    All I hope, for the good of boxing is that broner loses , don't get me wrong I think he is good but a loss would stop the pantomime surrounding him. Maidana handled the speed of khan, broner has not really taken a heavy shot yet and at some point in the fight his chin will be tested for the first time, I for one hopes that he gets hammered.

    I'm going with Broner points and Thurma KO as my double. I think Broner has to much skills for Maidana, Marcos is to slow and i think the body punches of Broner might play a key role. I reckon Maidana will at some point have Broner in some trouble but i fancy Broner to pull through, also i think points because i have my doubts that Broner has the power at Welterweight to stop a tough nut like Maidana. Broner to win a clear 116- 112 type UD.

    I think Broner wants people to think he's not dedicated.All reports say he is one of the hardest workeing boxers around.

    Offcourse he gets out of hand in his free time but most boxers do.

    I'm surprised by how split the poll is. Broner by KO rounds 6-8 for me.

    Chino by KO, Broner winning a UD is possible but i will go for Chino by devastating KO, brutal loss for Broner.

    I can't see Broner stopping Maidana, harder hitter have dropped Maidana but he gets up and fights even better. broner might not even have the power at 147 to hurt Maidana and if that is the case it will make Chino's night a bit easier.

    Its 70/30 in broner favor HA. broner is getting overrated here yes he might win but he has questions about his movement, activity and punching power at 147. the funny thing is a lot of people will be shocked if Maidana Ko's him but i wouldn't be at all.

    Broner ain't fighting Rees,Paulie,De leon,Quintero,Rodriguez, Perez, or even De Marco this time, This is a hard hitting WW who if Broner doesn't throw more and move more he will get hurt, dropped and stopped.

    70/30 fair shout didn't look at it closely enough that's probably about right. Maidana is nothing special though he can leave himself way open and has been dropped plenty of times. He hasn't beaten anyone when it mattered. Broner can be lazy but from what he had to say in the build up to this fight I can see him being way more active than his previous 2 fights.

    I believe once he lets go on Maidana he will floor him. Maidana may get up the first time but will be caught again.

    Whichever way it goes I think it should be a lively fight.

    I also think Chino will taste the canvas (well that is if Broner has power at 157, he is in trouble if he doesn't IMO), but he gets up and mans up, what happens if Broner gets dropped?, does he fade and gets stopped or does he show toughness and heart?.

    Yes i agree, its going to be very lively, could turn into a war. Enjoy it.

    Hasn't Maidana just recently moved up in weight too ? Not sure he has proved he has power at 147 either.

    Sorry meant 147 not 157 Ha but Maidana has 4 fights at WW (Broner only 1 vs light hitting Pauline) and has 3 stoppages (Karras is very durable, Maidana was the first to drop him), he was awful vs Devon on his WW debut but has changed trainer and has improved his game and he is in better shape these days.

    after the maliniaggie fight nearly every one said broner cant beat a good powerful welter now after the hype machine and propaganda has most people thinking he will win and be a good welter. like khans PR they can get people to believe anything.
    I fancy chino by stoppage mid rounds. and maidana has proved power at welter he stopped karas and lopez both good fighters and karas is duruable

    Can't agree with you on Lopez being a good fighter. He is no where near top level. I guess we will see later. I'm far from a Broner fan but see him winning tonight. If I'm wrong so be it I'll be happy to see a good scrap with Maidana winning.
