  • When it comes to weight classes, looks are deceiving.

    Listen yall, just because a fighter looks all muscled it doesn't mean that he's 'the bigger guy'. Case in point, Maidana/Broner. Broner is bulked up to make 147, all that soft tissue aka muscle is needed for him to make the weight, Maidana is a skin and bone 147lber, he makes the weight through his natural frame, aka his bone structure. Also Berto too, Berto would be better off if he fought at 140, anyone who can afford to have all that muscle on their frame to make 147 needs to move down.

    I'm not 100% that Broner's power will carry well into 147, I still think he hits hard but it won't be as vicious as when he was at 135 as he doesn't have that functional weight advantage.

      No crap, that's why he fought Paulie.

      It's sad when a guy like Guerrero can move up and get a chance to fight the P4P #1 fighter in boxing.

      That's how sad this era is.

              Maidana is going to be the bigger man in that ring. He's also going to be the bigger puncher. I don't know how long Broner will be able to do his Mayweather impression before he starts getting tagged by Maidana with some serious power shots.

                Tru dat, but it doesn't mean it would be his best weight class. His frame is best suited for 140. This is why fighters avoid weights, because it messes with their 'weight' ie makes them gain weight, depending on genetics, some people tend to gain a lot of weight when lifting as their body responds to weight lifting very well. This is why fighters should exclusively train for 'strength' i.e when lifting, low reps, high weight.

                  Probably not holmes, but I dislike Ward so I hope he loses

                    Maidana has a good chance at the upset but he must not underestimate Broner's speed and power. He needs to focus on high volume punching and sticking the jab out to set up that monstrous straight right that he has. Broner looks in poor condition, this might be his wake up call where he gets WorldStar'd.
