Adrien Broner competed over 40 times in his professional career but the power from one fighter in particular stands out clear in his mind.

Broner was widely regarded as one of the stars of the sport after becoming a three-weight world champion at just 23, and a four-weight world champion at 26, with Oscar De La Hoya the only man to have achieved that second feat at an earlier age.

At one stage Broner had an unbeaten record of 27-0, but a criticism that he has faced throughout his career is his lack of commitment and discipline, with several losses meaning that record now stands at 35 wins from 42 fights.

The first of those defeats came to Marcos Maidana in December 2013, with Broner losing his WBA welterweight title in a unanimous decision defeat.

Broner was a big favourite heading into the bout, but was dropped twice throughout the contest, and over a decade on that fight still has a lasting impact on the American after revealing on a live stream that he was hit so hard that ‘his whole body went numb.’

Maidana held the WBA Regular super-lightweight title along with the WBA welterweight belt, and his power was evident throughout his career, with 31 victories coming by knockout.

His win over Broner famously led to two fights with Floyd Mayweather, with the first ending in a majority decision loss for the Argentinian, before a more comfortable unanimous decision win for Mayweather in the rematch.

That second meeting proved to be the final time that Maidana was in action, retiring with a final record of 35 wins and 5 defeats.
