Tito Bracero versus Adrien Broner Welterweight Dream Fight
By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent
Tommy Gallagher, Gabriel ‘Tito’ Bracero’s trainer, should consider this. A dream matchup between his welterweight prospect Bracero and loud talking Adrien Broner.
Both fighters were recently arrested: Bracero for a fight with a NYPD sergeant during a traffic stop; and Broner for a fight with a man outside a Cincinnati bowling alley. Both fighters, it should be noted, are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
In the meanwhile, instead of both careers being forced in the ‘stall’ mode, Bracero and Broner could fight each other on television. It would be a great fight, with Bracero outpointing Broner technically with his furious jab, while Broner could break down Bracero with a consistent attack of head and body power shots.
Bracero, 24-2 with five knockouts, Brooklyn, New York, is coming off a first round knockout win over Danny O’Connor. Broner, 32-2 with 24 knockouts, Cincinnati, Ohio, is coming off a ninth round stoppage of Ashley Theophane in a WBA Super Lightweight world title bout in which he weighed in over the limit, and lost his title.
Since both fighters are welterweights, and have careers in legal crossroads, this would be the ultimate stay busy fight. In this case, the fighter in the best emotional shape will be the decided winner, whoever can put themselves together in the best way first. Bracero cannot hit hard. Bracero is a far superior technical fighter in the mold of a Marcos Rene Maidana.
Broner has a ‘cure for all’ approach He is a hard hitter who can take you out at any time. As evidence, Broner dropped Shawn Porter in the twelfth and final round of their bout.
Keith Thurman versus Shawn Porter is on the table for Barclays Center on June 25, 2016. How electric it would be if Tito Bracero and Adrien Broner fought each other in a 12 rounder on the undercard. This reporter thinks it would be a great matchup. Much like Muhammad Ali, Broner will probably sell tickets, and win this fight with his big mouth.
