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.
I wasn't making a comment on his overall performance, which I feel was pretty shameful given all the shit he talked.
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.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

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 to
me.

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.
