    I was really surprised by this.

    Broner walked forward w/ a high guard on many occasions against Mikey and even Maidana. Broner pressed forward in the late rounds against both guys and did very good work. He hurt both Mikey and Maidana in the championship rounds with body and head shots. On Saturday night, the late rounds turned into a legit track meet w/ Pacquiao chasing.

    There was also no urgency from him to stay off the ropes whereas against Pacquiao, his game plan involved never being against the ropes. Against Mikey and Maidana, he waited there at times hoping to counter. Broner knew that it would be suicide to invite Pacquiao in to rip off combos.

    Broner also didn't bother with ANY of his antics. In the first round, they got tangled and Broner ended up hugging Pacquiao from behind. You can see Broner almost try to hump Pacquiao (like in the Maidana fight), but he stopped just as he initiated it. Broner was in survival mode from the opening bell. There was also no head shaking and smiling after he got hit. Instead, there was the fear of God (on God, nem!) on his face.

    Can it be that Pacquiao hits harder than both Mikey and Maidana? Pacquiao hurt Broner more than Mikey and Maidana ever did and Broner was legit running the whole fight.

    Broner probably really believed he had the fight in the bag after eight rounds and then simply coasted to victory.

    "I beat that boy." Smfh.

    Look, I dislike Broner immensely, but the guy has PROVEN time and time again that he's not a quitter. Survival mode is just that — surviving a fight because the guy opposite you is hurting you. He turned it up against Maidana and Mikey. Against Maidana, he could have easily stayed down after the second KD.

    And he could have easily quit against Pacquiao from the brutal body shot that folded him in half in the fourth round. The slow mo replay was amazing — you saw Broner's face wince, his mouth fly open, and then the look of pain and fear filled his eyes. It was almost like the GGG-Stevens KD where Stevens looked like he saw a ghost.

    Collecting a paycheck is when a guy is not in any danger and he's still just cruising and surviving. Broner was legitimately hurt by almost every shot that Pac landed.

    Bro before fighting Pacquiao broner lost 4 fights that wasn't close at all. His last lost was embarrassing one vs mikey Garcia. Broner clearly didn't had any confidence after that embarrassing lost to Garcia. I could make an argument that broner is the 11 or 12th round quit trying vs Garcia cause he should know he needs a knockout to win but he didn't go for it. Broner I think knows he ain't beating Pacquiao in which if he can just go to distance? He'll win in his own mind and get the easiest biggest pay day ever.

    Broner was almost out on his feet in the 7th and 9th round... Could have easily quit.

    Again he was there to survive. He didn't want to be stopped by a 40 year old. He rather lose to a 40 year old on the scorecard.

    Broner might not be a quitter but his offense shuts down when his opponent can hit him often. So he isn't quitting but he's also just surviving and not trying. Side effects from the Maidana fight. He actually tried in that fight even though he was getting hit.

    Agreed, he was in survival mode from round one! Judging by the evidence, he was there to go the distance and nothing more.

    There is no way Broner can think hes winning a fight and not taunt his opponent. Theres only one logical explanation.
