He's got a lot to work on but the upside is there, and he can beat some good fighters and be an interesting addition to whatever division he's going to compete in.
    Maidana was mainly hurt by the sucker punch though, that ruined his 12th. Broner is ballsy for sure though. I was more concerned in the 5th and 6th when he appeared to be getting some rhythm. Really, you have to wonder why Broner was fast tracked to WW. Not really worth it in the end.

    Yea could be, I watched it on a stream that got a bit choppy so couldn't tell how long after the bell that actually was. I was pretty annoyed by the constant raking with elbows and theatrics, but that's boxing and he wasn't getting warned much. Maidana was definitely wearing out and hurt in the 11th though, if Broner wasn't such a spoonfed asshole people would just be talking about what a good fight that was.

    Was definitely an entertaining fight and had my full attention from beginning to end. I was anxious during the middle rounds too.
    Broner made a mistake going to WW, it's as simple as that, in my opinion.

    Another rewatch down. He is so so heavy on his feet, his defence is really only from the waist up...feet in front of everything and standing straight with head high and easily knocked out of position. He needs to retool his basics and fundamentals or I honestly don't see him having an extended career at all.

    I didn't see Maidana on the verge or gassed at all in 12th, both were hit clean and Broner ate a left that stiffened him. He was also warned harshly (again) there, and got a clear pass for hitting Maidana after the bell in 11th.

    It could have been worse. His trainer could have got tired of being talked to like a dog and wrapped the towel around Broner's neck and choked him before the last round.
    Broner is too square up to use his shoulder effectively- his left hip and shoulder are too open- or to get turned on a right hand. I noticed in the last round that he was punching with loose wrists, maybe because he was tired, or maybe it is something he does a lot and I just didn't think to look for it.

    You noticed he was being disrespectful to his trainer?

    Yea to all his corner, I noticed a few times. He'd be telling the to chill out, get the fuck out of the ring etc, just didn't want to hear anything. I don't know who trains him though and there was a total lack of urgency in there when he was way behind, so maybe they don't deserve much respect.

    Well in the only instance I remember in his corner, Broner was goin "I know I gotta dog him" and his trainer was telling him "You gotta knock him out"

    Surprising that the geniuses wearing Clinton and Nixon masks during the walk in weren't of more help during the fight

    He does get a little slappy. I think alot of it is because he is out of position too. Either inside with flat feet or leaves them there..wide..while his torso tries to lean back, twist and defend. The shoulder thing is just lipstick on the pig really. Almost like his body is working against itself, not unified.

    Yeah man just rewatched it as well in way better quality. Maidana wasn't in nearly as bad shape towards the end as I thought watching live, must've just been my nerves running high. He actually won the 11th for me and was only really buzzed once in the 12th. The headbutt in the 8th was nothing also, it looked way worse to me the first time. Maidana simply lodged his head under Broners to try and free his arms up since Broner was holding on for dear life. The delayed reaction going down from Broner was a crock of shit and he wanted out of the fight at that moment. I don't know that there is a whole lot for Broner to retool, he is so set in trying to use that shell and he really won't get away with it because his feet are cinder blocks as you say.
