    Comments Thread For: Taylor: Broner Beats Small Guys, Maidana Exposed Him

    "It is the quiet ones you have to worry about."

    The usually soft-spoken Taylor keeps to himself in the build-up to fights throughout his career. It looked as though it would be the same thing as Taylor did very little talking, while the brash and outspoken Broner was the more vocal of the two.

    That all changed at the press conference on Thursday when both jawed at one another. That is when Broner reached for Taylor's neck in an attempt to choke him.

    That seemed to wake up the quiet Taylor, as he showed he was not about to be intimidated. Taylor also wanted to show he has equal bite to his bark.

    Rooting for Taylor, but if Broner has truly made changes to his game and IMPROVED (I doubt it) ... I expect Broner to beat on Taylor.

      I agree with Taylor, Broner is in over his head here.

          100% agree. I wouldn't favour him over any top 10 JWW/WW.
          His style of walking guys down behind his guard won't work on bigger guys that can punch. He has slow ass feet too, and doesn't even use his hand speed to full effect.

            Taylor got some clues from that Maidana fight to give Broner hell, such as Broner usually starting slow and gets disoriented when blitzkrieg offense is employed. The only problem is the follow up and mopping operations, unless the attack is packed with overwhelming force and puts Broner in incapacitated state.

              I don't think Broner will KO him... but hey... he might. Taylor most likely going to try and wear him down with pressure, but Broner could still hurt him

                Taylor is nothing special, solid fighter but does enough to lose.

                  Taylor has T-Rex arms, so he's gonna have a hard time pressuring if Broner maintains distance. If Broner thinks he's just gonna walk him down and fight on the inside, then he's giving Taylor a chance.

                    Taylor is ehhh. Definitely not someone Broner can easily walk down. But if Broner keeps level and protects his chin..... I still think he has 50/50.
