But what is the root cause of Broner not throwing? That is the question. We can't just say that he's great when he throws, so he just needs to throw more. I think he does not throw more for a reason.
Specifically, Broner has bad defense and mediocre cardio. When Broner throws, he eats huge punches. That is consistent across every single Broner fight too, he is not a guy who can be offensive and defensive at the same time. He's either attacking well but getting hit, or defending well and not throwing any punches.
If Broner goes out and lets his hands go right from the start, he knows he's going to take a beating and likely gas out. He does not have the heart take that beating. He even admitted after the Maidana fight that he would never allow himself to have a hard fight like that again.
So he hardly throws any punches, gives the first half of the fight away, then comes on strong at the end and loses by decision. He's been doing that for years now against top competition.
