Certainly not against Maidana. I actually dislike Broner... I find him cheezy, skeezy and severely insecure. Most of us are looking to see him get KTFO by Maidana, but I'm here to predict that won't happen. In fact I think he will outbox Maidana easily the whole fight. It doesn't matter that his power didn't seem to carry up against Paulie, Broner has enough boxing skill to completely wash out Maidana who has struggled and lost to the only 3 skilled boxers he has faced. He couldn't even drop Khan, and Khan traded shots in that fight. It is the Maidana hype train that stops here, not the Broner express. Haymon has carefully matched his guy again. I would love to be wrong about this one...but I don't think I will be.
Maidana lost a split decision vs Kotelnik, if that fight is in Argentina he wins, loses to Khan in a fight of the year with biased officiating by Cortez and great Fitness levels by a Prime Khan (He would Ko Khan at WW). Both good fights. He did struggle with Alexander though so i'll give you that. If fights were scored fairly and correctly your post would be saying "Broner has already lost to ESPN level fighter Quintero and Midget SFW Ponce De Leon, ,and just about won a close fight with Feather Fisted, hits like a girl Paulie.what is going to happen when an actual Legit hard punching WW hits him?" Yeah Maidana is limited, but Broner isn't a slick Boxer like Devon, he is flat footed and lacks the activity, Therefore Maidana will get chances to land shots, especially to the body. (some times he literally just stands there and turtles up for 10 seconds without throwing anything back, that would be stupid vs Chino). Broner has to perform to his best to win this fight or he gets knocked out. He has to show more activity and he has to move more because Maidana likes a stationary target. (yes i know Broner does as well, but Maidana hits harder and that could be the difference if this becomes an all out war)
Broner is an easy target. If Paulie had power it would have been game over. You wait and see how Broner handles raw power head on.
You guys doubting Broner are foolish. He's got the skills he's still just raw with it. However I don't like his fluctuation of weight in between fights.
When has Broner ever displayed an improved skill set? His fans are so stuck on the notion that he won't repeat the same mistakes he's made in his previous outings, but yet for some inexplicable reason, he has never even remotely began to solve the deepest holes in his game, and that's the use of footwork and lateral movement. When are Broner fans going to come to terms that it's just too late for someone as old as Broner to make such drastic changes to his game. Broner will always be a flat footed stiff. He was flat footed against PDL, Reese, and in the biggest fight of his young career against a feather fisted Paulie Malignaggi. And if Broner is to somehow make such momentous change to his style, it would certainly entail a much longer time frame than the six month cut off between Malignaggi fight, and the one that is to come against Maidana. But by the looks of it, it certainly seems that he's much more busy hitting up the night clubs and fornicating with second rate prostitutes on video than looking to make ends meet in being victorious against Marcos by rectifying any serious deficiencies in his boxing technique. I say all this as an objective observer of the sport. Not a a racially biased fan as some of you would like to believe. I sense a Douglas-Tyson esque upset in the midst come Dec. 14.
shut the **** up dog. AB is 23 and JUST started working in the gym with the money team roger and floyd sr. both said positive things about his progress after the first day
Refusing to provide me a credible rebuttal towards my statement you filthy mutt? Everything I said was valid. Broner has never improved upon the flaws in his game after every second rate performance he's had when stepping up in competition. This is a FACT! The man is flat footed, relatively inactive is comparison to the man he is facing, and he seems to have not carried his power through the weights. I don't think one training camp with 'The Money Team' will be enough to diminish these weaknesses from Broner's boxing in time for when he has to face Maidana. I've seen footage of him doing mitts with Roger. Not anywhere near as fluid as Floyd, and at times seemed very awkward. And note to self, if you're going to use someone's age as an excuse for their incompetence, at least get it right. He turned 24 less that 4 months ago. Maidana by late round KO
Dog you can doubt #BandCamp all you want, trust me I won't be the one looking stupid come december whatever the **** day it is. Maidana has power no doubt, but what's he gonna do when his slow clubbing punches miss and he gets popped in the face or body with a sharp counter? DeMarco, albeit at a lower weight class, took what 6 rounds? When chino gets that sneaky left hook to the gut he'll be re thinking everything. Breh this aint ****in josesito lopez Can Man is gonna pull a show on Maidana (btw he punches harder than Kahn)
You wished that he punches harder than Khan. But then again, it's only a wish that regardless of any PED use on Broner's part, will never come true. You also wish that Maidana was slow. His speed is very underrated among many, in numerous boxing circles. Maidana has the physical tools to deliver. Broner can stand there in the pocket with his cheap Philly shell impersonation, but that will only serve Maidana well as he will immediately go to the body to deliver hellacious punishment to Broner. And after a few rounds of sustained assault from Chino's already proven knockout power, Broner will be tired and will expose his head for Maidana to go in for the kill. Broner just doesn't have the movement, or punching power to deter Maidana away. It will be a fun night for all the while it last. After Dec. 14 we won't be hearing from Broner's big mouth again. :hi: But unfortunately we have to wait until Dec. 14 for Broner to get his **** pushed in.
