Comments Thread For: Maidana Drops, Rocks, Shocks Broner in San Antonio

Great fight! WOW! Maidana came out like Roberto Duran! Broner was trying to be cute when he should have been sticking and moving. He's still good though, he just obviously doesn't belong at 147. He needed to be humbled, he doesn't know how to lose and that's what irks me the most. If you can clown in the ring, out of the ring, be brash and obnoxious and rude, you better be able to take a loss and he can't. He shouldn't write checks that his chin can't cash.

Enough of Broner, this is Maidana's night! LONG LIVE EL CHINOOOOO!!!!!

You could tell this fight was very very personal for Maidana. He was playing around when that bell rung.

Thank you Chino.

Oh come on now, don't make Paul Williams be this tough as nails guy. Don't forget that for the second Sergio fight he forced Sergio to a catch weight fight. Even though Sergio was the champ.

Oh come on he had one moment you can mention of...that's a reach tho. Sergio ain't have no issues with it but the fans always do. I like both men big time.

You gotta give him a break though. He has a huge ego and just caught his first loss. I think some are saying his jaw may be broke too? Anyway, I think he was very emotional and devastated. So I don't blame him for leaving.

What I blame him for is stuff like the NBA acting after the headbutt. Come on now.

Oh and touring sucks, touring suuuuucks. Def hear you on the music biz stuff.

I've given him a ton of breaks bro, trust me on that..the gavin rees fight was the last straw for me tho. The headbutt thing was absolutely disgusting, I feel you on the emotion thing tho man but he ain't 18 he's a 24 year old father of three.that maturity should've been kicked in. We can say a lot of shhh about Floyd but I doubt Floyd takes a loss and just bounces.

Problem solved, class dismissed!!

AB was 156. But I noticed before the opening bell that he had no definition, which is rare for him. He's a very good lightweight that got his ass kicked by a good welterweight. All we learned tonight is that AB has skills, but not elite enough skills to overcome being totally outgunned.

I did notice he had no definition too and out of shape. I also remember the gut during All Access Mayweather/Canelo. That tells you something about his dedication to the sport. If he's going to move up in weight he has to be prepared to fight WWs. Let's not forget Maidana is moving up too. He fought a bad fight and got beat by a better, more determined fighter. No excuses for AB.

Now that Broner the pretender has been exposed, I hope his overrated arse disappears from the boxing world and maybe he can get a job as a janitor in Popeye's. Boxing doesn't need him and his antics.

I ain't neva see that kinda exaggerated acting in boxing before. I think the closest I can compare it to is what Alexander did with Bradley.

Bernard Hopkins. I think it was against Roy.

Broner looked an absolutely broken man on the way out.

[Realizniguhnit]

See one thing is calling him undersized another is calling him a LW. You're on that ish, bro if you really think he belings there. He looked bigger than Paulie, too. Blown up? Look at josesito at 154, look at Marquez vs Floyd. This is Broner's second fight at 147, rhydrated to 150 plus. Its like saying Rios is a LW. Look, I had Broner winning this fight before it started and if thats what helps you sleep tonight then so be it. Just because you cant hurt a guy doesnt mean you dont belong there. Broner has always seemed as big as the 147 guys.


I CAN agree with you in the sense that for THIS fight he didnt seem as solid like he did vs Paulie and I'm well aware of of what he looked like inbetween these two fights (Remember him in the Canelo-Floyd thing where he was clearly livin it up fat?).

Broner is still a welter... Worst excuse i've ever seen. How quickly people stop calling Maidana a blown up 140 pounder now hes a good welter.

Broner's not a WW fool. The people you are naming are all taller than Broner. Height plays a role just as much as weight does. Broner doesn't have the height or reach to make up for his lack to height If all you can say is he blew up to 156 but Garcia and Matthyese do the same thing at 140! you're not making any sense. Broner did what he could at welter. but he needs to be at 140. He's still a natural LW

Bonehead: No heart, no class, no brains, all b.s. I've watched Maidana for many fights. This was his best performance... even better than vs Ortiz. He was relentless all night long. Maidana is a man. Bonehead is, was, and will always be nothing more than a big mouthed ignorant punk. I called this fight, and now I'm happy as can be. What a great way to close the year.

And I also said Lawrence Cole was a crapola ref. And I was right on that also. Lousy at breaking the fighters, missed calls right and left, no point deduction for the late hit by Bonehead, but took a point from Maidana for the mild semi-headbutt. Tell me Cole wasn't in somebody's pocket.

And no guys, Bonehead did NOT have heart. And if it wasn't for Cole's long count on the first knockdown, Maidana would've had an early KO victory. Marcos deserves all the credit in the world for finally shutting up and solving the minor 'problem'.

Broner has heart. Any man that can step in that ring has heart!

Maidana wasn't relentless the entire fight. He was gassed in a bunch of rounds, allowing Broner to get more confident and rally back. If Maidana didn't have those conditioning issues, I believe he would've stopped Broner. Like by round 4.
