Dan Rafael ‏@danrafaelespn 10min According to Schaefer, @AdrienBroner has picked up his right to a rematch with @ChinoMaidana. He said rematch likely in April on @SHOsports
like i predicted. no way maidana fights floyd when broner came out many times he wants maidana and no other. between broner and floyd, i think showtime starts to lean on broner now. he is their future. it is commendable to say the least given he is going after the guy who kicked his ass. this is what the fans want from the fighters, not some diva ducking **** saga for years.
I think Maidana wins another decision. They exploited Broner's lack of defense and they'll pressure even more now. Broner can't win this decision by running or throwing 3 punches per round.
Broner will do alot better this time. When he was letting his hands go, he controlled the fight. He needs to be super Broner in this one.
Big up Broner for taking the immediate rematch but April?? Wtf?? That's way too soon after the beating he took. I think June or July would have been better. Good long rest then a looong camp to work on everything try need to e footwork, head movement, being more active.
I said before the fight that Maidana wins it guaranteed if Broner fights shelled, flat footed, and the way he had in his previous 3 fights. Feel the same about a rematch. I'm glad it's happening but I think it would have made a lot more sense to have them each against different top 10 WW's, especially for Broner's sake. Respect to him for taking the rematch, though.
