Broner chooses immediate rematch with Maidana

[Lefty08]

Wants to be present for the birth of his daughter and spend time with his family. That's more than legitimate, Broner isn't worth it to miss that.

Even if he wins, nobody is going to let him forget that first fight. That's the way it's going to be for the rest of his career.

A good, dominant win will erase that. At the end of the day, people have short memories and love to get behind winners. If he beats Maidana's ass, especially if he stops him, he can make people forget the first fight.

Can't agree, Broner's disrespect and trash talking really pissed the fans off.
In 15 or 20 years, maybe. I still have a strong dislike for Ali after 50 years. Piss on Ali forever.

What upset you about ali and makes you want to urinate over him forever?

I really started disliking Broner with all his sh-t talk going into his fight with Perez he was becoming a prospect-contender I was interested in I was actually excited by his pre-fight antics & tense entourage stand-offs but he took it way to far and just became annoying

I'm glad Broner is taking the immediate rematch he proved in the first fight he can fight, take a punch and still has potential

Its all about where he goes from here. A dominant win over Maidana or KO followed by a win or two over fellow contenders and the drums will start beating again

I remember watching him on ESPN when he was coming up too and back then his level of confidence was that, and I liked him then. When he became arrogant and disrespectful is what did it in for me. He's young and I agree does have talent, he definitely has a future in the sport. A lot is riding on this rematch, drama!

Will be fun to watch it unfold. I just hope the loss has humbled him I think he makes for good against the top guys around the weight

He proved his defence is rubbish, he can't throw a lot of punches in a fight and he isn't a massive puncher at the weight. I think most guys on here would back Thurman and Garcia to beat him and Mayweather to clown him. He's going to be in some interesting and entertaining fights in his career but he's never even going to be the top guy in the welterweight division, never mind a top pound for pound guy.

I agree but I think he would be competitive in those bouts & it's not a forgone conclusion as to the winner It wasn't all one way traffic for Maidana I think if Broner is fully committed & doesn't overlook an opponent he can be difficult for most all guys around the weight he definitely has to work on things but I'm interested to see how he comes back
