I will be rooting for the underdog.

Broner hurt Maidana towards the end of the fight when he gassed a little. Mikey needs to be cautious but I can't see Broner winning this fight. It's time to give up on him.

I don't see Mikey knocking out Broner.
Let's face it, Broner's fat ass should be fighting in the 154 JMW division, while Mikey is moving up a division to JWW. That's basically 3 divisions difference. I see this going 12 rounds with Mikey winning a comfortable decision.

I don't even see Broner making weight for this fight. I doubt he'll weigh less than 144 for weigh-in.

It was a flash knock down. You don't need to be a hard puncher, combination of timing and poor balance.

Same thing with Mikey, has never seriously been hurt. He was dropped but it was more of not seeing the punch and being off balance.

Man this picture brings back some good memories.

Dude you ain't kidding. I kept that on my DVR for a very long time and would regularly replay it to put a smile on my face. That head-body-head combo Chino hit him with in the 10th was a thing of beauty. Watching Slick Rick Schaefer's reaction in the audience was almost as good as the fight itself. Hopkins is next to him and leaning over saying something to the effect of "I knew this kid wasn't ****."

Ofc Broner can take a punch

I like Mikey, want to see him stay undefeated. Marvelous talent. But let's not rule out Boner's strength & talent if Mikey can't keep him controlled or if he happens to hurt Mikey. He'll finish him off.
Admire Mikey moving up to bigger challenges but start 140 with easier fight.

Time to retire the Joke Broner. Put him out of his miserable career. Whats his best win again? De Marco?

Broners weakness isnt his chin its that he cant handle volume punchers! everyone thats ever beat him threw a **** load of punches

[hitking]

Broner was a big puncher as a lightweight. Mikey is a lightweight. Broner had only been beaten by bigger guys bullying him around the ring. He can be outboxed. But Broner basically wants to get ob his front foot, stalk, and beat guys up to the head and body. And he mixes in catch-n-shoot countering. If Mikey can't get Broner's respect, he's probably gonna be in for a long night.
