Broner-Maidana

By Allan Fox: WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s0 will be making his first defense of his title this Saturday on December 14th against #2 WBA Marcos Maidana (34-3, 31 KO’s) in a fight that could tell us a lot about whether Broner has the talent to become a huge star in the sport. If Broner fails this test then he’ll need to go back down to 135 if wants to continue to find success in the sport.

Broner isn’t the type that would be satisfied with just being a contender in the welterweight division. He fancies himself as following in the footsteps of his idol Floyd Mayweather Jr., and he’s someone that would never fail a test against the likes of Marcos Maidana.

By Dan Ambrose: Former WBA light welterweight champion Marcos Maidana (34-3, 31 KO’s) likes his chances against WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) in their fight on December 14th. Maidana sees Broner as being an untested fighter against a real welterweight like himself. Broner has one win at welterweight against Paulie Malignaggi, but that was against a small welterweight who started his career as a light welterweight.

Maidana feels that him being a legitimate welterweight is going to be too much for the pumped up super featherweight Broner in this fight when they meet up at the Alamodome on Saturday night in San Antonio, Texas.

By Dan Ambrose: WBA World welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) isn’t too worried about his opponent Marcos Maidana (34-3, 31 KO’s) being a big puncher for their fight in less than two weeks on December 14th at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas, USA. Broner doesn’t care that Maidana has shown good power in his past fights. Broner doubts that Maidana will be in the position to land his big punches because he intends on making him miss all night.

Broner said today in his conference call with Maidana “I can’t really trash talk with someone who doesn’t speak English. All I can say is that I hope he is at 100%. I never get the credit I deserve. And when I win this fight Dec 14, which I will, I don’t want any excuses. The guys Maidana has fought, he’s been able to hit; he’s got to hit me first.”

By Mr. Pennington: When Adrien Broner (27 -0-22 kos) said “call me the Can Man because anyone CAN get it, AmeriCANS, Puerto RiCANS, MexiCANS, AfriCANS” I became an instant fan. I felt it was original and unrehearsed, and most of all dam good. I’m the type of fans that appreciates the theatrics that come along with sport, after all those are what create the most memorable moments. Mike Tyson’s Classic outburst “I want to eat his kids” Terrell Owens running to mid field in Dallas after scoring a touchdown standing on the Dallas star.

One moment in time I will never forget is the brawl in the Palace in Detroit. Though an unfortunate situation, the entertainment value was jaw dropping.

If they’re going to be testing Maidana’s blood then Broner is going to have to push for the extra testing because this fight doesn’t have extra blood testing setup yet.

Broner and Maidana will be facing each other on December 14th at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas, USA.

It beggars belief that only six weeks before the biggest fight of his life, he is so badly out of shape. Judging by the picture, he looks at least 165lbs. In stark contrast, Maidana looks like a man who means business, and is ready to fight right now.

However, this isn’t the 1st time that the three weight world champion’s weight issues have caused concern- he was recently pictured with Floyd Mayweather Jnr looking flabby around the stomach area, whilst as usual, his idol, and ‘big brother’ was the picture of athletic perfection. Yet, these most recent images, so close to such a huge fight for the Cincinnati native will spark a whole new wave of controversy, and you have to speculate about how adversely affected he will be on fight night as a consequence of having to shed such a huge amount of excess weight in such a short space of time.

By Chris Marckesano: Knockout artist Marcos Maidana (31-3) is being given a good chance in the eyes of a lot of boxing fans to knockout rising star Adrien Broner (27-0). Their styles and recent successes make this fight hard to predict but I think that the safe bet is on a unanimous decision in favor of Broner for the following 4 reasons.

1). Boxing skill: Maidana has made improvements with his overall boxing skills since training under Robert Garcia but still relies on his power. However, watching his fight against Devon Alexander again makes it hard to believe that Maidana can win this fight. Alexander beat Maidana in a unanimous decision in a fight that was plagued with grappling on Alexander’s part. Alexander would hit once or twice, move, hit once and hold.
