Maidana Predicts Broner will avoid him, Drop back down to 135

There is a question mark on his power at 147 IMO, Paulie is very honest and he said Broner didn't hurt him. hes gone on record saying Hatton, Khan, Cotto and even Cano and Diaz hurt him.Last edited by shenmue; 06-27-2013, 04:55 PM.Comment

There's also a question mark on Broners chin above 135 because lets be honest..... Paulie hits like a lightweight..Comment

Devon Alexander made Maidana look like a C class fighter, but I do think Maidana vs. Broner is the obvious fight to be made at the moment, and going in, I think most of us would agree it could go either way.
I just want to see Broner face someone who can actually punch. I respect Paulie and he's entertaining, but he can't hit, and shame on Broner for not walking him down and going for the KO. No way in hell that fight should have gone the distance. Broner lost a lot of respect from everyone after that fight - both for his in the ring and out of ring performance.
Time for Broner to start fighting the big boys...Comment

Maidana will get severely owned by AB. I see an early KO. This is the perfect fight for both boxers right now."Of course I want to fight him because I want be a world champion again so I have instructed my advisor to get it done ASAP and he is been doing some talking in New York this weekend."
"Everybody knows that Broner is a skillful fighter and he showed some of his skills on Saturday," said Maidana. "Yet like I always said, Paulie is a smart warrior and he prevented Broner from showing his brightest side.
"The mistake would now be for Broner to face me and you know that I am not a trash talker, but I will knock out Broner if I am in a ring with him. I think he would prefer to give the title away though and move back to 135lbs rather than fight me.
"Broner would fight in a totally different way (than versus Malignaggi) against me. He would run desperately and try to box me from the outside. He would probably hit me often, but I can take a punch so sooner or later I'll catch him with a good one and he will go to sleep."
"I always fight the best out there and there are many good fighters in the welterweight division at the moment, but the one who has the belt that I want is named Adrien Broner."Comment

Who else has walked Paulie down and ko'd him? He was still punching when they waved off the Khan fight.Devon Alexander made Maidana look like a C class fighter, but I do think Maidana vs. Broner is the obvious fight to be made at the moment, and going in, I think most of us would agree it could go either way.

Broner just came up from lightweight. He was at Jr lightweight just last year.
His body still has to adjust to the weight. Its no easy feat to go up three weight classes in one year and bring KO power right off the bat.
Manny couldn't KO De La Hoya in his first fight at 147. And DLH was emaciated.
The Ghost Guerrero couldn't KO Berto in his first fight at Welter either.
Give AB time...Comment

Paulie was also butt hurt over the "side piece" drama. So I doubt he's being 100% honest about how good Broner is.
Broner hurt Paulie a few times but Paulie played it off by hotdogging. Rewatch the fight and I think you'll see what I'm talking about.Comment
