What's good for the goose is good for the gander. People are so fond of saying maidana is "fringe" and saying erik was shot when he fought Maidana despite moving on from that fight to win a title and give danny garcia a competetive fight.
Yeah, he was. Morales that fought Garcia the 2nd time had nothing left after the ped scare, but he had a lil somethin somethin before that, which is more than enough, considering his pedigree, to put him over someone like PDL.
And the fact of the matter is Maidana was ill prepared for the chop chop fight. It happens... You are naïve if you think Maidana won't be in the shape of his life against Broner. This is his shot at the Mayweather sweepstakes.Comment

Maidana is capable of testing Broner's chin/toughness/stamina. I think Broner would prefer not to move and since his previous opponents haven't been a threat, he could shell up in the center and not worry much about what's coming back. Though I pick Broner to win, Chino will have his chances once Broner shells up or tries to walk him down. Broner is very confident in his ability and will look to dominate. He'll try to impose himself at some point, and I think Team Maidana have to be prepared for when it happens. Combinations, body shots and countering the straight right will be Chino's keys to victory.Last edited by kiaba360; 08-02-2013, 10:02 AM.Comment

Oh, I'm a world star type now? Lol. Keep the stereotypes coming. Keep beggin for my attention. Keep trying to be clever. Keep trying to escape from your crap life by being a funny guy on the Internet. I get it, I really do. But if u have nothing of substance to say pertaining to the thread, stop wasting my time.Comment

I think the paulie fight has taken away some of Broner's shine but I share the opinion that he will look much better against Maidana.
If Broner and Maidana fight, There is a very good chance it will be like floyd having a tough go with augustus and then the next fight dominating Corrales in a showcase performance.Comment

Maidana is so crude, he wins his fights on great power and insane amounts of heart. His skills are just plain poor at the top level of the sport. Broner SHOULD wipe the floor with him, but Broner should have wiped the floor with Malignaggi, Ponce and Quintero as well and he lost at least 2 out those 3 and arguably all of them. Broner is not nearly as good as advertised but he should be good enough to beat Marcos so long as he can take Marcos' power.Comment

Eric morales won a title against Pablo Cesar cano. Does that mean he's not shot? How so? Shane Mosley just knocked out that very same cano. Does that mean hes not shot? I'm tired of hearing your excuses for maidana's performances. An excuse is an excuse. This is boxing. Broner can have plenty of excuses for his bad performances as well, but at the end of the day, he's never looked as bad as Maidana did against chop chop. And if ur Ill prepared for a chop chop fight, theN to me, that says a whole lot about u.Comment

Your turn for triangle theories I see. Well then, what about how Cano was robbed against Mags and Mags made broner look average?
And Broner never looked as good against solid, not grossly outsized, competition like Maidana has in his last couple fights. What's your point?Originally posted by Dempsey

It's not about comparing floyd to broner. Its that I see the similarities in the fights.
The augustus fight was far tougher than people assumed it would be. The corrales fight was far superior than most thought, in part because floyd didn't meet expectations in the augustus fight.
Same thing here. Broner failed to meet my and many posters expectations in the paulie fight. But this is NSB-where posters have the mind numbing mentality that winning a tougher than thought fight (broner/paulie or tim/provodnikov recent examples ) somehow lessens a fighter.
Too much focus on NSB is on Broner not doing what posters expected rather than just assessing his overall performance.Comment
