How in the fuck has Broner not lost a point?
4 warnings, 100 clinches, and a hit after the bell. No point deductions.
1 headbutt. Takes a point.
LOL Broner loses and immediately goes to the back.
These judges got it right tonight and deserve a bonus for it.
Broner's leaving. Not surprising.
Great scores, right on.
Rematch.
Damn, Broner does not look good. Maybe there won't be a rematch.
No chance for a rematch, Broner shouldn't be fighting this high. His punches meant nothing all fight long and was dropped a few times vs a heavier hitter.
Look for Broner to drop down
From tonight unless he changes a whole lot he probably can't beat Maidina. I guess that is what you get for moving up too many weight classes.Quote:

Broner can dish it out hard like he always has but then he bails like that when he loses. That's disrespectful itself but the kid still has talent so hopefully this is a major reality check for him.Quote:

Broner might want this money BACK now.

Odd. No hair brushing.
Broner showed he's tough and has heart, which definitely counts for something. In retrospect, this result makes all the sense in the world (considering what Paulie did to him with no power in his previous fight, etc.), but I was still pretty shocked at how little clue what to do Broner had when faced with his first big test. This could be the beginning of the end for him or it could be a blessing in disguise, but either way Broner should move down at least one weight class for the time being. He came in like 2 1/2 pounds below the welter limit anyway.
Thurman is gonna be a star. Him against anyone major in the division is an awesome fight. Maidana, who he might fight next/soon, could not possibly hang with him. I'm not sure which welterweights not named Floyd could.
Leo Santa Cruz is top 10 P4P in the world right now imo. Seda is a very good fighter as well, but I don't think there's anyone at 122 other than Rigo could possibly compete with him. He's supposed to maybe fight Carl Frampton next. I would really like to see that fight, but I don't know what chance Frampton would have against a machine like Santa Cruz.
Shumenov-Hopkins is now a fight I would like to see. I think he'll give Hopkins plenty of trouble. He's a fun fighter for sure.

Aside from all the retarded showboating Broner has shown, he made some big time bitch moves in this fight. As if the acting job after the headbutt wasn't bad enough, his running out of the ring and pouting like a girl was deplorable. Yeah he showed some heart and a pretty good chin, but there is so much not to like about this guy I have to think his career is in trouble. If he goes up against Maidana again and takes another ass whupping it's pretty much game over as far as being a marketable PPV attraction.
Sounds like they're not even considering a rematch. Talks of Maidana/Thurman are already swirling, and there wasn't a rematch clause. I wouldn't be surprised to see Broner go after Shawn Porter, to try and get himself a belt. That, too, might be a mistake.
It goes without saying that he needs to work on his defense. People think you can just use a Philly shell and turn into Floyd Mayweather. There's so much more to it. Reflexes, lateral and upper body movement, etc. And for fuck sake, protect your chin.
Leaving the ring like that was a bitch move. I mean, it did look like his jaw was broken, which by the way, is bound to fucking happen when you have your mouth open constantly, grunting like a mad man. The acting job on the headbutt was like Paulie said. Looking for a way out, and hoping to get Maidana DQ'd. The "humping" bullshit that he pulled. I enjoyed the fuck out of seeing him get a beating.
Broner just trying to look good talking his talk but after he watches that fight if he hasn't already he won't want any part of Maidana again or at least not for a couple of years.
