Actually AB was warned NOT to rush the Maidana fight by the Mayweather camp. AB didn't listen. He turned down that Roc Nation deal as well back then...AB shouldn't have been at welter and certainly not as long as he has been. He was always too small. Very good fighter, deserves all the credit he used to get, but overstayed his welcome at 147. That was a horribly dangerous matchup and was going to elevate him to potentially getting that Manny or Floyd shot back then. Y'all ain't fans of Boxing. AB is the archetype for a fighter that dared to be great and risk his career in every fight. That deserves praise. Y'all the same ones that say y'all don't care whether a fighter is undefeated as long as he fought the best: well that's Adrien Broner. At a weight he should've never been at. I always knew yall didn't mean that BS tho it was just more nonsense to discredit Floyd because y'all hate him. I'm proud of AB in the ring for even having that type of courage to face the guys he did. Whatever he does out the ring as long as it ain't **** or murder/manslaughter I could care less.Comment

Anyone who knew boxing should have predicted that Broner, who is totally flat footed and has an abysmally low workrate, as well as not such great defence, would struggle against a heavy handed slugger like Maidana who is physically strong and will hit you anywhere.Comment

He did far better against Mayweather than I expected tbh, I was really glad he got the rematch, he was one of those fighters who really deserved another payday.
I gained a lot of respect for Ruiz but then lost a some of it based on how he just mailed it in the rematch.
I was so disappointed in him for coming in, in such bad shape. He had a genuine chance to gatecrash the HW top 3 but he came in looking like a sumo.
Ruiz is his own worst enemy it's a damn shame tooComment

Was Broner’s fault, he was unable to keep distance or let his hands go at the right timesComment

If you watched malignaggi vs broner and ponce de leon vs broner you knew the writing was on the wall that broner was due to getting exposed.
But yes it was an unforgettable night the forum was going crazy lol every second there was a new postComment
