Just re-watched the fight. Broner could have found a soft place to land after the second knockdown... but thanks to the headbutt by Maidana, and his pride, he finished the fight.
To be honest- it was too much weight for him to come up to. Way too much weight.
Broner's a tough motherfucker. People can say what they want about him, but nobody can rightfully say he's a pussy. He took a terrible pounding and kept coming.
He sure did. Certainly not a glass jaw guy. Maidana has stopped supposedly tougher than him, at that weight.Quote:

Proof Broner is a giant PUSSY.
Sorry but the weight thing is a crock. He's bigger then Maidana. He lost cause he's an idiot who thinks he's the reincarnation of Burley.Quote:

Maidana looked flabby ruthless. Broner looked like a full grown welter. I think he weighed in a few under but that does not mean anything most times. Floyd used to weigh 147 the night of a fight at 147
Did pride make him walk around near 170 like a bloated slug downing Twinkies too???
Broner took his beating and got off the canvas, good on him. Welcome to the grind silver spoon.
Congrats Maidana
Broner was trying to copy Floyds style, but Mayweather has better skills and a plan B. Broner needs to get down to 140lb because he is a B level fighter at welterweight who struggled with Paulie, which should have been his first clue that this is not the weight for him.
Haha yeah the fight with Paulie should of told Broners camp that he needs to work more on his craft in the lower weight classesQuote:

Broner is a good to great fighter depending the weight he fights at, but I'm not giving him a pat on the back for getting off the canvas and fighting back.
Hell, that's what we would expect any fighter worth a damn to do. I've been watching Mexican fighters, without a chance in hell of ever breaking into the top ten, doing that since the middle 50s.
You want everyone to forgive and forget, feel sorry for the disrespectful prick, and give him a second chance just for getting off the canvas and continuing to fight.
Fuck that noise! When Broner comes back and if he starts respecting other fighters, the fans and boxing then I'll start showing him some respect.
Yeah but the average fighter isn't going to take 12 rounds of Maidana bombs, flush shots to the head and body, and still be fighting in the last seconds of the fight.Quote:

Broner has not just mental toughness to withstand those shots, but also a physical durability that goes beyond what the average fighter has.
Yes, these are the fighters he should be compared to, putting him in the same sentence with Floyd is just blasphemy.Quote:

Oh, I completely agree with IamInuit, the size excuse is simply lame.
You might believe he has 'special' qualities that lift him above the average fighter, but he looked ordinary against Maidana.Quote:
