Broner-Maidana is no longer PPV.. GBP's Christmas present

[armin]

Maidana should be tailor made for broner but honestly if gavin rees can tag ya so can maidana, so hopefully broner doesn't tighten up his defense and eats one he doesn't seem comin but don't see it happenin.

With Broner I think with Broner he needs to have a bit longer in his own weight class to hone his craft before moving up, I feel he's made a move for the money too early by fighting at welterweight.

this kinda reminds me of mayweater v gatti. i think that might be what golden boy sees as well. but broner ain't floyd and marcos ain't arturo... hopefully it ends differently.

i feel like both fighters are fighting a bad style for them. maidana has a hard time with speed and broner has a hard time with pressure. i will go out on a limb and say that maidana is the one who overcomes the adversity.

Broner is about 180 at the minute. He's not living the life and if he doesn't take Maidana seriously he could lose. He's only had one fight above 135 and that was Paulie. He hasn't exactly had his chin checked at 147 and he's going in with a guy who can punch. Maidana is going to be looking at how out of shape Broner is and thinking about tickling those ribs.

There is no way Broner will fight Maidana the way he fought Rees. There will be plenty of separation for most of the fight.

Maidana is a tough dude, but styles make fights. Maidana is a mauler who leaves himself open. In my opinion, this is a fight to make Broner look good after the sour taste left in people's mouths from his last fight. I think they'll stay away from boxers for a while with Broner. As far as outcomes, I could see something comparable to Alexander - Urango.

This means they could not sell it as a ppv fight so making out they are doing us a favour. Cunts.

When did Maidana suddenly become considered a pushover? He's a dangerous guy with a lot of wallop behind his punch.

The last few fights, all anyone could talk about was how Broner was fighting guys (Rees and Paulie) who he knew couldn't punch worth a shit and wouldn't be able to hurt him. Now he's fighting p4p one of the nastiest bangers in the sport who is also a legit top 10 WW, and people are still talking shit.

I'm not saying Maidana is a Pacquaio, Bradley or Mayweather. But come on, he's not a pushover, especially for a guy like Broner who loves to stand in the pocket and throw bombs himself.

This is a potential great action fight for free... stop complaining!

Broner was talking all of that stuff about only fighting on ppv from here on in. GTFOOH!!!

[p4pking]

Good deal, I wouldn't think of buying that on PPV but it's still a nice fight. Broners going to look good here imo, could even be a DeMarco type showing. He's not going to have to look for Maidana, he'll be able to get set and let his hands go to the body. The guy reminds me vaguely of Canelo as much as anyone else in truth, maybe I'm nuts there but he's not great on his feet and needs to plant them to get off, kind of punches in a shell etc. Still don't see Maidana winning this though, Broner can hurt him and will tee off.

nowt wrong with maidanas display against alexander, alexander held all the way through the fight and should have been dq'd

You know I'd agree, if Maidana didn't seem grateful to enter the clinches himself half the time. He was kept on a leash for almost that entire fight, Alexander did some good work when he wasn't holding and MM didn't really do anything much at all. I think Broner is a really good infighter and will exploit the range Maidana needs to get off, hoping for a good fight though.

War Maidana.
