Broner: After I F*** Maidana Up, He'll Speak English

•Nov 1, 2013

WBA welterweight champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner promised to unlease pain and punishment in his first defense of the title against Marcos “El Chino” Maidana on December 14. Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) vs. Maidana (34-3, 31 KO’s) will headline a Showtime televised quadrupleheader from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Broner jumped from lightweight to the welterweight division in June, and won a close twelve round split decision over Paulie Malignaggi to capture the WBA crown. At the time of the Malignaggi win, Broner was still the WBC's champion at 135-pounds.

Top contender Marcos Maidana is looking to punish WBA welterweight champion Andrien Broner for all of his trash talk in the recent weeks.

Broner-Maidana will headline a Showtime televised quadrupleheader. Maidana is now trained by veteran coach Robert Garcia of Oxnard, California. The Argentine puncher plans to have the perfect game place to take away Broner's title and his undefeated record. “This is a fight I wanted. I wanted to fight the best, the champion. And Adrien Broner is the champion so I am going to come prepared. I am very enthused. This is for the championship of the world. I am going to win. I am focused and will be 1000% ready," Maidana said.

SAN ANTONIO - WBA Welterweight Champion Adrien "The Problem" Broner and former WBA Junior Welterweight Champion Marcos "El Chino" Maidana are no strangers to facing the most feared competitors in the sport of boxing. On Saturday, Dec. 14, in a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® mega-bout to air live from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, the bold and brash Broner and the punching powerhouse Maidana will enter the DANGER ZONE like never before, with "The Problem" defending his title against the Argentine knockout artist determined to wrap championship gold around his waist once again. Who will emerge from the DANGER ZONE unscathed? Will it be the fast and precise Broner or the aggressive and powerful Maidana? The world will find out on Dec. 14. "Maidana is one-dimensional and not in my league," said Broner. "I'm a Ferrari and he's a go-kart and my fans will see that in my return to Texas. It's been over four years since I've fought there and I'm going to put on a show. Watch me light Maidana up like a Christmas tree on Dec. 14."

The Adrien Broner-Marcos Maidana fight may have been moved to San Antonio but the matchup still remains one of the more intriguing bouts this year. This will definitely be one of Broner’s biggest tests and this will be Maidana’s opportunity to fight for a world title in the Welterweight division. Before the fight was even officially announced, Broner and Maidana ran into each other in Las Vegas during the Floyd Mayweather-Saul Alvarez fight week. There was a confrontation where things got a little physical and there was reported pushing and shoving . When BoxingScene spoke to Maidana after a hard workout in Oxnard, he was asked if he felt what happened in Las Vegas was an indication of what we would see in the days leading up to this fight or if he’d simply ignore Broner from here on in.

Brook Eyes Broner: He Pretends To Be What He's Not!

Kell Brook has drawn up a three-man hitlist as he looks to move into boxing superstardom following his emphatic win over Vyacheslav Senchenko. The unbeaten Sheffield welterweight is eager to square off with either domestic rival Amir Khan, IBF world champion Devon Alexander or American star Adrien Broner in the next six months. Brook, who has been on the verge of a world title shot for the last year, underlined his credentials with a fourth-round stoppage of Ricky Hatton's conqueror Senchenko in Sheffield on Saturday. Now he wants to finally nail down a shot at Alexander at the fourth time of asking following three postponed match-ups due to injuries. However, the Yorkshireman would be equally happy with lucrative, high-profile showdowns with long-standing rival Khan or up-and-coming Broner.

As reported earlier on BoxingScene.com, the anticipated Dec. 14 pay-per-view headlined by Adrien Broner and Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas will now be taking place on regular Showtime, broadcast out of the Alamodome on San Antonio, Texas. The announcement was made Oct. 26 by Stephen Espinoza of Showtime and Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions, part of a big move of fights from card to card. The Nov. 30 show in Texas featuring Devon Alexander vs. Shawn Porter and Leo Santa Cruz vs. Cesar Seda will no longer be happening. Both bouts have been rescheduled. Alexander-Porter will instead wind up on Dec. 7 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., joining the headline of Zab Judah vs. Paulie Malignaggi and undercard bouts of Erislandy Lara vs. Austin Trout and Sakio Bika vs. Anthony Dirrell.

With his proposed fight with Adrien Broner a little under 2 months away, Marcos “Chino” Maidana has already been training for 3 weeks in Oxnard with trainer Robert Garcia. Maidana will try to capture his first world title in the Welterweight division and hand Broner his first loss in the process when they face off December 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. Broner is one of boxing’s fastest rising stars and has already secured three world titles in three different weight classes. He even jumped up two weight classes to capture the same title he will be defending against Maidana when he beat Paulie Malignaggi this past June. Despite his current accomplishments, Maidana feels Broner still has not fought enough top level competition to prepare for the best fighters.
