Broner and Alexander are nothing alike, Alexander uses his footwork moves around the ring clinches ETC, where as Broner has a wide stance hardly uses his legs. And stays in the pocket, and because Broner does stay in the pocket and doesn't use his legs it makes him more vulnerable to someone like Maidana.
Alexander is also a Southpaw and that might of thrown Maidana off somewhat, i also thought Maidana looked a little flat in the Alexander fight. I think it was his first fight at Welterweight ? i think he's adjusted to the weight better and looks better. He's also showing a bit more boxing skill actually using a jab.
Yeah it was boths first welter fight and both have gotten better at the weight. Any come forward fighter is going to make Broner look good if he isn't having a off night. Broner is being so hyped by the network that people are doubting his skills. I feel,like Maidana will try to pressure Broner and will take damage trying to get inside and once he's inside Broner has the inside game to hang in with Maidana, Lucas knocks his head off but I don't view Maidana as a threat.
This would be great to see! Maidana is actually using his jab now, and between the two frankly he looks to be the one who has brought his punch. Broner has a stand in style and is not the easiest guy to miss. Maidana would not be some cro mag head hunter and while Broner has decent hand speed a guy can do serious body work between his delivery where he anchors himself a lot. Thats where he'll focus. Is he some backfoot speedster with multiple gears simply keeping it in reserve...I don't buy that for a minute. If Broner "blows out" a proven wrecking ball while so far showing to be within distance and based on what he has shown up till now...I'll eat my shoes. Maidana has been buzzed by more than a few guys but Broner gets hit and squares on his heels. He has yet to show a mentality or even sponge a shot remotely close to what Maidana has.

Broner starts the fight with a noticeable speed advantage and is counterpunching Maidana to bits but Maidana keeps on coming and turns it into a war. Probably Broner wins a closer than expected points decision but such is my dislike of Broner I'm probably going to pick Maidana by KO.
Khan showed alot of movement and held on for dear life when up against Maidana but Broner really isn't that type of fighter.
Maidana has a very good chance to knock broner out..
It's about styles and I think Khan can beat Broner as well..
Its a good match up keep the kid fighting just limit his press releases its getting boring!! More consentration on fighting and less theatrical BS!! He's a terrible actor! Ray
Good fight if they can make it, hope Maidana wins this by being too strong and aggressive for Broner.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
