Broner had no answer for that awkward left hook. His defense is all upper body movement. He does not move his feet enough. I hope he has started making changes in that area. Otherwise, the blueprint is set. Maidana put him in awkward positions and threw hard shots from unusual angles. Broner is not quite at the level to have taken that fight. Just shy of it...but, not there yet.
He beat Broner on activity more than not. The knockdowns just cemented the deal. At the end of the day, power is natural. All taking out the padding would do is open more cuts and cause severe swelling
See I wanted Mayweather to fight Khan and Maidana vs Broner 2 on the undercard so to get rid of both of them in the same night.
Yes, he would have beaten Broner without the smelling salts that Ariza stuck under his nose. Broner is a flat footed, stationary target who was there to be hit all night long. Some idiots were comparing him to Mayweather because he does a poor impression of Floyd's shoulder roll, but he's far more similar in style and skill level to Andre Berto.
Broner no problem anymore problem solved the guy was tagged and caught off guard learn morons Maidana hits you with "proper" padding and your head spins except for those whose heads r made of concrete like yours Maidana is hitting thin air tonight tho
Only way maidana can beat Mayweather is if Lil Wayne sneaks a quart of his cough syrup in Floyd's drink before fight time.
You mean cheating by beating him the hell up for the entire 12 round fight and making him look like a complete idiot? If so, then no your right.
