Yeah his shoulder roll is as bad as Berto's Thing is Berto actually had power so if he did finally counter you he could put your lights out, Broner doesnt have that power
He's so young, he should've been a little more logical with his move up in weightclasses and he should've campaigned a little bit longer after the Dimarco fight at 135 and than eventually make his way up to 140. He probably thought he could be a force at WW after beating the most featherfisted WW titlist there was in Paulie. This fight hopefully will show this guy some humility and make him recognize that he should be fighting between LW and JWW for the next year or 2 and let his body fill out properly into a WW by the time he's around 26. And he needs to start increasing his punch output a lot more. That's his 2nd fight in a row where he's thrown less punches than his opposition. He needs to be busier on the offensive end.
Some fighters are never the same after a vicious beating. AB took A LOT of punishment in this fight. Can he return to top form? I'm dubious. He was exposed badly. Any top fighter will know how to beat him. Guerrero, Garcia, Ortiz, Thurman, Pacquiao, even Malignaggi in a rematch all beat him.
I hate Broner, but he actually bit down and survived a huge beat down. Yeah, he's an *******, with a huge fake ego, but he never really quit and trust me, most fighters in his position today would find a way out. Maidana brought some nasty ass punches into the ring tonight. This is the kind of fight that either ends you as a fighter or can make you stronger.
1st 3 round round bronner shouldve used as feel out rounds, chinos arkward punches threw AB off alittle, his defense got alot better as fight went on with the exception of him blocking jab to body with right hand. Bronner is one of most talented fighters only a fool would rule him out.. watch the 2 knockdowns he hurt when he drops right hand trying to stop a striaght body punch. He didnt get hurt because he has a terrible chin (not saying his is great but not that bad) but hes hurt because he doesnt see the punch, in his head its going to body thats why he drops hand and gets caught, punches you dont see really hurt you. SO much AB can do, im not smartest man so im sure they will see his mistake and correct them.. He can stay at welter, He wont be the GOAT cuz no one is mayweather. People are faster stronger but no one can think and adjust like him. But AB will have a great career and will beat chino in a rematch
I truly hope he will bounce back but I didn't like what he did after that head but. He kinda acted like he was looking for a way out. That's when I felt Maidana had broken him. That was a man move by Maidana and that should have lit a fire in Broner but it didn't. He didn't quit but it was over at that point cause Maidana knew he had him.
maybe he was looking for way out if thats the case then thats not a good sign for his future. But i took it as he got knocked down and wanted a break, after that he showed no signs of wanting out, he fought with pride, so I think he was trying to use time and make sure legs were under him
I agree that was a big turning point ! AB was coming back until then I think his soccer style diving ruined his momentum lol
He just didnt learn, Floyd wasnt the way he was until he more or less earned it, and got gassed up on some low tier victories. It was almost so easy for him he (and his handlers) crowned him. To quote Denny Green, Maidana was who we thought he was
