Adrien Broner (USA) vs Daniel Ponce de Leon (Mexico) | Boxing Fight Highlights HD

The undefeated, Adrian, The Problem, Champion of the World, Daniel Ponce. Mira, aqui esta bien. Right here is good. This is my commands. Touch gloves. God bless. Daniel Ponce de Leon, who made six successful defenses of his junior featherweight champion. LeBroner has the advantage in size, even Ponce de Leon. Look at the takes of Ponce de Leon. He said, he said, this is how he fights. Emotions, he said. Well, same way that you guys need to temper your emotions in meeting me. Ponce de Leon needs to make his seat. Ponce de Leon, Ponce de Leon trying to punch off the ropes. Here's some grainy photo. Is this how he fights for real? I mean, as though he's going to walk right through him. So we're going to see what things can happen. But I think he's all right in this one. With all that experience, Ponce de Leon has one round in the bank as far as studying what the young Broner has. Jab more and let his hands go a little bit more like his corner after him. He's the kind of thing I've ever seen besides Pernell Whitaker. So, so good at lightweight. But not after Ponce de Leon continues to wing that left hand to the body like right there. Right hand from Broner. So far, Ponce de Leon doing more damage with that left hand. The shots to the body just continually land. Yeah, that was a good left down the middle there, though. Ponce de Leon feels as though he can take these punches now. So he's willing to trade. Ponce de Leon has the experience factor, but he does have to let his hands go if he wants to take charge. Cincinnati, like New York City. He's making a good shot. Good hook by Broner. All right, Harold. Well, coming into this round, Broner had only thrown 40. This is not a guy who's not going to be throwing back, even though he is moving up in weight. Ponce de Leon has produced a lot of really good fighters and flashy fighters. And he'd get rolling over, popping up, and the referee had to get him off. 45 total punches in the first two rounds. Ponce de Leon told us during the fighter meeting... Ponce showing some veteran caginess. Ponce de Leon. But Broner just fights. Has yet to produce a great fighter in the last 10 or so years. That combination punching that Broner's not shown. The kick gets inside, and he digs that left hand hard. He's a real cagy man. One of the all-time greats was 32-0 after he knocked out... The first two-plus rounds. Yeah, he said it was going to be a very slippery step. That's what I call the Pacquiao effect. Pacquiao throws so many punches that he makes these guys keep their hands on. Got Alexis Arguello for the second time, and then had drug problems. Veteran, tough guy to fight, and Adrian Broner's going to have to get out. He keeps his hands at home for defense. That's why you tell a guy to try to get on first. See that? He makes the other guy keep his hands on. You know what separates the really special prospects? What are they? It's hard to get into the fight and make it an ugly fight, and it may not be a good night for Broner. Let's go to the body a little bit. Well, a young fighter has to learn to go to the body early on with an old captain. Not giving it to him. Constantino blocked that right hand. End of round. You know what I'm saying? Quit standing in front of him. You know what I'm saying? Balance. Move. You know what I'm saying? Punch on your aim. Step on his foot and bring that left hand side. He's going to fall. Step on his foot. They want him to use it as a tactic. And he's trying to use it. Sometimes the first round knockout happens because the guy's cold. He's more of home for defense. And that's what he's doing to Broner right now. The guy at this stage to start putting his punches together, 3 and 4. He's anything after round 3. But these feet are so close to each other. But here in Ponce de Leon's corner, you hear his weary arms up here. I think that Lopez showed in that fight early. That may have taken a little bit of effect. Trying to get his foot on the other guy's foot. Instead he had been ripping Broner to the body in the previous round. Yeah, he's... Just like that. Now he's fighting at his own pace. If he can fight at his pace, he can do this all night. Knocked out Ponce de Leon in one round. He's very fast. Ponce de Leon getting off first is forcing him to keep his head. Good body shot right there. Punches like that, when you stick a punch out, that's what makes a young guy scared to punch somebody. At his rhythm, it is very hard to beat him. Now Broner's in his own rhythm. It's almost impossible for him to punch him. Roy, do you think Bob mentioned... Broner's not going no more than one or two punches at a time. He's afraid of the shot that he may get caught with. Come as quick when you have to think. Wait, well, he can't out-think Broner because Broner's cheating. That's when Ponce de Leon lost his title. Get it right here, you'd be better off. But he's still throwing one. Ponce de Leon. See, Broner has all the tools, the speed. And, of course, Lopez is a different kind of fighter, more of a puncher. Much more confident Adrian Broner here in round 5. And see what Broner's doing to make up for that. Crisp boxing skills plus athleticism. Yeah, the tools are definitely there. Good scrap. Here you see Ponce de Leon purposely trying to step on Broner's toe to hold him still so that he can land the left hand like his corner asked him to do. That time, Broner stepped out of it and landed a counter right. I've got a 48-47, 3 rounds to 2, Daniel Ponce de Leon. Make things happen rather than just to sit back and wait to counter? Oh, most definitely. In the state boxing's end today, you got to inspire people. Had success in the first 3 rounds with body shots. Never sit up off the jab like that. See, he throws it first and then counters right away. The first 3 rounds where de Leon hit him with all the body shots. That's 3 straight right, 4 straight rights in a row. You got to do more than just win and move on, like what Canelo Alvarez has done here tonight, selling. Step up, therefore push your issue. Only can give him hope. He's smart. Most definitely. It's just that because Ponce de Leon is a lot smarter here. Broner tried to shoot that right hand just missed. Daniel Ponce de Leon threw 40 more punches in the round, although... And all that said, Roy, you evened 10,000 tickets, and Broner's not going to sell tickets doing this. No, he's not going to sell tickets doing this now. Even as he's coming forward. Good shot by Tosolio. Another one of those counter right hands scored, and Broner connects with a lead right. Even you who are defending him in this style would like to see him lead again. Now he's going to take a higher level of competition to make him step his game up even more, but he definitely has to get back in the fight. If it happens to him, then he looks like a total idiot. But, Roy, two things about that. One, as he fights him... That counter and get out of there. Leon goes back to the body. Broner with a body shot. That's where he'd be more busier at, and he's not being busy. Broner has landed many, many more of the clean, effective shots, particularly to the head in this fight. No knockdown so far in the fight. Ponce de Leon. That left hook is coming in. Bring your right hand up. It's good to hear that they've kind of cleared the air a little bit, Roy. Yes, it is. At the end of the day, you don't want to take any chances, but this is... What Broner's offering is, you know, isolated punches, not pitch better and better fighters, as you mentioned. Some of the success... Ponce de Leon is using those shots to make him keep his hands at home. Left hand to the body. The other thing you have to take into consideration is Ponce de Leon from the outside. He has to turn it into... Flip the scales here a little bit, because Broner has sort of seized... He has the game to step up. It's just that fighting another... Fighting a southpaw always makes it difficult. It just seems to me Broner's had more. Definitely does not have the handspeed factor here, but he's still landing big punches. This is a close fight. This is a very close fight, and at this point, he does have a ticket chance because de Leon has a lot of quality wins in his career. He did absolutely nothing. You know, Ponce de Leon took it to him. Adrian Broner just backed up, and that's how Adrian Broner's winning the fight. Look at that. Ponce de Leon went on the belt line. Broner's hooked to the body from Ponce de Leon. It's up to the judges, but in terms of just the kind of overall damage inflicted, it seems to many of the guys he fights that not give great action fights, give dominant performances. He's still hanging in the fight, and he's not getting caught with too many shots. He's the smaller... Backed up, backed up, and Ponce de Leon will score that left hand. Look at this. Ponce de Leon's willing to gamble and let it all go, because he's trying to win this fight. Having some moments right here. As we begin round number 9, let's welcome in our unofficial ringside scorer, Harold Dunneman. The success Ponce is having is because he's dictating the tempo at times, and by not leading, do that. But this is sort of no man's land. This is neither. Well, you know, like I said, when you fight a southpaw, it's a little different. And I think this is what, uh, Adrian has run into tonight. And here's the problem with Broner, as I see it at this point. I don't love Sam for Ponce de Leon. Daniel Ponce de Leon, the southpaw, had good success early in the fight with body punches. He had his way like he was going for those 3 rounds in a row. It was beautiful, but then he slacked off like Harold said. He's a playmate on that 8th round. I mean, this is a guy that won 4 rounds in a row. 76. All right, Harold. You know, Roy, that is the interesting aspect of all this. Ponce de Leon's fight, the crowd is rooting for Ponce de Leon's fight. And your muscle memory just won't be the same because you fight so many more right hands. But, Max, all those clean left hands to the body in the ring. Very well, de Leon. This is the first time Broner misses with those punches. Ponce de Leon goes to the body. End of 9. Don't follow him. Don't follow him in. Be careful. I know he wild. He awkward. But give you the dance. 211 more punches through the first 9 rounds of this 10-round fight. But you saw Ponce de Leon answer with 4 carats. That's the bare point. This kind of awkward Ponce de Leon style. No, Roy, it's funny. Broner worried about getting the body in the early parts of the fight. They count. It's not that de Leon hasn't had many moments. It's just... Of a former champion, a guy that made 6 defenses. Roy, it's not something you luck into. What Broner is offering is not what the crowd is rooting for. And he's thrown twice as many punches as Broner. That's the former junior featherweight champion moving up from 126. Ponce de Leon steps in with a combination. Constructing both. But, Roy, you know, you think about those first... If that man wins, he had to beat somebody. Right hand from Broner. Accidental clash of heads, as referee Ray Corona. This is why I don't watch many tape-throw fighters because sometimes... A counter doesn't let his hands go, and as a result, he gets hit more than he should. Sometimes. And his only two losses is to Juan Manuel Lopez. Fans in Anaheim think so. Ladies and gentlemen, from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, we go to the scorecards and all three for the winner by unanimous decision, the Cincinnati Kid, Adrian The Problem!
