I gave almost all the close rounds to Broner and I still had Maidana winning 113-112. Correct decision.

Broner going down after the headbutt was hilarious.

I don't think I've ever seen a fighter embarrass himself like that. Just because you act like Floyd doesn't mean you can fight like him and Broner found out in a big way.

That was hilarious, I had Maidana up by five. Thought the scorecards were spot on for the most part, I feared the worst after the Ponce DeLeon fight. Another hype job found out. Keith Thurman looks the real deal after last night and in his last couple of fights.

Also, Khan's stock is rising again. His win over Maidana is looking more and more impressive as time goes on. Malignaggi having success recently as well.

Khan has a few fights there. A Garcia rematch would probably be his preference, aside from a Mayweather fight.

i love my boxing but i will always shout for refs to jump in or a bout to be stopped if looking like lost cause but have to admit i liked watching Broner getting whacked with all his open mouthed gum chewing, arse kissing mates combing his hair, previous flushing money down the toilet antics. yep have to admit i enjoyed that :)

That Maidana is a lot better than the one Khan hung on too for 3 rounds. Robert Garcia has taught him how to box and he, Garcia & Mayweather all do a job on Khan.

That was so sweet to watch though, seeing Broner run out of the ring all alone, fantastic!

I don't think Maidana has changed much, Khan just utilized his huge speed advantage and boxed well that night. Maidana was lucky to get out of the first round.

Khan has regressed in these last 2 years though, not sure if his punch resistance would hold out again.

His body work has improved a hell of a lot, and the knockdown punch in the second wasn't in his locker before. I don't think Maidana will ever be a great finisher when he has a man down buy he showed more composure than he did against Khan. I agree that Khan has gone backwards, he'd get clipped at some stage. If Broner is staying at 147 a fight for him with Khan would actually make sense, I reckon I'd cheer for Khan for once!

Khans wins against Maidana, stopping Paulie and Zab (especially after his later showing against Garcia) were all top notch, as well as the fact that he was bossing Garcia up until he got caught then got stupid. Unfortunately he just doesn't fight enough, he should have taken that Alexander fight which he was capable of winning, instead now he is still chasing a payday from Floyd and Kell Brook is the mandatory for a belt that could of been his. He does make some stupid mistakes in and out of the ring but listening to his commentary on The Paulie V Zab Showtime card the other week, he's definitely not the brightest button.
