By Scott Gilfoid: If former WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) is giving an appearance that he’s looking past his November 17th fight against WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s), it’s because the 23-year-old Broner realizes what his own talent level is. He knows the skinny DeMarco isn’t in his league and will get battered and bruised on November 17th when they battle at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.
Broner has bigger things to fry than wasting his time worrying himself sick for a guy that’s clearly below him like DeMarco. There’s no worry because Broner has two eyes and he’s seen DeMarco get exposed and stopped by Edwin Valero, Broner has seen how much punishment that DeMarco took in beating Jorge Linares. DeMarco was like a punching bag in that fight, and had Linares had even a slight amount of power going for him he would have stopped DeMarco inside the distance instead of losing the fight himself.
Broner is on to bigger and better things once he destroys DeMarco. Broner will of course put forth a token effort to get the fight with WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns after the fight, but as soon as he sees that there’s no sale coming from Burns, Broner is going to be off to accomplish bigger things by beating the top guys at light welterweight and then moving up to welterweight to get the top straps.
Believe me, Burns will be sorry he chose not to fight Broner after Broner turns into a mega star. We’ll then likely see a lot of interest from Burns to fight him, but my guess is Broner will ignore him and focus on fighting the top guys at 147 and even 154 as he takes over the reigns left behind by Floyd Mayweather Jr’s absence.
Broner is going to really punish DeMarco int his fight and give him a beating before this bout is stopped. DeMarco doesn’t believe in quitting and he seems to have a good chin, but that only means he’s going to end up taking a bad beating in this fight from Broner.
