    Even though he lost was Broner best performance vs Maidana?

    People never bring up the damage Broner was doing the second half of the fight.

    He showed heart, great chin, and let's his hands go

    If the fight didn't turn into a meme I think he would have gotten more credit.

    Yes. He showed really balls and quality in that fight. I remember scoring it 115-111 Maidana, can't remember the judges scores.

    Maidana had found his peak at this stage, perfected his style, and a massive puncher at the weight.

    But to Broner, taking the L had a massive mental effect on him, and he was never the same after. Not saying he was a world beater, but better then than he is now.

            It was his best, he was going to rematch (which would have been great), but Floyd stole Maidana from him.
            Would have been interesting to see if Broner could have came back or if he would have got KO'd.
            Broner is going to be a gate keeper at this point, not enough action to win the big fights.

                He did come strong in the second half and hurt Maidana.


                But never the same after that so I say yes, that was his best performance.


                And yeah the memes after that fight were gold

                  So far as being entertaining, absolutely.

                    I wouldn’t even put it as a top 5 performance.

                    1. DeMarco
                    2. Khabib
                    3. Litzau
                    4. Escobedo
                    5. Theopane

                    That’s as far as “performances” go.

                    His worst performances, imo:

                    1. Pacquiao
                    2. Maidana
                    3. Malignaggi
                    4. Mikey Garcia
                    5. Gavin Rees (this fight convinced me Broner isn’t elite)

                    Other “poor” performances: Ponce De Leon, Jessie Vargas, Granados.
