After the Dust Settles: Maidana vs Broner - Closer Fight On The Second Viewing?

[Jack Napier]

beyond pleasure purposes of course, there's no need for a 2nd viewing; it wasn't close at all, and even Broner milking a point deduction didn't get him in it on points

[bojangles1987]

I thought the fight was closer the first time than I did the second time.

[FerFAL]

Yes, very close.
Broner came close to getting KTFO. He came close to fighting MMA several times, he came close to winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, he came close to crying at the end and came close to needing a straw to feed himself for the rest of his life.

[ATG Fighter]

Nope. Not close. It was a beating. 9-3 type of fight.

Watching the fight you get the sense that Broner himself KNEW he couldn't beat Maidana. The little boy was scared ****less...his pride is the only thing that kept him in the game.

exactly lol.i think he knew he was in big trouble from the 1st punch chino threw.i dont think he threw more than 5 punches that 1st rnd

No not really. Kind of like the Mayweather-Cotto fight. Broner made it close in a lot of rounds but still lost them. I thought he won some of the mid rounds and the 12th. 3-4 rounds max.
