    Broner won the 12th round because Maidana was still suffering the effects of that cheap shot after the bell ending the 11th round.

      I don't think so, he wasn't smart enough to realize that Taylor was open for the left hook to the body/ uppercut down the middle since the opening bell, even when he had success with it, it still came too far in between. He has the tools to beat Matthysse's overrated ass but more and more I'm starting to doubt it. He also needs to stop trying to box, he's no good at it, just come forward, press the action and let your hands go, that should be his main approach.

        Broner gets hit much too often.
        Once Lucas lands on that delicate chin, and he will, The Cincinnati Kid will be knocked from his self perceived pedestal.

        Adrien is very talented but I sense his lack of sustained maturity, in and out of the ring.
        It can't end well for Broner unless he grows up fast.

            Broner's a flat track bully. His offence is dazzling against weaker opponents. But against the top guys that dazzle will disappear and he'll come up empty.

            He's capable of winning titles, but I don't see him ruling a division that has any elite level quality in it.

              Unfortunately for Broner, he doesn't seem to have the stamina or desire to be an offensive machine. He is clearly most effective when he walks fighters down throwing those combinations.

                You best not fight Matthysse then, because you still got hit by all the same punches.

                  Broner barely squeaked by a "C" level fighter and now he is ready to fight big names? He better just stick to "C" level opponents.

                    Broner, you are being matched against guys that you are supposed to KO in 2 or 3 rounds (hence the 12:1 odds in your favor), yet you let the fights go 12 rounds and eat punches to no end.....why is that?

                      How is your career going to grow? By struggling against C level fighters who you don't have a size advantage over?
