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:

He recovers pretty fast, thats the ability to stay in the moment. A good sign he can survive big punches but doesn't look like he can actually box like Floyd when he needs to. He sure can posture like Floyd though, too bad that does him little good when guys like Maidana comes in to take his head off.
The toddler walk by Broner will likely be more remember than his whole career. I know his only 24 but he better box his ass off to avoid being dub toddler walk. This fight should reminds us anything can happen in boxing. I doubt anybody saw Maidana doing this to Broner.
Broner got fucked up and the head butt played no part what so ever in that, in fact it was embarrassing the way he hit the floor and started play acting-looking for a deduction, lets face it, if he had held onto Maidana repeatedly spoiling and holding his arms the butt wouldnt have happened and a whole lot more hurt served up!!Quote:

I wasn't making a comment on his overall performance, which I feel was pretty shameful given all the shit he talked.Quote:

But the ability to absorb punishment and keep going goes beyond what a normal fighter has. Not saying he's the toughest guy ever, not saying he's the second coming of Jake Lamotta, just saying the average fighter wouldn't have been there in the 12th round after absorbing so many shots from Maidana. Anyone who doesn't agree doesn't know shit about boxing.
Broner needs to up his punch out put as much as James DeGale needs to be more aggressive and crisper with his punches.
What I'm saying is that I've been watching fighters for years and years, who never had any thoughts of being a champion, do exactly what Broner did against Maidana. Then they'd come back a month later and do it again! Broner stayed in there trying to win but it didn't look like anything out of the ordinary toQuote:

Headbutt is beside the point. That doesn't change the fact that he showed balls when shit got real.Quote:

Put it like this, Tito. Fighters like Broner fights back under adversity whereas your idol Cotto folds when the kitchen gets hot. He got on his knees against Margarito in a fight where he was leading on the cards and ran like a hoe when Pacman put it on him.
Broner is a clown but he's still a down ass niga.

Whatever that means, twat.
You're so obsessed with Cotto you've become the pathetic butt of Saddo jokes.
I'll discuss boxing with you when you stop posting threads about lusting for your sister, and having wet dreams about your elementary school teacher.
Whatever makes you feel better, Tito. lol Everybody knows you obsess over Mexican figters like Chavez Jr out of envy. You have this inferiority complex and can't stop talking about Mexicans...Quote:

I think its getting lost in the platform and high visibility that was afforded Broner that this happens every single weekend to far lesser known pluggers who display just as much durability and 'balls', all on varying levels. Guys take beatings...some carry on, some fold. Most you never hear of or remember them only for that. Broner doesn't get an 'S' on his chest or a special place above them.Quote:
