Everyone is buzzing about what Brian Kenny said in the post fight......what did he say? 
luna park is way too small breh.. that fight is built for the monumental, or the colon stadium for maidanaFloyd would eat Chino alive

Thoughts?
Brian Kenny said if Broner can talk all that shyt and dance he should be there to talk about it after he gets his ass whooped
Thoughts?
I don't think Maidana or Garcia should be fighting each other for the privilege of fighting dudes they already convincingly beat.
On their own both fights are intriguing though.
I'd pick Danny over Maidana and Matthysse over Broner.

He pretty much said "if you are going to talk mad shyt leading up to the fight at least be man enough to stay in the ring and talk/give your opponent his props after you take your L" not word for word obviously lol

Oh yeah, but the atmosphere would be something else
Monumental might be too big unless they can sell real hatred between them and "divide" the country (argentinians love that kind of shyt) but idk, I don't see Lucas or Chino willing to play that game and go full fukkery on each other.
Too bad they are not from Rosario. A Central vs Newell's rivalry at Gigante de Arrollito would end up in a riot

2x...and defending
Great night of fights!!!
My quick thoughts:
Leo Santa Cruz - one of the more exciting guys to watch. I would love to watch him fight Rigo. Rigo is light years ahead of Leo in boxing skills, but at this point one way to put pressure on Rigo is to outwork him, and even if Rigo is landing clean punches, because his activity level is so low - a potential weakness in his style is just to compile numbers. Too bad under the current promotional climate this can't happen. I think Leo has too much pride to not do shyt like Agbeko did. That's why this interests me.
Thurman - I've been loving this dude for awhile. I have been open in saying he definitely needs work on his boxing skills and defense, but he is reasonably competent and tries hard in both. I definitely don't see him as a top tier 147 yet, but he is exciting, loves to fight, and brings it every time. That punch he took from Karass was a beast and he handled it well. Props to Karass, dude has an amazing chin, and fought with a lot of heart. What I also like about Thurman is that he makes 147 easy, but he is one of the physically most strong WW out there. Physically he kinda reminds me of James Kirkland in that height or reach wise he will never look like the biggest fighter in his division, but his natural physique looks imposing. A Thurman-Maidana fight would be amazing!
Maidana - Broner: I started out a Broner fan, but his antics have worn me out, and I have been waiting for Broner to be humbled on the d/l. From the get go, Broner looked out of shape to me. Physically his body looked strong, but his face hadn't recovered from being About Biscuits and he looked slow...it looked liked having to lose all that weight in a short time took its toll, his speed was gone. One of the things I was wondering About Broner was how he would handle a fighter who bullied him, since he likes to play the bully...he didn't respond well at all. Maidana physically Abused Broner. I thought Broner got his ass kicked pretty much the whole fight...the rounds Broner may have won were close and in this case I gave most of them to Maidana because he landed much harder shots. Probably had it like 9-3 Maidana, plus a bonus point for the first KD. Broner's offense is disappointingly very limited...he has no idea how to increase his work rate, which is going to create major problems for him as lets be real there are a lot of fighters who can make it a difficult night for Broner if he can't be more active. Broner showed heart in making it through the fight...but his dirty antics in the ring have been bothering me, and Maidana giving him the fukkering from behind was my GOAT moment of the year, along with GGG saying "he good boy". LOL. Maidana puts the crown on and proclaimed About Beatings.
A Maidana - Thurman fight would be amazing. However, if Floyd is looking for an opponent, Maidana isn't a greatly qualified number 1 contender...but he is far more qualified than Khan.

The problem with Broner was his footwork. He was just too flat footed for most of the fight. He couldnt move very well for an extended period and it showed.
This fight was just like the AnthonyPeterson/Brandon Rios fight. Where Peterson had some success boxing him early on but just couldnt keep away from the plodding power puncher in Rios
