Comments Thread For: Maidana: A Tough Fight, But I Can Knock Broner Out!

[FromBA]

Broner can win this fight easily if he keeps covered with his gloves and repeatedly hits chino with his tongue.

You can See it was hard for malinaggi to land a "decent" punch on broner, Chino is not a better boxer than malinaggi he just hits harder. How will chino land "decent" punch on broner without being ripped to the body first. All Arms, shoulders and gloves. Easy Money

There's no doubting that Malignaggi is a better boxer than Maidana.

Keep in mind, that Maidana is one of those "I'll take 3 to land 1" type of fighters (note how I said 'fighter', not boxer).

Accumulation is a major factor; how would Broner (or anyone else) feel if Maidana was able to land on the arms/shoulders/gloves in the same amount that Paulie did?

Also, we've barely seen Broner use footwork to stay on the outside. He has been walking his opponents down. Will he try to walk down Maidana, as well?

For sure, Broner will capitalize on Maidana's openings and land more, but he will definitely be getting hit back.

For all we know, Maidana could be Broner's Jose Luis Castillo [Mayweather reference... but will it be like Floyd/JLC 1 or Floyd/JLC 2?]

With that being said, I have Broner winning an entertaining, competitive decision. Broner's bodyshots should gain Maidana's respect.

Now that I think about it, I think Matthysse has a better chance against Broner than Maidana. He hits just as hard (or harder) than Maidana, but has a higher "I didn't see it coming" factor coming into play; because of his boxing ability.

Good fight... I think Broner wins.... But he ain't that great... He will soon be exposed

You make some good points and I agree especially on the accumulation part, maidana will have to be able to sustain that accumulation for the entire 12 rounds. I'm not sure if its maidanas S&C coach or if maidana just stuffs his face with junk food as soon as he gets home from the gym but he seriously needs to improve his conditioning and strengthen up his midsection.

Not really seeing him to resort to accumulation, Chino likes to through haymakers, he holds back to land bombs. Unless Chino decides to jab as much a Paulie did, Paulie had success with jab. its the easiest punch to through with the lowest risk.

If Paulie went toe to toe with broner would have been short night. Maidana will get taught a boxing lesson from broner, Counters, Speed and combinations.

This is an issue that has been lingering and something Garcia should aim to rectify ASAP. Maidana needs to go do some more crunches lol

I respect Broner's skills but he is touchable. Reese showed that in the early rounds of their fight. I think a big puncher w a good chin like Maidana could really have a chance at stopping Broner. AB is no Mayweather. He'll do a lot in this fight game but he'll eventually get stopped.

lmao Maidana can't even drop Khan yet he thinks he can KO Adrien?

He is touchable, mayweather is touchable but are they "decent shots"? no

Maidana has Angel Heredia as his S&C coach, and I thought he looked good his last outing. Came back strong after 2 rounds in which Josesito got some good shots in.
