    They were prejudiced against Mikey and Maidana. Those were two different fights, Mikey by technique, Maidana by brawling.................

    It depends which way you look at it really, Maidana's performance was more impressive in the sense that Broner was so higley rated at time people were talking about him being the next Mayweather, 99% of people gave Maidana no chance in hell of winning yet he came out and beat up Broner but the fight was still very competitive at parts and Broner won some rounds. Garcia's performance was more impressive in the sense that he completely outboxed and schooled Broner to a virtuall shut out, Broner didn't win a single clearly but then this was after Broner had been exposed and beaten fairly decisively twice already and I'd say about 95% of people picked Garcia to win but not as effortless as he did.

    It just comes down to preference, whether you prefer a beating or a boxing lesson.

    Garcia and broner both landed 31%, broner must be kicking himself for hardly throwing

    Maidana's win at the time was more meaningful, it was an upset, and he gave Broner the ultimate comeuppance of a beatdown. Garcia put on the much more impressive, fuller display of boxing skill, almost won every round, and schooled and embarrassed Broner... which makes it clearly the better performance.

    As of Maidana didn't win almost every round or display boxing skill.

    I didn't say Maidana didn't show skill at all, just that Mikey obviously put on the "more impressive, fuller display" of skill. And yeah Maidana won almost as many rounds as Mikey so with the knockdowns won with the greater margin of victory and therefore probably had the more 'dominant' win, but not to me the better PERFORMANCE.

    A pickup at full speed vs a Ferarri in third gear equals roughly the same thing, but you can still be more impressed by the style of the latter.
