The Problem needs a new solution.
Shortly after his one-sided loss to Marcos Maidana on Saturday, Dec. 14, Adrien Broner has already gone on record demanding another chance.
"I'll tell you one thing, make a rematch. I don't need a warm-up fight. I want a rematch," Broner said, per The Associated Press' Raul Dominguez (via ABCNews.com).
You can't be too surprised that "The Problem" would want to fight Maidana again already. His pride took a major hit in the Alamodome. ESPN's Robert Flores thought the Broner and Floyd Mayweather comparisons can end now.
The fact that Broner was beaten was surprising enough, but few could've foreseen the way in which he'd lose. The judges scored it 115-110, 116-109 and 117-109.
Maidana was able to assert his dominance in the ring early and pummeled Broner for much of the fight. "The Problem" would end up on the canvas twice.
It was the kind of result that makes you wonder why a rematch would even be necessary.
From Maidana's perspective, you've already thoroughly beaten Broner. What is there to be gained by doing it all over again? You're risking a loss in the second fight that erases everything good that happened in the first.
Not to mention he could probably pursue a fight with Mayweather. This result would put him in line for "Money" at some point in the future.
But if you're Broner, you'd be stupid not to ask for a rematch. Until you beat Maidana, Saturday's loss will be a black mark on your resume. Avenging that defeat supersedes everything else.
Who knows what the future may hold? In boxing, almost anything can happen in the coming months. Of course, if there's money to be made, you can almost certainly count on these two will stepping into the ring again very soon.
