Who wins this clash of the 'slicksters'?

Abril has a better win in Rios, but Broner just dominated a very good DeMarco. Would Abril be able to spoil up close and get his own punches home? Or do Broner's faster hands find the target at middle range?

 

[JamieC]

Abril for me, i think he does enough, like you said on twitter he could actually be less active than Broner, but i still think he's a better rounded fighter and his fundamental skills would show here, he'd be too much for Broner

 

[dftaylor]

The better question is who loses. The answer is the fans. It would be ugly to watch. Broner only looked so good because DeMarco did nothing to stop him.

No offense but read that back without laughing at what you wrote. The irony is fucking hilarious.

So the two top fighters of the division teeing off is a loser for the fans who so far have been treated to such classics as Burns v Evensen/Laryea/Cook/Moses.

This fight could easily mold into a good one. It'll be good to see if Broner can evade long punches and cutely work his way close enough to get in. Will be good test for both and the best fight in the division. Much better than seeing Burns fight Liam Walsh who has proved little.

The fans are winning if we get this fight. Boxing needs good fights and this is one. If you disagree I suggest you go and watch Burns v Cook, what a fucking classic that was.

 

[Holmes]

To answer thread question. Broner by UD. I'll go for a 8-4/7-5 type card.

 

[SimonTemplar]

Broner beats Abril for me, and looks good doing it, PTS or late stoppage. He calls himself The Problem but I think he also seems like a guy who has The Answer, I think he'd figure out anyone you put in front of him around this weight, weigh them up for a few rounds and then put it on them.

 

[Ilesey]

Agree with the handsome gentleman above.

Broner would win this and look good in doing so. A clear UD.

Huh? It was obviously a joke, get off your high horse sweetums. But the other point is true - it would be a tedious fight to watch. Abril is a good fighter but he's also a bit of a spoiler and Broner has only looked good against straight ahead guys so far. That's a fact.

Anyway, what the fuck has Burns got to do with this? Don't put words in my mouth, I'll just spit them back at you. I don't care for the soft defences Burns has taken, I certainly didn't cry for his awful SFW reign to continue. So I don't see why you'd bring it up. Idiot.

I'm allowed to think a fight will be boring, yes? So go fuck yourself. I''ve had a shit day and I don't need some nippy cunt whining because I don't share his world view.

(I also realise this is a completely disproportionate response, but you were being a cunt and I'm mostly trying to amuse myself)

(I also quite like writing cunt. Cunt)

I've also had the shittest of shit days.

I thought I'd written a £400 per month life insurance policy for a Client and he's only gone and got himself made redundant.

Retirement fund would have been topping up nicely.

I feel your pain, brother.

I'm currently dealing with a client who thinks that spending £10,000 on a four minute video saying how great off-shoring is for the business is the right message to give to the people whose teams just got decimated by redundancies. And what made them possible? The off-shoring. Between that and a manager who seems incapable of telling the client that it's a bad idea and leaving me the sole voice of reason, that would be bad enough.

But now they've left me to sort out the fucking organisation and coordination of film crew, producer and in-country team, and then the client starts demanding we get all the filming done by the end of the week, with a first cut for review on Monday next week. Apparently they think you can "just email" 150GB of raw footage from India to the UK. And pointing out the simple impossibility of this, along with the costs of Fed-Ex'ing 48hr expedited, or even just editing the fucking thing by Monday leads to the stupid fuck saying "David, I don't want excuses, I just want you to do it."

WELL MOTHERFUCKER, I CANNOT REWRITE SIMPLE RULES OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND HOW DATA TRAVELS OR THE TIME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTINENTS. IT'S NOT AN EXCUSE, IT'S A FUCKING REALITY!

You need a bit more of a 'can do' attitude, Dave.

 

[Libertarian]

Hmm.... at least I don't have to answer to anyone, I've just ''lost'' nearly five grand in earnings. Back to the drawing board I go.

Barclays have outsourced all their mortgage underwriting to India. Of all the things to out-source too :-(

''Mr Sinininior... your crient Mitar Waller has andicosed cradit commeetament.... what is dis £549?''

The £549 is the total of his and his wife's car loans, together with personal loans for his and his wife's cars and their new windows. Daft twat thinks the £549 is something else.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Hope you feel better for all that.

Never the less you're wrong. Fans can't lose in a bout which features the two best teeing off. Many rate Hopkins yet I find his 'recent' bouts a cure for insomnia. Still I don't say fans lose when he fights.

Burns needs a step up and its this. He's ducked Broker once and its due time that he steps up in a fight like this. I hope he pulls it off I really do.
