I really think the Broner cheapshot after the bell in round 11 has really tainted Maidana's view of Broner's punching power. He was severely hurt hence the frantic efforts to revive him before round 12 & Ariza's controversial acts where he may have been using smelling salts or something similar. It took Maidana half of the 12th to get his legs back. With that being the last and final round of the fight it definitely left a bigger impression than earlier in the fight. I'm not saying by any stretch that Floyd hits harder, he rarely sits down on his punches and prefers quick snapping scoring blows rather than trying to get his opponents out of there. His brittle hands plus his super awareness of return fire means many times he is already bailing out while throwing shots.
Maidana: Surprisingly, Broner hits harder and is stronger than Mayweather.

This is boxing not a beauty contest. Look at Algieri he won and he had a messed up eye. We already know Broner hits harder so naturally he is more likely to leave marks. Floyd has respectable power but mostly potshots. There are fighters who have won decisions when they look worse than their opponent.Comment

Corrupt judges will never allow him to win a decision I had Madaina 7 to 5 in the first fight and I'm sure most of the public did tooComment

I think the same thing. That shot got his attention more than any other in the two fights.
However, not shocked to learn that Broner hits harder and is stronger than Mayweather. He sits down on his punches more and his physique looks like more of a power physique than May in IMO.Comment
