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

[bojangles1987]

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 kind of thinking that unless Broner can't handle Maidana's power at all, he'd win. Maidana's really slow and open, and Broner is good to the body. Though maybe Broner will stand in with him and take too many big shots.

This would be a damn good fight.

Maidana beats Broner in a war. No other way to see it. Broner is a wannabe ****er in slickster disguise. Chino is his undoing. This is a damn good fight for Chino to get though, maneuvering for even bigger money fights.

Just stop. Chino is the more proven battle tested opponent, with dynamite in his fists. Broner is a cherrypicker clown that didn't bring his power up to 147, with overrated defense.

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.

Bronet can be hit with a jab,Maidana has been showing a better jab that has power..I think its a big mistake for Broner to stand in front of Maidana..To let Maidana get his offense working off the jab can be bad news for Broner IMO..

Broner easily dispatches of Maidana. Stops him in 7 or less.

Yep Broner has amazing power at 147 no way Maidana survives 7 rounds with this dangerous opponent.

Maidana is the perfect foil for Broner to make Broner look good. I seriously doubt Maidana will land his famous overhand right on Broner. That's the punch Broner always rolls, but it will make for an entertaining fight. I doubt Broner stops Maidana, and I think Broner might even get on his bike at times.

of course Broner will get hit a few times but I can't see any major problems & he'll pick apart the 1 dimensional Marcos...

Damn i hope this fight doesn't get made.

maidana is too slow for Broner (feet and hands). Way too slow. He still has an amateur jab and he is too upright which will make for an easy target for Broner. He'll pepper maidana with shots way easier than he did malignaggi. Then he'll still be able to get outta the way

You know, if Maidans gets dirty, that might throw Broner off his gameplan and give Maidana opportunities to land the overhand right

That would be his best bet, but even to do that you still have to be able to match your opponents speed somewhat. you can't corner him and rough him up if you can't cut off the ring and keep him there.

example: Mayweather vs guerrero -
Ghost tried to start roughin him up a couple times but Floyd was just too quick and able to get out when he wanted too. That was because of the huge discrepancy in foot speed. That same difference in foot speed will be there between Broner and maidana
