yep that's how I knew maidana had a chance, he always starts super slow then trys to walk his opponents down later on, chino wasn't having that and exposed broners whole game, broner couldn't box him at range nor fight on the inside and when he hit the ropes that really showed he needs work! all that dancing and clowning in the mayweather gym did him nothing!

Because he was ****ing terrified after Maidana bashed him up within seconds of the fight starting.Comment

The welcome punch on the first round that maidana threw; made sure broner felt -- was the key to broner's hesitancy. That opening one-two punch combination punctuated by a full force overhand right that caught broner slightly on his cheek was a message clearly delivered that sent shivers down to broner's spine.
Then on second round he was hit by a looping left hook that he thought it's going to the body but was disguised to hit in the head. After that it's all downhill for broner's confidence. And once maidana knew that all he needs is to touch this kid and he goes twerking, it doesn't matter come hell or high water maidana is bulldozing this mr. big shot wannabe.Last edited by ButtScratcher^^; 12-15-2013, 06:31 PM.Comment

Broner is not good at creating offense, that is why.
His jab is very limited and can't counter correctly off the shoulder roll. His offense is comprised off his speed combined with power punching when a target presents itself hoping it breaks through to create more openings.Comment

Broner is not the defensive master some claimed him to be. His only defense against Maidana's two fisted attack was to grab and hold on for dear life. You can't have a high punch output when you are holding on to your opponent with both hands. Broner should have been warned and then lost points for excessive holding. Broner was looking for a way out. It was fake as hell when he had that delayed collapse to canvas after Maidana head butted him for holding. He was not hurt much but hammed it up trying to get Maidana DQed since that was his only chance at winning the fight.Comment

The referee showed extreme favoritism toward Broner and let him get away with many illegal tactics.Comment

The harshest, but most accurate way to put this, is that he's a fraud. He was supposed to be a top class fighter in the pocket, rolling and deflecting shots and countering off whatever his opponent was giving him.
In reality he got his ears boxed off by Marcos Maidana. Think about that for a moment. Maidana outboxed him. And Maidana didn't even do anything mesmerising. He had a couple of tricks up his sleeve and Broner was utterly baffled and had no idea what to do.
Broner's intelligence and instinct in the pocket, on last night's evidence, is actually quite poor. He needs to be leading, or to be taking shots from a midget who can't hurt him, or he shells up. And the worst bit is, he doesn't even have an effective shell.
Last night was way worse for Broner than looking bad against Paulie, or getting a gift against PDL. Last night showed that the guy actually isn't good at the one thing he was supposed to be good at. It would be different if he was fighting someone who was a really tough style match up.
But he wasn't. He was fighting a guy who was tailor made for him. And he got taken apart. It's a terrible defeat for him. He was brutally exposed.Comment

I can't remember when I enjoyed a fight as much as this one. Broner was a 4 to 1 favorite to win this fight. Broner had lots of people fooled. He is OK but nothing special at welterweight.Comment
