OVER RATED OR UNDER RATED? CHAMP OR CHUMP? SHOULD HIS RANT ABOUT MEXI CAN BE MAGNIFIED?





   So.......as I watched the pay per view card last Saturday and finally got to see Broner in real action and not the videos from websites of the glitz and glamour I wasn't really impressed. To me if your going to speak as If you're the best in the business you have to show that you're the best in the business. Molina was no where near the caliber fighter of Maidana and he was able to do his antics and get away with it. 
    
      The Maidana fight exposed Broners non-defensive side of boxing and showed that when you have a legit opponent you need to focus in on the task at hand. Broner tries to display flashes of Mayweather by how he acts outside of the ring but even in the midst of flashing cash, cars and his expensive lifestyle Mayweather shows his work ethic and backs up his talk with all opponents. Does Broner have the talent? Yes Does he needs to reverse his style of boxing by producing and actually fighting before bragging? Yes. While watching some of Mayweathers showtime videos after the Broner vs. Maidana fight him and his uncle stated that Broner need to focus more on his craft than partying and doing videos for the public to see. 

    Saturdays post fight interview was a colorful one that everyone probably figured it would be. After a longggggg week of hearing all the details from the Donald Sterling incident and athletes backing the Clippers players for justice for them Broner comes along and in my eyes throws a speed bump in the mix. To me it seems that African-Americans put caps on other races for be racially bias to our culture but feel that we can open the flood gates on other races and not be scrutinized. I know the time period of slavery was devastating but other races have had some pretty major situations throughout history and in the present. When Broner began going through his chant and stated who he could beat "Afri-cans and he beat the F*^% out of a Mexi-can" it made me wonder if he could handle being amongst the champions that proceed him such as Mayweather and many more. I don't believe Broner understand that it's more than just flashing money, cars, girls and clothes but once he decided to step in the spotlight that he's in all rules change. If other races have to make sure they think before speaking why shouldn't he? or other African-American athletes?
