    It's very difficult to master.
    You could just chalk it up like this....

    Floyd actually rolls punches when he does it, and doesn't get hit very often. Broner, well you saw what happened tonight.

      BS, Broner was being propped up by Showtime, he was HEAVILY invested in. I'm not trying to be the "im in the fight game so you don't know guy" but it takes millions to make these shows and the risk to reward is scary.

      They really believed in Broner being the next big thing, so many people thought highly of him, believe me. He's a talented kid, just not the great fighter everyone really banked on.

      Canelo was the same risk, but he paid off.

        Broner was highly regarded and the favorite going in. Many thought Broner would out class Maidana. This was a HUGE win for Maidana.

          Well it's more than rolling your punches, it's the positioning of your shoulder at an angle that really matters. People think it's just rolling shots, it's not. Floyd actually has his shoulder higher than his head, so even if he doesn't roll all the way, it's bounces off his shoulder and top of his head.

          Again, not trying to get to technical but it's not something east to emulate. Broner don't have it.

            Obviously it's more then that, but if you didn't wanna go deep into it, one could just see that easily. Broner eats many punches in his shell, Floyd eats hardly any.

                Floyd is a master, plain and simple. In the end you are right, I just hope he learns from this and becomes a little more humble....doubt it though.

                I mean he was knocked down and was signalling it was a push..hahaha He was in denial to the end.

                  To be real, Showtime didn't invest much into Broner. It was HBO that did most of the 'investing.' People easily forget that Broner is new to Showtime. His rapid rise to fame came through HBO.

                    Every show takes MILLIONS to make. With no guarantee in return. Boxing is a business my friend, if you are the main event, you are being heavily invested in.
