Marcos Maidana A Nightmare For Kell Brook?

[GrandpaBernard]

Robert Garcia's comments on the Grantland podcast strongly suggested that Maidana was done. I think there's a good chance that when he comes back it's at 154.

Did they mention why he's done?

He has been silent ever since the Floyd fights. I expected him to ride the momentum of hype from those two fights

I think Marcos mite handle Brook if he aint 100 on point/ no mistakes

Garcia was making the same point. He thinks it's ****** for Maidana to be giving up millions after spending an entire career getting to that point.

Go to 1.04.30 and listen up until 1.10.00 - http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=12548655

Surprised at how open he is about it. He expects Maidana to come back but he doesn't think Maidana has the hunger or discipline anymore. He says he's changed in recent years, especially since his kid was born.

Worrying comments from Garcia but hopefully he gets him back in shape when he comes back, Garcia is a great motivator.

On the Brook fight, Maidana is always dangerous, could hurt and drop Kell at any point but it think kell fights a very smart fight, clinches a sh it load and gets a hard earned UD, unless he gets clipped and hurt which would then change the fight. 60/40 in Brook's favor.

No. Kell Brook has the balance and strength to deal with Maidana's awkward style. I think Brook would pump the jab, take a step back to get into position and hook away all night.

Maidana's aggressive awkward style would be a very difficult style for Brook. I think Brook is the better boxer but I can see Maidana knocking him out. Brook has a better chance beating Khan than Maidana but Maidana will never beat Khan.

I think Brook would do basically the same thing Alexander did. Pop him and clinch. He's bigger and likely stronger than Mayweather, so he wouldn't have the same problems, I don't think.

depends on the ref

Maidana - Brook is an even fight

I think Thurman beats Brook in a back and forth fight

LMFAO @ people making comparisons to the Maidana who went to war with Morales and who was outclassed by Alexander...he clearly isn't the same fighter, that fighter wouldn't have given Mayweather that kind of trouble

[megas30]

I see Brook handling him no problem.

Porter is better than Maidana. He doesn't hit as hard but he's physically stronger, a better boxer with faster feet and hands, also takes a better punch.

Lol @ Porter being better than Maidana. Maidana is now more focused, committed and confident under Garcia. Porter does nothing better than Maidana.
