By Scott Gilfoid: This Saturday night on HBO in an card packed with two good fights, unbeaten Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) will be looking to prove his worth against WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-1-1, 18 KO’s). Also on the card will be unbeaten heavyweight contender Seth Mitchell (25-0-1, 19 KO’s) will be fighting Johnathon Banks (28-1-1, 18 KO’s) at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.
Broner, 23, is the real story on this card because he’s on the verge of becoming a huge bankable pay per view star that could potentially rival the fading stars Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. Broner is pretty much the replacement for those guys and he could be the guy that be the biggest PPV attraction in the U.S in a very short period of time. There is perhaps one competitor and that’s WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez who could be an even bigger PPV star than Broner, but the jury is still out on Alvarez because his fights aren’t all that exiting due to his flat-footed, slow pace of fighting and his unassuming personality.
