    Broner excused?

    Not a fan of Broner at all.

    Actually i cant stand the guy. But....... does Maidana's excellent performance against Mayweather make Broner's loss to Maidana less embarrassing?

    I mean he did get the dawg s**t beaten out of him over 12 rounds but he took the fast track to 147 and fought a heavy handed Maidana..... pretty much the same Maidana that pushed Mayweather his limit.

    I'm a Floyd fan but I do think he is a little overrated. This fight wasn't supposed to be as close as it was.

      Well, Broner actually fought horse-haired Chino, so he took on the tougher Maidana and actually hurt him once, though it was a late punch. Atleast he wasn't chicken-****, I'll say that for Broner.

        I dont know the full story about the gloves. I know the first blue pair looked like garbage. Not sure why he didnt wear the (red pair) 2nd pair.

        Just saying everyone s**t on the dude after he lost to Maidana but in hindsight it was not such an embarrassing loss.

          broner fought full on maidana ... floyd fought maidana wearing pillows. Broner also hurt maidana which floyd didn't so yeah it makes broner's loss not look so bad

            It's not that Broner lost, it's how badly he lost and his behavior during that loss that makes it so embarrassing.

              Floyd complained more than Broner did, and he had to choose what gloves to fight in. I'm not sure how that's not anymore embarrassing than Broner.

                Broners in his prime and Floyd is well passed his but yeah It doesn't look as bad now.

                It just shows the difference between Broner and Mayweather obviously.

                  You can say that again. Remember just a few hours ago when Floyd was going to KO Miadana or completely dominate and outbox him the entire fight?
                  Broner showed he can take a beating, not like a man because he tried to get away after the light headbutt, but he can take a beating. Still scum though.
