This thread was up last night. Hasn't Maidana finished him off yet? Broner is muscle bound from too much heavy weight lifting. He telegraphs his punches and his punches are not very fast and lack snap. He averages less than 30 punches a round. He will never beat a natural fighter and puncher like Maidana who's faster punches seem to come out of nowhere and catch guys by surprise.
If Broner/Maidana was a 15 round fight.

Maidana has gone on record and said Broner hits hard and has quite a bit of power.
At one point, in the late rounds, it looked like Broner was on the verge of stopping Maidana.
By the 12th round I thought Broner looked fresher than Maidana, also Maidana's conditioning hasn't always been the best, but I think it sorta evens out with the fact that Broner doesn't throw that much.
But of course a puncher like Maidana is always dangerous until the final bell rings. It's totally plausible that he could of KO'd Broner in 13, 14, or 15. All I'm saying is it would of been an interesting fight had it gone three more rounds.Comment

no, everytime that it seemed that broner was coming on strong madiana stopped him with a left hook (look at the 12th) even when he looked hurt in the first half of the last round, maidana finished the fight strong and hurt broner a few times before the final bellComment

youre a gentleman and aThis 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.
