Comments Thread For: Maidana: Mexican Will Back Me Against Adrien Broner

[Frank Ducketts]

He got hit more by Gavin Reese but unlike Reese, Berto has fought far bigger punchers and paid. Broner's defense is nothing special. If Broner gets hit by Maidana like he did against Reese and Pauli, he could be in serious trouble. Broner is far more like Berto in his style than Toney.

Broner is more like Floyd and Toney than Berto. Berto has zero defense. Too much is made out of Broner/Reese fight. Once they saw a negative in Broners performance or what they perceived as a criticism, Broners critics just rode with it just like they did in the Malignaggi fight.

Berto barely moves his head and uses the shoulder roll. He recently started using the shoulder roll in his last 2 fights and got busted up and KO'd against guys he was supposed to beat. In the clinch, Berto puts both of hands up like that amateur style. Broner still holds his shell defense in the clinch just like James, although not as good as Toney.

I agree his defense is nothing special, but its still better than the majority of boxers today. Believe me, Im rooting for Maidana but I wont deny his skill like a lot of the posters on here.

When Berto was unbeaten, he also was no easier to hit than Broner. But Broner has not faced that level yet so till then, he does not belong in the breath of Floyd or Toney.

Me and my Mexican posse will be rooting for Maidana . He has full support of Mexicans living in Mexico and in the US.Latin America is proud of Maidana because win or lose, he fights like a true latino, none of that Mayweather chicken shiet.

Playas, pimps, hos, hustlers, willes thugs, ballers, busters,

What you see is what you get now

Bless the child like a ho who's on flesh 'n bone
and no matter where I roam I feel right at home

True champions quote bitten from: Xzibit Whatchu c is Whatchu get now!

Berto didn't have zero defense against the type of fighters Broner was facing till he stepped up and fought better comp. Broner does not belong in the same topic line as Floyd and Toney. Come back in 10 fights and see if he does which I doubt. His style will be more compared to Berto than Floyd or Toney because they did their thing against top opposition. Broner has not done that yet so till then, he is a copy of Berto.

I wasnt comparing him to Floyd/James in terms of what they accomplished or done in the sport. I compared him to James in terms of style and how he looks and moves when you watch the guy. Also when Berto fought Collazo when he was unbeaten he was hit a LOT and arguably lost that fight.

Berto never had good defense in his career while Broner has very good defense, not on the level of a Floyd/James but still good compared to what's out there in todays boxing.
