Na, i believe Pauli4e, he feel out with Hatton and Khan before their fights and still said after the fight that they hurt him. It doesn't mean he won't have power vs Maidana though. Different styles and Broner might carry his power better in his 2nd fight at 147.
Yep... Broner only has 2 fights at 135.....0 at 140...and 1 at WW. To make a big deal about his power in light of what he has already accomplished is nittpicky and trifling.
I agree, speed and Maidana's lack of defense might increase his power anyway, maidana though we know hits hard so it is important that Broner gets his respect because otherwise Maidana will take punches just to land his own, He is a tough ****er no doubt. I'm torn on this fight, can't make a confident prediction. One punch from either (especially maidana could change the fight) but i am looking forward to it.
Neither Broner nor Maidana are elite, but I'd favor Broner based on their styles. Maidana has had to dig deep and looked vulnerable at times in his last few fights against gatekeepers. Lopez had him hurt with a body shot, but didn't take advantage. On the other hand, Broner's defense is vastly overrated and Maidana is the hardest puncher he's faced, so it will be interesting to see how he'll react to the Argentino's punches.
i believe broner has legit power even vs paulie i kno he was ringing paulies ears and i kno broner coulda gotten him outta there but he was sticking to the script instead going for the kill which he never committed to like kill like ive seen him do before. really tough fight to call. maidana has looked better each and each outing and fighting quality fighters in the process. soto karass and lopez. lets see what maidanas gameplan is. is it just to apply relentless pressure on broner? cuz if maidana comes in here ready and in shape .. and if he can take broners punch .. its on
who are you to dertermine who is "elite" Name ONE fighter at 147 besides Mayweather w/ better defense than Broner:think Anybody with 'El' in their name can't say shi.t about defense.:rofl
Paulie never stopped moving that's why he didn't get KO'd.. Malinaggi fought Broner like he was in the ring with a grizzly bear.
Bam Bam's opinion holds very little weight, he is a Garcia fighter so of course he is going to say that he has Miadana. Take what team Garcia says with a grain of salt, I saw a vid where Robert Garcia was explaining why he thinks Chavez jr beat Vera, also other vids on how Rios schooled Abril etc. I know every trainer has to back up their fighters (example how Nacho says JMM got robbed lol). O and also how Donaire was robbed against Rigo lol. I really do hope Midana ko's him though :-(
If Maidana was to KO Broner I would do the happy dance:rofl:shock: This will be a good fight and hey if AB lets his guard down Maidana could, maybe just maybe pull a JMM/ PAC on his shoulder roll ass bro:nut :smoke
All right....all right....ALL RIGHT YOU GONE LEARN TODAY:rofl:rofl Sorry....it was a Kevin Heart moment :good :smoke
