    Why the hell is chinos win over broner considered such a big upset???

    it's weird, I always thought Maidana would beat broner, actually i tought he'd stop him and was dissapointed in his finishing in the fight.

    Broner should have lost to paulie ffs

      Only people who it was an upset to was the Broner nutthuggers and people who got fooled by the hype. I gave Maidana a legitimate chance Broner has always had ****ty defense the only reason he got away with it before was preying on smaller guys that couldn't hurt him and even Ponce made him **** bricks.

        I thot broner had every single reason to dominate maidana, speed, boxing, good power, boxing and boxing. But I knew he was gonna lose cuz A he would act like a jackass wit the wrong dude and B the ponce de leon fight

        I did say that this could be Broners mayweather vs manfredy/corrales moment but then said na man de leon fight

          I dont effing know. Ever since the paulie fight, it was painfully obvious Broner isn't a true 147 pounder.

          The outcome is a good one for Mayweather. Little may gets his ass beat. Floyd comes in and massacres Maidana, cuz come on. Style wise it should be as easy as it gets for Floyd.

          Remember Floyd - Jmm? Well Floyd - Maidana would be even more one sided if that is possible.

          Thurman would be ideal, but Khan'll do. At least, he'll put up a better fight against May than Chino would. I'm sorry but Chino would just plod after May while floyd just dances around the ring with lead hooks, counters, and pot shots, it wouldn't be very entertaining.

          At least with Khan, he'd be forced to engage.

            Because of the amount of hype HBO and later Sho put behind him. He never looked 'like all of that' to me, and I had Pauli winning marginally. I really have to re-watch the PdL fight again though...

            I swear to god that the shoulder roll has ruined half a generation of black American boxers. That's not Floyd's problem, but anybody doing the shoulder roll without the feet and fluid couterpunch to offence transitions should really just stand in a traditional stance. Or go 'shoulder roll' like people go southpaw today.

              Broners boxing has never been that good.

              He moves like he's wearing cement boots, and has okay defence at best.

              It was obvious they would be meeting in the center of the ring and i'll always take the guy with massive power advantage.

                HBO and showtime hyped him so much and they protected him so much that and the executives and managers were so invested in him that they would only take a fight that he had a very good chance at winning... but that backfired on them

                  I felt Chino is more deserving. I completely see your point both have positives, Khan gets knocked out, and with chino as a mayweather fan round after round I get to thoroughly laugh at all the mayweather haters get madder and madder once they realise even when maidana FINALLY does catch mayweather money still aint going nowhere cuz he got an iron chin behind that iron defense

                    Did you put down any money? Sounds like you could have made a killing.
