Broner to prove that he’s on another level than DeMarco

Image: Broner to prove that he's on another level than DeMarcoBy Eric Thomas: Former WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) exudes nothing but confidence as he heads into his November 17th fight against WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA. While the 23-year-old Broner respects the 26-year-old DeMarco as a fighter, he doesn’t for a second see him as his equal inside the ring or even close to being his equal. He simply sees it as a mismatch.

Broner said to RingTV “It doesn’t matter what he [DeMarco] comes with. I’m just at another level. I don’t see this guy really doing too much.”

DeMarco a good test for Broner

Image: DeMarco a good test for BronerBy Sean McDaniel: In less than two weeks time unbeaten former WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) will be stepping up in weight to face his biggest test of his four-year pro career against WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.

This fight will tell us where the 23-year-old Broner is in the talent department and whether he’ll be able to make the same kind of mark at lightweight that he did at super featherweight. At his old weight Broner had a size advantage against most if not all of his opposition. In moving up in weight to the 135 lb division, Broner may not be able to crush his opposition by weight alone like he’d been doing at super featherweight.

Broner-DeMarco still looking good for Atlantic City on November 17th

Image: Broner-DeMarco still looking good for Atlantic City on November 17thBy Sean McDaniel: Despite Atlantic City being badly damaged by the recent hurricane Sandy that hit the area it won’t have an affect on the scheduled November 17th fight between WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) and challenger Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s), according to RingTV.

Their HBO televised, Golden Boy Promotions promoted fight will still go ahead for the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA. The main negative that we may see from this, however, is that the turnout might be lower than what it would have been because many people in the surrounding area are still trying to put their lives back together following the huge hurricane.

Broner wants Ricky Burns after he takes care of DeMarco

Image: Broner wants Ricky Burns after he takes care of DeMarcoBy Scott Gilfoid: Before Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) moves up in weight to light welterweight to look for bigger fights, he’s going to be looking to snatch WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns’ strap as soon as the 23-year-old Broner defeats WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) next month on November 17th at the Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.

Broner’s trainer Mike Stafford said to Bleacherreport.com “We’ll go to Ricky Burns and get that other title. He’ll [Adrien Broner] be too fast, too smart and he’s [Burns] not strong enough, these guys are too slow for Adrien.”

Broner vs. DeMarco: Adrien ready to give a Mayweather-eque performance

Image: Broner vs. DeMarco: Adrien ready to give a Mayweather-eque performanceBy Scott Gilfoid: Boxing may not have Floyd Mayweather Jr. in action that much nowadays, but fans will get an opportunity to see Mayweather clone Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) fighting next month against WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) on HBO on November 17th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Broner, 23, can do everything pretty much that Mayweather can do, but with a much cheaper price tag given that Broner’s fights aren’t yet on expensive $49.95 pay per view cards like Mayweather’s. That’s likely to change in the very near future if Broner keeps destroying his opponents one after another and bringing in huge ratings for HBO.

DeMarco: I can stop Adrien Broner

Image: DeMarco: I can stop Adrien BronerBy Scott Gilfoid: WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) thinks he’s got the power and the skills to beat undefeated Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) next month in their important HBO televised fight at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA. DeMarco, 5’10”, thinks he has the power to hand the 23-year-old Broner his first loss of his four-year pro career.

DeMarco said to Fighthype.com “I have the capacity to stop Broner, mentally and physically…If he doesn’t make the weight, then there is no fight.”

Kellerman: Broner should be top 10 pound for pound if he dominates DeMarco

Image: Kellerman: Broner should be top 10 pound for pound if he dominates DeMarcoBy Scott Gilfoid: If Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) can destroy WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) next month on November 17th, HBO’s Max Kellerman feels that the 23-year-old Broner will be ready to break the top 10 pound for pound lists in boxing. I completely agree with Kellerman. A great win over the tough as nails DeMarco should put Broner in the top 10, although I doubt that will happen.

Kellerman told Thaboxingvoice.com “If he [Broner] dominates DeMarco, that’s a real bold statement. To me, he jumps to the top ten on many pound for pound lists as many expect he will end up anyway.”

Broner-DeMarco: Antonio is going to need to be special to beat Adrien

Image: Broner-DeMarco: Antonio is going to need to be special to beat AdrienBy Eric Thomas: WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) is coming into his November 17th fight against Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) as the champion but he might as well be the challenger when the two fighters meet up at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA. Broner is clearly the more talented fighter of the two, the bigger puncher, the faster faster and the better guy defensively.

The only real thing that DeMarco has going for him in this fight is his 5’10” height, which will give him a three inch height advantage over the 5’7″ Broner. That’s not enough, though. That’s a good thing to have, don’t get me wrong, but DeMarco’s reach is the exact same as Broner’s, and that means that Broner will have no problems landing his shots against the taller DeMarco.

Broner to take his career to the next level against DeMarco

By Scott Gilfoid: A nice win over WBC lightweight world champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 20 KO’s) will catapult unbeaten Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) into super stardom in their fight on November 17th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This fight is what Broner needs to turn him into a regular HBO fighter to an HBO pay per view fighter where he’s getting the same kinds of cash that bigger stars like Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto are already enjoying.

Broner’s last fight against Vicente Escobedo brought in huge rating numbers for HBO last July, proving that Broner has the popularity to attracts fans in high numbers.

Broner interested in fighting Rios or Alvarado after he beats DeMarco next month

Image: Broner interested in fighting Rios or Alvarado after he beats DeMarco next monthBy Scott Gilfoid: Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) doesn’t want to be constricted to the lightweight division after he destroys WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) next month on November 17th at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA. Broner, 23, says he’s interested in fighting from lightweight all the way up to junior middleweight in order to get the biggest fights possible.

While Broner has only been a pro for the last four years, Broner is already on the verge of becoming the next pay per view star for HBO. His last fight against Vicente Escobedo hauled in 1.4 million viewers on HBO, the high for Boxing After Dark for the year. Those kinds of stats are usually reserved for PPV stars and you have to figure the fans that tuned in for that fight were fans of Broner more so than Escobedo.
