Comments Thread For: Broner's Trainer: After Maidana II, We're Going To 140

[hitking]

After seeing him talk about his loss and a rematch on Showtime just now please refer to my signature for an idea of the rematch will be...this dude is just too immature and he's going to have to look like god in the ring to win back a ton of his fans.

I've been locked in on the HBO card. But my homeboy told me AB was having a lil fun on the Showtime telecast. Not saying anything you said was wrong. But would you rather he go in a shell and act like his life is over after the loss? Or be himself, jump back on the horse and try again?

What rounds did Broner win? I didn't see him win one.

That's because you're a dumbass hater. if you genuinely think that was a shutout, you're a f.uckin' idiot. Plain and simple.

It sounds to me that Mike Stafford was unprepared and out coached by his counter second in the corner, Robert Garcia for the Marcos Maidana bout. He obviously underestimated the size and power of El Chino but most importantly his heart and determination as well. So then it's no wonder why AB lost; Due to his coach's complacency and apathy toward his challenger. He wasn't trained properly.

I just got finished watching Garcia-Burgos. And there's no way in hell I'm about to go back and watch Chino-Broner right now. So I don't "which" round AB won. I had Chino winning by four points and my card was pretty much identical to Malignaggi's on fight night. Outside of giving Chino a 10-8 round in a round he didn't score a KD. Would you like me to point out "which" round that was. I have no f.uckin' clue. But if you wanna watch the fight again tonight. Just look at Paulie's card and that will tell you "which" ROUNDS I gave to Broner. It was nowhere near a shutout and anyone who thinks it does needs their f.uckin' head examined.

I don't see how it was Stafford's fault that AB chose to go on a rap tour and got fat and outta shape. And I don't see how its Stafford's fault that AB couldn't handle Chino's punching power. He ain't Floyd. So he isn't gonna make Chino miss everything. And his skill level isn't good enough to simply outbox Chino for 12 rounds. I don't see how any of that is his trainer's fault. Much less, now that its clear that AB isn't a welterweight and needs to move down. He won't listen to Stafford. He won't even listen to Floyd. So all Stafford can do is get him ready for the fight he wants. AB is a grown ass man. Its not his trainer's job to be a babysitter.

NOW That You Want To Bring "Father Figure" Into It, Why The Gangster, Foul Mouth Kid?

This father figure/trainer sounds like a real idiot from the hood. I say step right in and get knocked out at '47, then go back to '40. "Shots behind the head".... brutha's taking a beatdown, always have a basket full of excuses. Maidana didn't hit any lotto. He didn't drop your thug kid twice with shots to the back of the head. He stood right in front of your son, and dropped him with bombs, then ran his head up thru your son's chin on another occasion, to give him what he deserved. An all out azz kickin' from the street, if you want to talk the street, Pops. Maidana flat wanted it more, trained way harder than your punk kid you raised so well. And will take it to the next level from start to finish when he ruins your kids aspirations at '47, then we'll see what you do with those twice damaged goods at '40. You best fake an injury while you have time, and go to '40 now.

You are right and lot of what you have to say I agree with it. For instance, while it's true that Broner is a grown man and often does and lives as he so please. Also, coupled with the fact that Stafford does work for him and is therefore, technically speaking his boss; I can understand some of your points. However, where I disagree with your assessment is that Stafford couldn't have come up with a better game plan against the naturally larger and stronger Maidana.

Why? Because it's still ultimately the responsibility of the trainer to get his fighter mentally, physically and psychologically prepared for a potential dangerous challenger. So in that regard, Mike Stafford failed Broner because he could have focused more on defense by having him move his feet a lot more in order to avoid so many flush punches he absorbed from El Chino. Stafford even hinted as much in this interview article that AB was fighting too flat-footed of a fight and thereby making himself a lot easier target to get hit from Marcos Maidana.

Moreover, it is the boxing coach's job to stress self-discipline in order to motivate and inspire his pupil in order to help bring out the optimum results in his boxers. Robert Garcia definitely helped brought out the best in Marcos Maidana, by inspiring him to be very focused and determined for the difficult task at hand; Which was the undefeated champion Adrien Broner.

In addition, he stressed the very importance of self discipline too. So that was why Maidana won the fight because he was the one boxer that night who wanted to win it the most. Team Broner expected a bum Marcos Maidana to just show up, lay down and collect a payday but they were sadly mistaken. Team Maidana had one goal in mind and that was to fight, compete and to bring home that championship belt and they had succeeded.
