Maidana-Broner, Thurman-Soto Karass, Santa Cruz-Ceda RbR & Discussion

[bigcursedawg]

Exactly. Most of these people will look incredibly foolish for being stubborn and not giving Marcos the respect of an intelligent and driven fighter to improve his fundamentals and add weapons to his arsenal. All around EL CHINO has improved and the fact that people in here give him no chance is laughable.

Maidana will always have the power to keep him in fights, that's his equalizer. But people that think he is a vastly improved fighter are ******. He has got some wins under Garcia but he looked like the same old Maidana against Lopez and Soto Karass.

I like Marcos, but I give him no shot against Broner. I think Adrien is starting to take the sport and his training seriously which will make him a much better fighter. And Marcos is there to be hit, he's not a mover like Paulie which will make Broner look better than he his.

Broner wins this easy unless he has a bad chin (hasn't been tested yet imo) Maidana is so overrated and one dimensional.

Maidana is literally tailor made for Adrien Broner's style. You want to make Broner look good? Watch how he looks after the bout.

Has any other source confirmed this fight being made yet other than "BoxscoreNews"? Not sure how trustworthy that one really is.

Stylistically and skill-wise Maidana is not a problem for Broner, I agree.

What makes me wonder is his discipline and apparent lack of dedication. I was watching All-Access for Mayweather vs Canelo, Floyd was calling Broner fat, and by Adrien's own admission "rap isn't good for an athlete".

I don't think he's being so dedicated, a pity, because in spite of his persona I believe the kid has some good potential.

Maidana does get dropped, but what does he do after that?
He gets up and really beats guy to a bloody pulp, and he's been dropped by better and stronger boxers than Broner.
Paulie said Broner has no power, and it does seem that way.
And finally, Maidana hits like a beat, and Broner has a crappy defense. It is what it is people. His defense sucks. Can Broner take Maidana's power?

[FromBA]

Very even poll up to now. I expected more consensus that Broner has it in his bag. I give my boy Chino a pretty big chance to TKO the Problem.

[torosboxing75]

I'm surprised to see Maidana winning in the poll. I also think he wins by KO but wasn't sure where most of you guys stood on the fight.
If Broner fights flat footed like he does Maidana's going to hurt him bad.
