Adrien Broner vs Marcos Maidana: Who Wins?

[bojangles1987]

Maidana. I think people don't understand the magnitude of Broner's footwork liability. In general, I know people don't understand how important distance control and mobility are in boxing. Additionally, Broner has extreme difficulty letting his hands go in transition and on the inside. Broner is a sitting duck if there ever was one IMO. He'll be in a world of hurt against fighters like Maidana, Matthyyse, Garcia, Rios, Lopez and Alvarado. Broner's style is going to lead to a short career. Quote me.

I guess we would find out if Broner is only able to walk guys down against fighters like that. I still think he is fighting that way because he can, against guys that have no ability to hurt him.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt like I did to Canelo, but A-Wolf's point about distance is spot-on. Broner over-extended numerous times with his lead straight out of the peek-a-boo stance. He was also smothering himself on the inside. Part of that could be Paulie's movement and craftiness, and part of that could be Broner's lack of development when it comes to gauging distance properly. Broner isn't as complete as he thinks he is. He fights like he has Floyd's 72 inch reach.

El Chino stops him in 10. Take it to the bank.

WAR Maidana!

I think Broner stops Maidana, gonna bet on both by KO.

Broner wins in a FOTY candidate

Broner will dominate and maybe get a TKO late.

I'm voting my hope with Chino.

Though I'm thinking that:
40% chance for Chino by KO
40% Broner by UD
10% Broner by KO
9% Broner by Gift
1% Chino by Other

The good news for Chino is that he's recently decided to invest in picking up some boxing skills in his boxing career (though he still likes his KOs), he's still generally under rated, and his physique (midsection in particular) looks a little thicker and more robust these days. The bad news for The Problem is that he's not actually that other guy...

Broner will win the early rounds and Maidana will get stronger as the fight progresses. I am picking Maidana by late round knockout.

How can you gauge this fight and have a definitive answer on who wins? All I can say is this will end by KO either way. These guys are no clinchers and huggers. They want to kill each other. And since Maidana was the one who called out Broner, then that's the guy that could possibly win.

Forgot about this thread. It's funny looking at some of these responses.
