Broner-DeMarco

Broner pulling the race card

Image: Broner pulling the race cardBy Duke Pahulu: Adrien Broner alluded on RingTV.com that he doesn’t get the credit he deserves because he’s African American. The truth of the matter is that he doesn’t get the credit because he hasn’t faced or beaten a legit threat in his career yet. Before signing up to face Antonio DeMarco, Broner was on the same boat as Saul Alvarez in that the resume doesn’t matchup with the hype.

Up to this point, Broner’s best opponent was Daniel Ponce de Leon who just won a featherweight title and only fought at 130 once against Broner. And Broner looked rather pedestrian in the fight that many thought Ponce De Leon won. Broner failed to take advantage of a weak 130 division by not facing the likes of Takashi Uchiyama, Juan Carlos Salgado, Takahiro Ao or Roman Martinez.

Image: Shaw: DeMarco is a major step up in class for Adrien BronerBy Scott Gilfoid: Gary Shaw, the promoter for WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s), thinks that former WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) will be taking a huge step up in class when he fights DeMarco for his World Boxing Council strap on HBO on November 17th at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Shaw said to RingTV “For Broner, this is a major step up, because DeMarco has been in thee with [Edwin] Valero and [Jorge] Linares…DeMarco is a tremendous puncher. So if DeMarco hurts Adrien Broner at all, then he knows how to finish him.”

Image: A win for Broner over DeMarco will establish him as the top fighter at lightweightBy Scott Gilfoid: The talented former WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) is only one victory away from establishing himself as the best lightweight in the division if the 23-year-old Broner can get past WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) on November 17th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

DeMarco, 26, has already shown recently with wins over Jorge Linares, Miguel Roman and John Molina that he’s the class of the entire lightweight division.

Broner vs. DeMarco on November 17th on HBO

Image: Broner vs. DeMarco on November 17th on HBOBy Dan Ambrose: In the latest boxing news, Dan Rafael of ESPN is reporting that the talked about fight between WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) and former WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) is a done deal for November 17th in an HBO televised fight at a still to be determined venue in the United States.

This is sensational because these two fighters – DeMarco and Broner – are arguably the two best lightweights in the division right now. I know some boxing fans might think that WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns and IBF champion Miguel Vazquez deserve to have their names up there as well, but I certainly don’t.

Image: Broner to face DeMarco on November 17th on HBO - Breaking News!By Eric Thomas: Former WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) will be moving up in weight to challenge WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KO’s) on November 17th, according to Fightnews.com. The fight will be televised by HBO, possibly in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

DeMarco, 26, is coming off of a 1st round knockout victory over fringe contender John Molina last Saturday night on September 8th. DeMarco hurt Molina with a straight left to the head and then flurried on him until the referee stopped the fight with Molina hung up on the ropes like a giant fly stuck in a spiderweb. That was DeMarco’s second defense of his World Boxing Council 135 pound title.

De La Hoya said on his twitter “DeMarco vs. Broner.”

Why Antonio DeMarco would be a test for Adrien Broner

Image: Why Antonio DeMarco would be a test for Adrien BronerBy Hector Gonzalez: Adrien Broner defeated Vincente Escobedo this weekend, although Broner won the fight in spectacular fashion, his victory also raised some eyebrows. Broner walked in 143.5 pounds on Saturday morning and walking in at 147 during the fight. The question that needs to be asked is, “Is Broner simply to big for the 130 division or did he need the extra weight in order to dominate Escobedo?“ It’s a fair question. Here are some thoughts.
