    Freddy called it on 24/7.
    Not that this was anything new but it sure made me second guess my prediction on Maidana VS Broner:huh

    Rios is tough and out of the same camp as Maidana:roll:
    Brandon showed better boxing skills in his last fights than he did with Manny. I think it shows most people freeze on the big stage for the first time and Rios was outclassed.
    I still say Maidana brings more heat to Broner than Rios did to Manny.

    War MAIDANA.....

    picking maidana to win is based off thinking he'll land big on broner and get him out of there.can't be based on anything else.

    In my best Larry Merchant voice:

    "I've seen Adrien Broner, and he's no Manny Pacquiao"

    There's a big difference between Maidana and Rios. Maidana knows how to get his punches off. He set traps. If Broner don't come correct, it's gonna be a long night.

    Maidana is a lot better than Rios imo, hits harder and has mixed up his game in the past few fights, he won't freeze against Broner at all, Broner is getting that chin checked on the 14th, and I think there's a strong possibility he's packing glass.

    Purely "tough guys" only do not attain P4P status.
