Adrien Broner learned a valuable lesson about putting his punches together and not letting a less-skilled fighter hang around. Before the fight, Broner badmouthed Daniel Ponce de Leon's boxing ability, but he found out why the Mexican is a former world champion. Ponce de Leon (41-3, 34 KOs) was the more active fighter throughout, but fell just short on two scorecards. Broner avoided the upset by taking a unanimous decision, 96-94, 96-94 and 99-91, at the Honda Center in Anaheim. HBO's ringside judge Harold Lederman scored it a draw. The punch stats were virtually dead even, although Broner was the much more accurate fighter. Ponce de Leon outlanded Broner 127-126, but he also threw 241 more punches. Broner (20-0, 16 KOs) picks up the WBA junior lightweight Intercontinental title at the age of 20. Read more: http://sports.yahoo.com/box/blog/bo...ce-de-Leon-in-decision-victory?urn=box-330201
