What next for Mikey Garcia, Adrien Broner?

Mikey Garcia once again showed his class and talent in dominating Adrien Broner. The unbeaten star who has won titles at three different weights looked great fighting as a 140-pounder. Broner, who once again promised so much, failed to deliver. But this was largely down to the simple fact that Garcia, now 37-0(30) didn’t allow Broner to do much of anything apart from talk (both before, during and even after the fight).

After losing for the third time in his career, Broner vowed to come back and win another belt, but his defiance doesn’t look like it will be matched with actions. Broner, a good fighter once seemingly capable of achieving greatness or something close to it, looks to be done at elite level. As for Garcia, he has an absolute ton of options; as he made clear when speaking after his unanimous decision victory.

Broner says Garcia “quit” in Orlando Salido fight, says Salido “should’ve won that fight”

Broner says Garcia “quit” in Orlando Salido fight, says Salido “should've won that fight”

The only thing close to a blemish on the 36-0 record of Mikey Garcia came in his 2013 technical decision win over ultra-tough Mexican warrior Orlando Salido. Then fighting down at featherweight and challenging Salido for the WBO belt, Garcia knocked Salido down four times, before “Siri” came back, and then came on.

A clash of heads saw Garcia, then 30-0, suffer a badly busted nose, and the fight was stopped with the TD victory going the Californian’s way. Salido, his supporters claim, might have finished strong enough to have won the January 2013 battle; maybe even by stoppage.

Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia: Substance Will Standout

This Saturday night live on Showtime, Adrien Broner meets Mikey Garcia in the main event from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Even without a title on the line the stakes remain high based off the accomplishments of both men. Showtime will also be live-streaming the undercard via Facebook & Youtube, 3 fights in total including unbeaten heavyweight Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller versus one-loss Gerald Washington.

Let’s start at the top of the bill with a very intriguing matchup between Mikey Garcia 36-0, (30KO’s) and Adrien Broner, who hasn’t lost a fight under the welterweight limit. In fact the weight of 140 pounds is a good item to focus on for two main reasons.

Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia – Who is going in the clubhouse?

Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia – Who is going in the clubhouse?

Adrien Broner meets Mikey Garcia this Saturday night on SHOWTIME in what could be the best fight this year. This is a fight of a 3-weight world champion against a 4-weight world champion. The last time this type of thing happened was Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. With that in mind, this fight probably deserves more hype than it has gotten.

Is Adrien Broner back at the right weight? Hopefully tomorrow we will see AB make weight and get back down to a weight in which we will see his skill-set and strength reveal itself once again.

Overwhelming majority of fight experts picking Garcia big over Broner; can “The Problem” silence his critics?

Overwhelming majority of fight experts picking Garcia big over Broner; can “The Problem” silence his critics?

Adrien Broner will certainly be proving a lot of people wrong if he can do as he says he will, and beat Mikey Garcia on Saturday night. Arguably the hottest fight of the summer period (when boxing’s calendar is usually pretty empty, admittedly) the 140 pound clash has got plenty of people talking.

Garcia is the favourite in both senses: fans want and are rooting for him to win, and he is the betting favourite. Broner will likely be greeted to more than a few boos when the action starts, and he knows it. But Broner appears to be extremely focused, perhaps more so than at any time in is largely successful and exciting career.
