By Scott Gilfoid: WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) thinks WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns (35-2, 10 KO’s) is doing to the smart thing by choosing not to fight him despite having had an opportunity to fight him twice. Broner says he totally understands Burns’ situation, and he thinks he’s doing a good job fighting the kinds of guys he’s being matched up with right now.
Broner said to thaboxingvoice.com “Who WOULD want to fight me? I don’t blame him [Burns]. He’s doing good, he’s doing alright. Just stay away from me [if you want to keep doing good].”
I agree with Broner. Burns needs to stay far, far away from Broner if he wants to keep doing good. Broner is arguably a level above Burns in talent, and there’s not much in Burns’ game that Broner wouldn’t have an answer for.

Watt thinks Rees is good at dealing with bigger fighters, and giving them problems with his heavy pressure. Rees and Broner are both the same size in this fight at 5’7”.

Broner looks up to Mayweather in a big way, and he would never seek out a fight with him even though it would create huge, huge money. It might soon even eclipse the money that Mayweather Jr. could get against Manny Pacquiao if Pacquiao keeps losing.

(Rich Kane – Hoganphotos/Golden Boy Promotions) Adrien Broner has to be respected, his style in the ring is top notch. The defensive style he uses with the speed and power behind it is a joy to watch. The “new Mayweather” even boxes like the pretty boy and tries to talk like him outside the ring. So far in his career he has 25 fights with 21 knock-outs and no losses.

By Scott Gilfoid: Gavin Rees (37-1-1, 18 KO’s) has reportedly said that he won’t stand in front of WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) on Saturday night to make things easier on him.

DeMarco stood in front of Broner, and Hearn and Rees both think this was the wrong way to fight Broner.
