I just had a funny feeling when the UD was read out that they was going to rob him, like they did with Malignaggi. But I was ecstatic when "The New" was read out
I wasn't surprised because I believe Broner's handler actually wanted him to lose in the near future; unlike Canelo, Broner seems like an incredibly difficult character to manage. Continuously winning and stronger Mayweather comparisons would only inflate his ego further. This loss has dragged him right back to Earth; placing him in a position where he will be dependent on the generosity of GBP for the foreseeable future.
Everyone felt it that way. I think even Maidana felt that way because he was saying before the fight that he need knockout Broner to get the win, otherwise he won't.

they tried but broner didnt do enough on his part, it was obvious they would have robbed midana if they could
I thought early in the fight when Paulie had it 57-57 through 6, I was thinking oh no cause usually Paulie calls a good fight, and the real judges had it the same. I like how Brian Kenny called out all 3 on their score cards. I had it 4-2 with a knock down for Marcos glad they scored it right.
and that was the last time they showed the commentators' score card. I thought maidana would be robbed with a draw decision, but when they announced that was an unanimous. I knew they got it right.
Once they said UD I knew Maidana would get the nod. To be honest, Broner wasn't even throwing enough punches to make it possible to give him the decision.
When I heard "we have unanimous decision", I knew Maidana had it, but some posters had me worried in the RBR thread.
If they would've robbed him, boxing would've taken a huge hit.
Although Maidana was the clear winner...i thought he was going to get robbed. It was a reflief when i heard the first judges scorecard read-out.
I thought the ref was poor also. Broner was forearms and pushes all-night. He warned Broner plenty of times but there was never any chance he was going to take a point.
All the way until I heard the first score. When I heard that margin, I knew Maidana had won.
Yep, same here. There's no logical way any of those scores could have been for Broner. So hearing that first score reassured me. Until then thoug I had a horrible feeling it was going to be given a draw
