khan also has victories over Broner’s only two welterweight fights against Malignaggi and Maidana. Broner’s chance would be the same one Maidana needs against Mayweather, one good punch that can knockout his opponent.
We have to give credit to Golden Boy for being able to build up a fighter and when things do not go their way in welterweight (or maybe the way they knew would happen), they feed the upset winner to Mayweather. Andre Berto was able to give Ortiz and Guerrero a shot at Mayweather, but after Berto was TKO’d by Jesus Soto Karass, Golden must have realized that a Mayweather vs. Karass would be a hard fight to sell. Broner is good for only one more ticket for the Mayweather Show. So choose wisely Broner and help your big brother out by finding him a Mexican slugger instead, more recently he has had an appetite to fight these guys. It would be an easier sell for him for next year’s Cinco de Mayo since this year we have an Argentine.
