Comments Thread For: Broner vs. Maidana: Showtime Wants To Get it Done

It's a pick em' fight. Broner's superior hand speed should play a factor, and Maidana is a far more stationary target than Paulie. But Maidana is also a big puncher, and he'll earn Broner's respect power wise.

But with that said, Paulie didn't really land flush or clean on Broner's head all that often aside the jabs, but Broner is very very susceptible to the body, where Paulie landed a ton of his punches on.

I don't know if Broner has enough power at 147 to hurt Maidana though. We'll see what happens.

I'm not sure Broner can hurt Maidana. people are forgetting how much Maidana has progressed. Maidana will be tagging him all night with his jab and once he makes Broner respect his power Broner will be on thhe defensive, except that he doesn't have the speed or footwork to escape Maidana and every shot that Maidana lands will wear him and break him down.

Maidana will take many shots from Broner but Marcos will trade with him and once Broner feels his power he will be reluctant to do it often, putting the fight in Marcos hands.

Maidana didn't looked that improved his last fight. He looked good but nowhere as good as u make it seem. He fights broner, he loses.

Exactly. And a key point here, Broner isnt that hard to hit. Paulie, didnt just land a punch or two, he was landing 5 or 6 punch combos. Maidana isnt Paulie. While he lacks Paulies speed, just one hit by Maidana can end Broner. Thwre was no such risk with Malinaggi.

Maidana by vicious knockout inside 8. Broner's a hype job, he has no defence which isn't a great flaw to have against a murderer like Chino. As soon as this gets announced I'm sticking all my points on it.

I agree; but, remember, there are some powerful people backing Broner.

Expect controversy.

Broner beats Maidana in another controversial SD

I think this is how I see it tbh..Broner better show more movement tho,or this fight won't make it to the cards..

Why should the much superior infighter show more/ or any kind of movement, Maidana isn't even someone I classify as a good infighter, he's a pretty good mid range fighter with good power, but smothering him; defending against his attack shouldn't be difficult for Broner. I hope we get this one signed, I don't know whether people are going with their emotions or not...but stylistically this is too easy a match up for Broner.

I'm not so sure Maidana would do well enough to win, unless Broner folds under his pressure and power, which is a possibility considering Broner's never been tested against a guy like that.

Maidana will be right in front of Broner and is too easy to hit. Its people who actually move that give Broner problems. Maidana is not that guy.

Would be a good one. I'd be happy with it.
