Browne better stay away from the sausage rolls 10
Mins before he fights or he’ll end up on his back again.
Lucas Browne needs to give it up and walk away before he ends up being fed through a tube in an extended care facility. After watching Browne fight in the past it’s quite obvious he struggles with balance and keeping his “lug” of a body synchronized with most boxing basics in regards to an effective offense. That being said, his advancing age does not favor him in improving at this point! Give it up and walk away for your own safety!
Browne was a pretty good fighter on those PED laced energy drinks. Now he is terrible and too old.
Hardman is fun to watch, hope the Zerafa fight isnt too far off
