foh with that bull****.... ruslan's made great strides since his fnf days.... i think you *****s and *******s would agree..... he's not the same guy who lost to herrera..... a better trainer, improvements in technique, and diet etc.... the same exact thing applies to 'chino'.... tactics, technique, conditioning of an elite fighter make a huge difference.....
Maidana made the EXACT ****ing same mistakes against broner When AB didn't act like a dumb inbred moron and stand wide stance in front of him Maidana made the exact same mistake against khan And morales What in Flying **** can maidana possibly do with such limited boxing ability
Maidana is far from perfect and he does make mistakes but it would seem to me that it is AB who made the crucial mistakes and it was Khan who was running for his life at the end of the fight. Maidana has improved greatly since his lost to Khan and has been knocking people out since then.
Maidana hasn't improved much. Look at his last few fights. Getting rocked by Lopez. Getting schooled by Alexander. All he did was beat an unproven, overhyped fighter at 147. Broner isn't even Top10 at 147. At least Provo showed his improvements by showing his caliber against guys like a proven Bradley and knocking out a good fighter in Alvarado.
Maidana got shutout by Alexander. Provodnikov arguably beat Bradley. The same bradley who schooled Alexander.
Alexander was his first fight at welter, every fight since then has been an improvement. Yeah, he was rocked by Lopez but he stopped Lopez. Broner is just as good as Alvarado and while Prov showed his caliber with Bradley, he still lost. For my money, Maidana knocks out all three.
You wish. Bradley schools Maidana. Provo has a better chin and a superior offense. He would kick Maidana's ass and knock him out. The only guy I can see Maidana beating is Alvarado and even that's a toss up. Maidana is not that good. He's been overrated after the Broner fight. And he's near the bottom of the top 10 guys at 147.
