Also this article about who wins between Maidana vs Broner really annoyed me, such bias towards Broner who hadn't ever faced a WW puncher like Maidana. Some of these predictions were laughable to the extreme.
"I expect Broner to put on a clinic and drop Maidana at least once on his way to a very wide decision win"
"Broner will counter Maidana’s crude assaults with ease and use the ring to his advantage. After four or five rounds Maidana will be sickened and reluctant to lead, which will give “The Problem” the invitation to release blazing attacks of his own. I think this will be a brutal demonstration of Broner’s talents and I hope Maidana doesn’t get badly hurt, TKO Broner win"
"Broner has more firepower than Devon and, while Maidana may have some fun moments, Broner breaks him down before its over".
"As much as you would hope that Marcos Maidana’s power would be enough to carry the night, it won’t.
Adrien Broner is quick as lightning, and while he doesn’t have Floyd Mayweather-like defense, he has a good beard. He is also an outstanding boxer".
"Maidana may touch the canvas early, courtesy of a left hand to the body, and will continue to eat shots over the course of a sustained beat-down from Broner."
"By a lopsided score of 23-2, the experts see Adrien Broner defeating Marcos Maidan to remain unbeaten a in defense of his WBA welterweight belt".
So yeah a lot don't think much of Maidana, maybe think he is a bum but clearly most are idiots who don't know very much about Boxing at World Level. he just isn't flashy (in defense) and textbook (in offense) enough for most to actually able to rate correctly.
