In the wake of his upset loss to Marcos Maidana this past weekend, the criticism directed towards three-division world champion Adrien Broner has been hot and heavy.
Broner, one of the more brazen and brash characters you will meet in the sport, seems to be the type of guy that fans either love or hate because of his outlandish, ultra confident personality.
Broner’s fight with Maidana was one of the most compelling of the year and despite being dropped in rounds two and eight and absorbing his share of telling blows throughout the duration of his unanimous decision loss, the Cincinnati native was able to bite down in the face of adversity, showing grit and heart until the final bell rang.
All one has to do is take a quick look at various boxing forums online or scan through the social media landscape to get a sense of the backlash directed towards the former champion.
Speaking with respected trainer Naazim Richardson on Thursday evening, the North Philadelphia coach came to Broner’s defense upon getting a sense of just how much hate has been on display this past week.

Following a successful comeback performance against Brandon Rios on Nov. 23, Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao is slated for a ring return this April in Las Vegas, Nevada.
There were several question marks surrounding Pacquiao heading into the Rios clash, as his previous fight saw him stopped in horrific fashion by Juan Manuel Marquez, but he showed himself to be more than up to the task in winning a lopsided unanimous decision.
Speaking with Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum on Tuesday evening, he is certain the next opponent for the eight-division champion will be decided in the coming days.
“We’re going to decide before Christmas,” Arum explained. “We’ll [know] who he’s going to fight.”
Arum mentioned that the three names being tossed around are Marquez, Tim Bradley, and Ruslan Provodnikov.
Pacquiao has been in the ring with all three men, facing Marquez in four memorable encounters while dropping a split-decision to Bradley in June of last year. Pacquiao also has sparred several rounds with Provodnikov in recent years.
Asked what the appeal is of each fighter, Arum spoke logically.
“We’re talking to the pay per view people,” he stated. “Whatever makes the most sense.
“I don’t make appeals,” Arum added. “Whatever we decide, we’ll make an intelligent decision. And that’s who we’ll fight.”
