Did Marcos Maidana ruin Adrien Broner?

khan ruined maidana

[Weltschmerz]

Broner was riding the whole 'next Floyd' thing before Maidana beat him ... Imagine what that did to him psychologically (possibly) ... So no, he didn't seem 'the same' after that night, plus he gets into all this ****ty trouble outside the ring.

Maidana happens, Maidana is a factor,

Did Ducketts kill himself after that fight? I don't think I ever saw him again after that night

RIP F. Ducketts 19?? - 2013

OP, what was Bhop reacting to in your sig's gif?

The gif is clickable.

Maidana ruined Broner's career.

Not wearing a condom ruined Broner's chance for financial stability.

He didn't ruin, he exposed.

Oh I'm sure that douche is here under another alias.

[bojangles1987]

I'll never forget that night.


NSB was united as one.

We really were. Adrien Broner and CJ Ross are the only people who could ever manage that.

He probably did take something out of him.

The signs were there that he wasn't as good as he was portrayed to be. When you're winning a split decision against a 2013 version of Malignaggi, that says a lot to me. I like Paulie but he was well past his prime even then. Prime Malignaggi would have schooled Broner, that is the reality.

I think Broner still thought he was invincible even though he had sc****d a win against Paulie, as long as he still had that 0, then he got the shock of his life when he got in with Maidana. He got beaten up that night. He did actually show a lot of heart at the end of that fight but once that 0 had gone, i think he probably lost that desire to win as much. I think he loved feeling unbeaten and being compared his then idol Floyd more than he loved boxing.

But when it comes down to it, he just isn't or wasn't that good. He is a good fighter but he's not elite and never will be, it is what it is. Not every fighter can be a top elite fighter. He's still a good world level contender which is still ok, no shame in that.

Broner got way too much attention too early in his career. It did him a lot of harm. Too much praise, too much money, and too many yes-men in his ear while he was still a work in progress. You could argue he was never good enough to be elite but he could have been better than he is now. But once he got a pass on that bullshit he pulled against Escobedo it was a wrap on his progression.
