Former undefeated very talented and
too self-confident Adrian Broner took a terrible beating last Saturday
against hard hitting Marcos Rene Maidana in Alamodome, Texas,USA. All
three judges scored 117-109, 115-109, 115-110 for Maidana. It was first
professional loss for Broner, in this one sided fight he also lost his
WBA World welterweight title.
December this year is the month of the
"upsets". Adrian Broner joined the ranks of failures with Daren Barker,
Devon Alexander, Zab Judah and Austin Trout. Nice job. Before this
fight almost all boxing experts and fans had one opinion. Broner will
win easily...
There were few including me, who saw
some questions in Broners ability to take big punches, but most people
believed the hype, as Broner said "I don't care about his power, because
he can't touch me". Broner believed that he can't be touched, well it
seems that he can be not only touched very easily but also dropped by a
slow puncher.
From the first second of the first
round it was clear that Broner can be touched. And I understood that he
will be dropped soon if he will continue to fight that way. Instead of
boxing and moving he started to brawl with Maidana. He was caught with
some big punches but he took them well. Maidana wasn't going only for
the head, he worked a lot on Broners body as I predicted.
It was just the matter of time when
will Broner go down with the rate of big punches that Maidana was
landing oh his head. And the first knockdown came very fast....
