Broner chooses immediate rematch with Maidana

[beenKOed]

He's made it loud and clear that he's not going to fight anyone else except for Maidana..

That's exactly what I want to hear from a fighter. It may not be the
smartest move but I like his mentality..

Agreed but I also think it smart.

I think Broner can win the fight if he forgets about standing in front of Maidana while trying to make him miss. Stupid, stupid way to fight!
There was and still is some bad blood between the two camps, I think the fight will happen but I hope Broner is forced to ask politely for it.
Haven't heard a lot from Broner lately (probably licking his wounds) anyway I'm thinking that keeping his mouth shut is almost as bad as getting his ass kicked. LOL
I'd like to see Broner win plus show some respect for Maidana, boxing and the fans. Probably not possible but I can hope.

[Master]

Maidana beats him again but more convincingly.

Maidana beats him again but more convincingly.

Would not bet against that happening.

Hubris is a bad drug. Even Hannibal would agree to that. Falsely attained hubris ala Broners entire attitude is much worse. He either woke up or he didn't. If he cant beat Maidana with his natural ability and style then he needs a different line of work.

[Kirkland Laing]

Broner spent his post fight interviewstrying to get nightclub owners to pay him to make appearances in their clubs. He's not going to take boxing anymore seriously than he was before he lost to Maidana. I think Maidanan beats him again but if Broner is less casual and avoids any knockdowns he stands to get a gift decision in a fight he probably only wins five rounds in max.

[Primo Carnera]

Trooos.. Let's not make Maidana out to be some shotcallin megastar just cuz he beat Broner.. IT's not like he's going to get a shot at Floyd next anyways. Who else besides Broner can give him the kind of spotlight and payday..

Broner is still in the position to call the shots. Not Maidana..

I disagree. There are loads of fights out there for Maidana . He's got a world title and plenty of guys would fancy taking that off him and subsequently land themselves a shot at Mayweather. Even guys like Garcia and Matthyse who would see it as a good way to move up and be relevant. The thing is that Maidana probably wouldn't turn anyone down either. I'm not saying he's a great fighter, he probably will lose, but he's gonna make some money. He don't need Broner , and now Broner has lost , he's a little bit harder to market.

[Rantcatrat]

He is second in line for a Mayweather fight right now, therefore, even if he doesn't get Mayweather right away, he may get him at the end of the year. In addition, he already beat Broner so why take the risk in fighting him again? On the same note, as much as I want to see a rematch between Garcia and Matthysse, I completely understand why Garcia wouldn't face him again. Would a Paulie fight pay him as much as another Broner fight, or close, with less risk? How about a Porter fight? etc. He's not in the driver's seat, but he's got options.

I think this is posturing. Broner will heed Floyd's advice and drop down to 140.

[Spicoli]

I don't think it will happen next and frankly I can't see the network going out of their way to push for it immediatly. Broner is close to burning too many bridges. Even if he some how blasted Maidana in 1 round it would say far more to go in and finally display the ability to adjust and stay consistent, be that 'might be, may be, could be' ring technician and offensive savy boxer over the distance that so many thought he'd be. He needs to show that for once, a new mature approach or he'll be back on some shit rap tour driving the bus.

I hate to even try to remotely critique someone on the level of Bronner but everytime I watch him I feel like he doesnt fight to his true style.

What I mean is he has power and throws sharp combos when he does throw them. Instead of using these tools he tries to work off of his defense and and counter punch with one or two punches like PBF for example. Three punches is alot for Bronner.

Even if he had nice tight defense in the philly he needs to open up more. If I was his coach, I would tell him to work off his jab and throw 4-5 punch combos.

Then again, I dont see him in the gym everyday so maybe they see things I dont.

If it happens and Bronner wins we are looking at a nice trilogy.

[J_Undisputed]

I dont see broner quite in the power position everyone else sees him in. Its nice to call out someone in a rematch and a lot of people will base this on one fight money possibilities. I want to see if he actually wants to go through with this and is willing to take the short stack for the opportunity to avenge the loss. Or is he just talking and then unwilling to negotiate because he still feels hes the draw. He prices himself out by demanding the lions share then claims maidana doesnt want to fight and claims redemption that way. Might be a bucket of cold water on the people that want to see this happen, but its a definite possibility and has happened before in similar instances.

Anyone remember RJJ's dq loss to Griffith. 2 minutes of listening to Griffith talk afterwards was enough to have Roy telling his lawyer/management to get him the rematch no matter what it costs... and then destroying griffith.

Knowing Bronners extremely egotistical personality, the loss likely burns him bad.

Im thinking he wants more of Maidana asap even if its a bad decision.

Im not saying it is a bad decsion, im just saying he likely wants Maidana at all cost.

[Ron Swanson]

2 of the 4 highest rated fights last year had Broner as the A side. Don't be confused, he is most certainly in the power position. He can offer more money than anyone short of Floyd for Maidana. But this definitely could be a play. Broner can't continue his act if he runs away to a different weight class. But if Maidana "refused" the fight Broner is free to do whatever. And Maidana still has many options. This could just be a work. We'll know soon enough

[jon09]

I say go for it and put it on the Mayweather ppv in May and if Maidana beats him again it will pave the way for Mayweather vs Maidana in September.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Do people actually want to see a one sided beatdown in Floyd-maidana? Such a weak fight..

[Hulk]

The loss is a bit like Vernon Forrests 2 losses to Mayorga.
I think Maidana will beat him again.

Im not going say robbery but mayorga didnt deserve the nod in the rematch..

Bullshit. Vernon ran and fought scared the whole second fight, Mayorga made the fight and deserved the victory.


Seeking an immediate rematch after a definitive loss rarely works out for boxers, Mosley tried it against Forrest then against Winky, lost those 4. Vernon lost twice to Mayorga. As Lyle mentioned, David Price tried it against Tony Thompson.
