Comments Thread For: Guerrero Doubts Broner Can Adjust To Beat Maidana

[elcashanilla]

I think broner has enough power and speed to stop maidana i loved the first fight it was my foty and the second one will be even better

[BuckToothed]

This guy can talk all he wants in the sideline, but is he willing to step in the ring with Maidana? Twice? We know he turned it down once already.

[turnedup]

What gets lost in all the hoopla of the first fight was how outta shape AB was coming into camp. I picked AB, even though is had doubts. And a large part of my doubt was how fat AB had gotten. Does that have anything to do with his inablility to handle Chino's power? Who knows. But I know getting that far outta shape between fights can't help much. Regardless of what AB's haters say. That was a very grueling fight for both guys. And I suspect that Chino's camp wanting to push the fight back as far as possible isn't directly associated with the hope AB's lack of disciple gets him outta shape again. How else can you explain it? His ole lady having a baby made him unavailable for a fight in in late Apr. But he was willing and able to fight Floyd a couple weeks later the first fight in May. Please.

He got the better of his opponent for 6 minutes total out of a 36 minute fight..if this had been anyone else nobody would be clamoring for a rematch. He had ample time to lose the weight..it isn't like dude wasn't usually walking around big..there's a reason he was struggling to make weight most of his career. Have you seen his pops? Some of that can be genetic. What you guys are forgetting is that its the first time Broner got tapped by someone not smaller framed than him. Malignaggi, Demarco, them dudes have no flex for a guy who walks around heavier than they do. You guys can make up all sorts of reasons why he lost the fight but won't acknowledge the main one "The kid's defense is Shhhh... and his stance is wayyy too wide" that second knock down is a prime example..wide stance he leaned back but because his front leg was so far in front of him he couldn't slide. That's fine to do with smaller guys but with guys who pack a punch you can't do that.

Regardless of what Broner's haters say, that was an even fight. With the difference being Chino could handle AB's power better than AB could handle Chino's. In between the moments where AB was staggered and in survival mode, he was actually getting the better of Chino. A rematch will boil down to "can AB handle Chino's power." Personally, I don't think he can. He can outbox Chino. But he's not skilled enough to do it for 12rds. He's pretty good defensivly. But he's not good enough to make Chino miss everything. So the moment of truth where AB is hit with a bomb is inevitable. Maidana will hurt AB enough to carry several rounds. And its very likely that he'll drop AB, which means extra points on the card. And personally, I don't think AB will be allowed to suffer the amount of punishment he suffered in the first fight. He has the excuse of being too small for 47. And he's capable of fighting at 40, maybe even 35. So when it comes down to it, I'm probably picking Chino via stoppage.

So let me get this straight. The fight was even, according to you, if you take Maidana's power away? You do realize that makes no sense right? The dude is a power puncher. That's how he fights. That's like saying Broner only won the 3 rounds he won because he was faster. It makes no sense. You can't take away a fighters attributes to suit your argument. Broner was out-landed 32-5 in the first rounds. He was continually pummeled in rounds that he didn't go down in. He only did good in a few rounds because Chino got tired from goin upside his head so much. The fact of the matter is that Broner has bad defense and doesn't punch enough. It showed against Gavin & Paulie big time and he paid for it against Maidana. The flaws have been there and will continue to be there until he changes his ways in the ring. The truth is the Broner simply is not as good as he says he is. He has never beaten a good quality fighter without controversy and he has only fought 3-4 high level opponents. He really is kind of like Berto in how he was brought along as a fighter.

that was an even fight

The only way this statement doesnt make you the biggest fool in history is if you're trying to get a job as a fight judge in Las Vegas and you know they read these comments.

There is a difference between having the desire to fight the guy you already beat for a decent purse, and getting up to fight the face of boxing for the biggest purse you'll ever make, and the biggest event you'll ever be in.
This has nothing to do with Maidana hoping AB will get fat by making him wait.

I'm sure you've spoken to, and have confirmation of that from Chino himself.

I'm not ready to call AB "chinny." But I'm leaning that way.

BTW, 6 outta 36. GTFOH

I'm not taking away Chino's attributes. I'm saying his power was the difference in the fight and why I don't think AB will win the rematch. As for him outlanding AB. Of course he did. AB spent a pretty good amount of time on ***** street and in survival mode. You're not doig a lotta punching and its difficult to makes guys miss consistantly in those moments. The rounds Chino won were a lot bigger than the rounds that AB won. I can't remember which round. But I gave Chino a 10-8 round in one of the rounds where he didn't even drop AB. That said, there were also several close rounds as well.

Guerrero would **** up broner as well

i think so too!

^^^^^^
this kid right here dont know what he's talkin about!!!!
Chino out landed ab, pwoer punched the hell outta ab and the only time chino was hurt was by a late punch AFTER the 11th round finished!
Dont get me wrong kid, ab has some skill, but he went about the fight the wrong way! if he chooses to fight fire with fire in the rematch, he gets stopped! If he chooses to a boxer puncher(which he can do), its more of an even fight imo. the problem with the kid is that he does not stay in shape and ply his craft like he should between fights. he likes the lavish life more so, and it will be his downfall

one of the most ****** coments I ever read.
