    Lets just say.. the rematch will be a close fight and Maidana doesn't knock Broner down.

    Do you think the judges will give it to Broner since he is suppose to be the next big thing in boxing?

    Didn't look like they were trying to give him the fight the first time round, was surprised how wide the scorecards were in Maidanas favour. This time out shouldn't be any different

    Fo sho.

    He 'murican, naw mean?

    That's why i bet all my e-moneys on him, it looked totally unrealistic a decision would have been given to Maidana, and Maidan couldn't stop Khan.

    Unfortunately, Adriana was way worst than it was predictable.
    Well, thinking again, he lost to Ponce de Leon and others, already.

    A lot of peoples still think he's the next big thing. And they'll always find excuse if he won't.

    Scorecards in their 1st fight were 100% spot on. Don't see why a rematch would end up otherwise.

    They wont be able to rob him when he keeps rocking Broner

    He needs at least 1 knockdown though to be safe

    Absolutely Maidana will be robbed if it goes the distance this time around.GBP and Showtime wants Broner and could care less about Maidana.

    This, Broner will have to be more aggressive this time though which will equal a Maidana KO anyway so its all good. AB getting his ass beat again.

    The first fight was too wide to give it to Adrian, the OP is saying if it's a close fight.

    It probably won't be close, because if its close than Broner has done better than i think he will, there's always the chance of a robbery thought, this is Boxing ha so Maidana better destroy him again like in the first.

    If i'm honest i expected Maidana to be robbed in the first fight. After watching how much **** the ref allowed Broner to get away with, and with Broner still standing at the final bell i expected a robbery, and i said as much at the time in IB's RBR thread.
    To be fair to the judges, they gave the fight to the right man, although i did have the scores a bit wider than they did.
    This still doesn't rule out a robbery in a rematch though.

    I don't think the judges will be needed in a rematch, i fully expect a fresh Maidana to steam roll Broner and finish him before the midway point.
    I don't believe Broner will be a different fighter, he would need to be more mobile, more defensive, and more active, and i just don't see this happening, if he is more offensive in the early rounds he's more likely to leave himself open to Chino's bombs.
    Maidana by KO/TKO inside 6 rounds.

    Why rob maidana? He beat Broners ass. Broner has to show that he deserves to be robbed. The first scores weren't even close. Even Broner thought that Haymon would save him this fight lmao which is why he left the ring in disgust.

    I don't see Haymon "saving" anybody.

    He didn't save Trout or Mathysse...or any of his other fighters that have lost on the cards.

    Yeah if Broner is more aggressive he will get stopped

    Maidana took a few rounds off because he could afford to so Broner came forward, if Broner tries to come forward from the start hes gonna get stopped
