If Broner hadn't garnered so much disdain prior to the fight, I would have liked him after this fight. Theatrics and malingered aside he put up a scrappy fight. He didn't look that good through most of it but he was entertaining. I don't understand his lack of output. Same thing with his Paulie fight. He had Paulie backing up through the fight but didn't take advantage often. I have to say I did feel kind of bad when people were throwing cups and whatnot at Broner as he scampered away
I sort of feel the same. I hated the Mayweather comparisons because I don't think they fit which led me to hate on this kid. And he gave plenty more reasons to hate that night from flopping to pushing to running from the ring. But much more significant to me is that he was game.Quote:

Broner sold himself well. I always wanted to see him fight as I wanted to see him lose. He took it too far and actually had a group of people hating him. At least we won't have to see him on ppv which I wouldn't have done anyway. I am relatively confident the same thing will happen in a rematch but Maidana will probably do it as he will stand to make good change. If Broner had stayed in the ring for a post fight interview and acted a bit humble it probably would have done much to gain a bit of respect. I attribute Broners poor performance to that ridiculous rap tour he went on. Just a thought, plus the fact he wasn't anywhere near an elite fighter
