WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 22KOs) says his performance against Marcos Maidana (34-3, 31KOs) will be far different than his welterweight debut from this past June, when he fought to a twelve round split decision win over Paulie Malignaggi at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The fight with Maidana will take place on December 14th at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
"Paulie, he’s a hell of fighter. He’s a hell of a fighter. He’s more difficult than any opponent I ever fought. I give him that, but December 14th, man, you’ll see a different Adrien Broner, just like every fight, I’m going to give you something different," Broner said.
"I don’t go up to a fight looking for the knockout. If the knockout presents itself, then you know I got to take it. But, I’m going to go in there focused and once he shows me what he brings to the table, I’m going to do what I got to do to get my victory. I can tell you one thing, that guy better be prepared. I just hope he’s in shape and he’s ready to fight to death the 12 rounds."
