If Broner/Maidana was a 15 round fight.

[Blu]

Does Broner come back and beat Maidana?

[Espy]

No, Broner had no answer for Maidana's looping left hooks. He ate repeated shots at various distances and when he had spots where he looked like he could come back or some success it seemed like he would eat a big shot and be back at square one. His defense was just so lackluster and he didn't really land many significant punches either. I think he hurt Maidana once in the fight and even in that instance I think Maidana hurt him after that.

I don't think Maidana would have faded enough for Broner to take significant control of the fight.

IF.. IF... IF... Chavez vs. Martinez was a 13 round fight. IF Pacquiao had not jumped into that punch. IF HanzGruber's dad had pulled out in time.

Life is not about ifs, imagination is.

[boliodogs]

Absolutely not. Broner only won a round or two. Even if he won round 13, 14, and 15 he still loses. Broner was not coming on strong at the end. He lost the late rounds just like he lost the early rounds. He probably would not have lasted 3 more rounds with Maidana. He tried to get Maidana DQed by dropping to the canvas in delayed faked agony after a lightweight head butt.. Maidana took the fight out of him. There would have been no late rally by Broner in a 15 rounder. Maidana chased him down to 140 to fight Khan's worst leftovers. Maidana kicked his ass from start to finish so leave to at that. Don't try to rewrite history with a 15 rounder because 3 more rounds would have only made things worse for Broner who averaged less than 30 punches a round to Maidana's 70 punches a round.

[Da Machine]

No way. He was just as tired as Maidana. In fact Maidana may have stopped him. That couner left was killing Broner when Maidana fought on the back foot.

C fighters both of them

Who cares Broner is a **** end and he deserved to have his head kicked in.

[Dr Rumack]

Broner looked stronger in rd 12. Probably would have been business as usual once Maidana recovered though. That late punch in the 11th buzzed him.

[Nights King]

Broner only rallied because he knew that Round 12 was the only chance he had. He wouldn't have taken that risk if it was a 15 round fight. He would've been stopped in those particular later rounds.

[fvanesbeck]

This is a ****** question. If Broner had scored 3 knockdowns and won each of the last 3 rounds in a 15 rounder, Maidana still would've won a close decision based on the score after 12 rounds(he was up 5 points on one card and 7 on the other two).

So essentially what you are asking is "Could Broner have knocked Maidana out?" and the answer is 'No'.

I'm assuming most of the people who voted 'Yes' didn't do the math first because if anyone looked like being knocked out in that fight it was Broner.
