Broner doesn't seem to have carried his power up from 130/135 to 140/147.

I must say this is a very brave fight for Broner to take, especially after the ass whipping Maidana gave him. I just don't see him getting the job done.
Whatever you want to say about Broner, he's got a lot of heart. He took some harsh punches from Maidana and lasted until the bell.
I was one of the few guys here defending Broner and saying he's got heart, so it's no diss to Broner, Adrien is a tough motherfucker no matter how obnoxious he is, the guy has a fighter's heart.

But heart only takes you so far, you need to have the smarts to go along with it and laying on the ropes just isn't fighting smart. Even in his Saturday fight, even though he won convincingly that fight was a lot closer than it should have been. Adrien has a ton of natural athletic ability, like Berto, he just needs to get his head on right and find his own style instead of trying to be a Mayweather clone.
