Adrien Broner (USA) vs Marcos Maidana (Argentina) | Boxing Fight Highlights HD

So let's go to the tail of the tape for tonight's main event. Introducing the hard-hitting Marcos El Chino. Introducing Adrian The Problem. Your trunks are, okay, you're good here? That's what I'm going to call it. Alright, good here. Alright, touch them up, good luck. The bell and round one. Raises him with the right hand, might dot off to a very quick start here. Maidana continues to walk Broner down. Broner catching a lot of those punches. He's back with a one-two. Right uppercut by Maidana, the right cutter. Just a little bit if he's going to be effective here. There's a slow pace in favor of Broner. Here he is picking it up now. The hook on the right had hurt Broner. He took a weird false misstep after that shot. If Broner gets by this, we're going to see what kind of character he has. Oh, and the lefts and rights by Maidana. Al, you're absolutely right. I don't know what happened to Maidana's jab. The right hand by Maidana. Well, he's doing that right now, going back to the jab. Keeping Maidana under control. Right hand to the body by Maidana. And that could have impact as this fight wears on. What has been a scintillating second stanza. Cross connects by Maidana. Broner. To win this fight, Adrian Broner is going to have to hurt Marcos Maidana. I felt that coming in, and boy I was. In the first of two rounds. And there's the right hand lead by Maidana. That sticks. Another right hand. He's hurt bad. They might have to look at stopping this to keep focus here. Left hook. Tries to get the hook in. Comes out almost the same way, and he changes it. It must have been something they worked on at camp. There he changes the hook to the body. Right hand lead by Maidana. And he swarms Broner along the ropes. Uppercuts the last one, just grazing the chin. And it's all Marcos Maidana hearing himself. I know it's Adrian Broner, and he's supposed to be a star. And now Broner comes back. Broner still on his back foot. Measuring up. Good defense, and there's some of the speed displayed by total body shots. Landed almost a shutout. This is known here against Broner. Gavin Reese bounce lands a right hand. Staying calm in the midst of this fierce firestorm. Hey, chill out. Broner's tired. They feel Maidana's shot is low, and he's tired already. We'll see if that's the case. Here's where Broner has a problem, though. He throws so few punches, it's going to be hard for him to learn those. Maidana throwing all kinds of punches. I don't know if Lawrence Cole called that a knockout, but he's in trouble now. Another right hand by Maidana. He's below Maidana, but he's still landing power punches. Two shots from the outside, and then he's close distance once those shots landed. Final seconds of the fourth round. Another chopping right hand. And there's a left hand Broner and challenger Marcos Maidana. Left hook connects by Broner. I don't want you to throw that jab. If it's going to be slow, don't throw it, because that's when he counter punches. Keep breathing. He kind of got Broner comfortable with him seeing the jab to the body, and instead it turned into a hook to the head. Broner never realized it was coming. And a lift by Maidana, but there does seem to be a lot more. To the top with a right hand, working the body and then going back upstairs. And it's been exciting as Maidana again works the body. And a lift. I hope Lawrence Cole doesn't have to decide this fight. A minute 45 left with a right hand to the side of the head as they again are in close, working away at the body. Broner tagging the leg. Comparisons with Broner with Floyd Mayweather here because they're coming in awkward ways and from awkward angles. Maidana energized. Now he's protesting to Lawrence Cole. Broner catches Maidana with a right and there's another quick combination which landed by the champion Adrian Broner. One of the central questions in this fight is does Broner have... There's that break. And again, you're putting Maidana in a position he's not used to being in. By the right cross by Broner. Maidana getting a little sluggish, but he's still coming in sometimes. Final minute of the fifth round. Not too good for Maidana. Stafford actually told Adrian in the corner, Adrian's trainer Mike Stafford told him he's backing you up with a nice move. You see that? Yeah, the kind of lateral move that we're not used to seeing so much. Sneaks in a right uppercut. And the relieved right hand by Broner. 30 seconds Broner coming forward. Maidana on the ropes now moving away as he comes in on the attack. The handspeed of Broner of course is a big edge for him. They both have it for Maidana. And Steve, what do you think? I do, Al. Right now the rhythm seems good. As he's showing these signs of fatigue, if Broner has got to get busy, he's got to take advantage of that. He's got his balance not good here in this round. Left hook and left uppercut. It certainly was intentional was that Maidana couldn't get his hands free. And that's what I mean. Now Broner beginning to find a rhythm with his combination. Maidana though continues to come forward. Immediately right uppercut snuck in by Broner. One of those punches blocked by Broner. But some of it's going to come down to how many he loses at. Maidana going for it. He's got to take advantage of that. Broner doesn't move his hands very often. Seems to favor Broner, although Maidana always looks like he's one punch away from hurting his opponent. One thing to think about is he's actually working to his benefit. Broner can't time him defensively. And he's getting hit with punches he wouldn't normally. But he connects with the right hand. And Broner now beginning to tee off a little bit of Maidana. But Maidana here with both hands. Very, very hard. So Maidana can't get his arms free. Maidana has thrown more punches. 47 to 36. But Broner's been fairly active. That Floyd had with Jose Luis Castillo. That Broner's having with Maidana here. I'm not saying that they're all landing, but he's much busier. He just landed three punches there. The double left hook followed by upstairs. A stellar amateur career with over 300 fights. And there he eats a right. Nice work coming from him. Maidana continues to invest in the body shots. Putting the work in as he... This is a very entertaining fight. A great jab by Maidana. Does he have welterweight power? And we're going to find out tonight because he's hit Maidana once. Forcing the fight on the back foot. And that alone can make a guy uncomfortable. Maidana more committed to coming out, coming forward this round. Sometimes he shows signs of fatigue. But there he shows signs of fatigue. A little too much. He's trying to corner him. And he's trying to back down. Maidana's got the angle. A very... So here at the... You're pulling out too much. Okay, just a little bit more. He's backing you up just a little bit too much. That's all you've got to do. You've got to be a little more busy in this round. Maidana with the momentum to push him back. Well, that was the... Working the body again over top of the right hand. Clubbing left hand by Maidana. Working the body. It shows character in a fighter. It shows character in a man. Left hook and a... Left hook by Broner. Going upstairs again with the left hook. They're trading hooks. And right now Broner's is getting... We're pretty much in agreement here with Maidana winning by several points. Chopping right hand. They're exchanging leather in the center of the ring. An aggressive body language. He better have one. But still... There's a straight right hand. Another one that seemed to... Better cut Maidana. The crowd is going crazy in San Antonio. Left of his own. Has Maidana along the ropes. But it's Maidana's jab that keeps Broner at bay. Every time Maidana throws... This round of Broner. And lands a right and a left behind. Levi Martinez from New Mexico. Nelson Vasquez from Puerto Rico. Broner getting... An unbelievable atmosphere to cap off one of the greatest years. Went to the gluteal corner to let the doctor check him. Left hook by Broner. Couple of punches to the body. And the body shots by Maidana. Left hook by Broner. Less than a minute left in what has been Maidana digs a... So used to seeing all those wide shots that the straight one's surprising. Again, defense is partially anticipating. Marcos Maidana going to the body with the left hook. Broner coming forward. He's got to get his hands off the hook to win. Neither guy wants to back off. Maidana tired. He's still trying to throw punches. Broner very impressed. In recent memory in the sport of boxing, Maidana and Broner... Battle of attrition. You get clipped. I don't think... Maybe Broner's not so apt to... Not so willing to take those chances. Maidana on the attack again. He's behind in this fight. We would anticipate, of course, that's just not an official view. But at least he's showing he's got his man's back. To the fight. Couple of stiff jabs by Broner. Maidana again beginning to pick up the pace. Lands a left hand. Broner comes back with... You're going to deduct points. He's got to go both ways. Nice combination by Maidana. Lead left hook, then going down to the body. I'm sorry. A reminder of the judges, a double jab by Maidana. And a left hand. But he still came forward. A big exclamation point on the year 2013. Ladies and gentlemen, after 12 rounds of action, we have a unanimous decision. All three in favor of the winner.
