      I don't know the exact odds but if Broner is any kind of a favorite its a gross overestimation so you name it at even odds and you got it.

        Yeah, I've seen posters claiming he stands like that because he can and he could dance around the ring all night if he wanted to. I disagree and think he does it because he will tire out trying to move around. He is a pocket boxer as long as he is fighting in his pocket. I've seen AB hit cleanly by the last 4 boxers he has faced and he does appear to be slowing down as he moves up in weight. Chino hill slug away at him until he breaks him down and as you said, he might not have the power to keep Chino off of him either.

I can easily see Broner struggling to keep Maidana off if his power isn't getting any respect, he clearly isn't very good on his feet. But Maidana for his part isn't exactly a precision puncher, and while Broner might be right in front of him he's not bad at all when it comes to rolling and deflecting shots.
          I think Maidan can break him down with his power. There was a reason why Broner fought Paulie instead of one of the other tougher punchers in the division. I don't think he has the power to keep Maidana away and that he will be leary of Maidana's power.

            Let's see...

            An ego that big would never appear on camera looking the state that he did. Heavy, wrinkled, and ungroomed. (Looked like he missed his barber by 2 weeks).

            That was the first tall tale sign that he's been doing a little too much partying. His lifestyle will catch up to him, it will be his downfall.

            Twitter pictures of hookers going down on him.
            A sex video that followed.
            Instagram photos of the amount of alcohol he can consume
            and non stop flaunting of excessive spending.

            He's living the life, I won't knock it. But he's not discipline. These things catch up. He'll be humbled and will be better for it IMO.

            Maidana isn't the guy to do it though. I expect him to get Demarco'd

              You can talk about "if the Broner who fought so and so" shows up till you're blue in the face, but every fight and every threat is dealt with differently.

              Broner has learned from the Paulie fight as fighters learn from every fight, and he will put on a show against Maidana. He's going to beat Maidana's ass, and I grew to respect Maidana.

              Nothing personal, but I expect Broner to destroy Maidana.

                Demaidana gets royally starched in two weeks. Don't be surprised whatsoever.

                  Some of you guys have an amateur outlook on Broner's style. But it's said on purpose, so go figure. You say his balance is bad-wrong. You say that he is a glorified Berto-so wrong.

                  Broner showed a little inexperience early in the fight when Paulie moved. Broner was trying to solve the speed and movement of Broner. He went head hunting against Paulie probably because of the talk before the fight. Some of you even pathetically equated that to a loss or close fight because the judges said so. You knew the judges were wrong, but you had to ride with them because you don't like Broner. Fine.

                  Maidana has a minute chance of winning. #Mynoot

                    Not saying Broner won't win but Maidana isn't De Marco. Much higher risk fight for Broner, Maidana hits harder, boxes better and has beaten better fighters than De Marco.
