    that was part if the charm. Floyd tried to be Captain Save-A-Broner and failed miserably.

    No he didn't avenge Broners loss. They both looked bad against Maidana

      I think Floyd wanted to show he was better than little bro. But as always Floyd wanted help with the glovegate.
      Its makes you wonder what other areas of Floyds life he will be prepared to cheat to get what he wants.

      I think Floyd lost to Maidana. But Floyds saving grace is that he wasn't koed down.

        Broner also stunned Maidana. Floyd didn't come close.

        I've always said Broner has better offense than Floyd and it was obvious after watching that fight
        Broner has better offense than Floyd?? You out your damn mind son? Manny has better offense yes but no Broner. GTFOH

          You're right, Broner didnt face Maidana restrained with pillow gloves and he did stun him a couple times. Maidana even said during the post fight that other than one good right hand he didnt really hurt him.
          Broner lost but did a more respectable job, Floyd got the W but looked like sht. Pretty ironic.

            I feel like the Mayweather vs. Maidana fight is like the basketball team that usually blows the other teams out by 40 points then ends up going down to the wire with an unranked but tough team and squeaks out the victory by 4 points. Since the losing team came far closer to victory than those before it, and exceeded everyone's expectations people are unable to remain objective in their views

              Like how people saw Maidana-Morales, Floyd won the fight but lost the event.

                true to an extent but broner had to deal with a maidana that had maidana's gloves not floyd's gloves. Maybe if Maidana had been wearing the pillows against broner he may not have gotten the knockdowns ... likewise if he had been wearing his normal gloves v floyd...

                  You actually make a very valid and sad point (for Floyd fans)

                  Broner did better offensively than Floyd. Floyd didn't do much offensively.

                    Not exactly. Thank goodness he was facing a guy he should be able to better performing virtually any athletic activity known to man. Floyd's fast feet, fast hands and agility once again made the major difference for him. He looked excellent when he had breathing room. When he didn't; not so much.
