Why no habla Maidana?

[killersheep]

I thought Maidana had a very good performance this weekend against the awkward Cayo. Maidana is not the most skilled boxer out there, but you can notice him dialing his punches in and adapting in every fight. Anyone else see it?

Dirrell is a shit actor, why can't he just be a man and get up like a man and fight instead of rolling round like... oh wait... wrong thread

I have a thing or two to tell you about PEDs.

Can't see Golden Boy putting Khan in with Maidana for a very long time if ever, for my money Maidana would ko Khan within 5 rounds.

Maidana gets the shaft, short end against Kotelnik, Khan won't fight him. You'll be seeing more of Maidana which is what I like, if he doesn't get a huge payday fight, he just books a good fight and takes it. The "elite" could take a page out of his book IMO. I think he will struggle against both Bradley and Alexander, even Urango might have some big success because Marcos is so hittable, BUT The rest of the field at 140 would have huge difficulties with him the guy is a tank.

[JazMerkin]

With Maidana, I'm of the opinion he swings too much that the best guys at 140, Bradley, Alexander & Khan will all catch him off balance and take him out. I'd even favour Ortiz in a rematch. However, he's never in a bad fight, not even against Kotelnik, so hope he gets a few more fights to give him some exposure and he can stick around and get the shots he deserves.

Mayweather needs to stop thinking he's bigger than boxing.

[MMASUX]

Have not watched the fight yet. Plan on watching it tonight, but i agree with you Skel, i can't see Khan fighting him either.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is ducking Ricky Hatton.

I love watching Maidana fight. He's a limited fighter with porous defense and a great chin, but he's got a ton of heart, a ton of power, and I get the impression he'd fight his own grandma if he could gather a half-dozen people to watch it. He's going to keep building up his name and the big guys will be forced to fight him at some point.

The fight against Cayo was very interesting. Watching Maidana deal with a fast-handed, awkward, and defensively competent fighter (albeit an unproven one) only increased my opinion of him. The body shot that ended the fight was deadly.

Unfortunately, I think he'll be exposed by the elite of 140, but with his power anything is possible, especially against a guy like Khan. I think Alexander and Bradley would absolutely dominate him though.

That body shot was brutal watching Cayo trying to stretch out the pain was very telling.

[hfahrenheit]

i have a special place in my heart for body shot knockouts...

this one was great.

Better than the Bute v. Andrade one. maybe.

Enjoyed the fight... Maidana should dominate the division for some time to come. I also couldn't help noticing how Maidana seems to fit the mold of most Argentinian fighters. Tough, burly, hard-punching, not very smooth style. It makes for exciting fights. You rarely see a boring chess match of a fight when an Argentinian is involved.

Hey... how 'bout Maidana-Hatton?

Pacquiao
Bradley
Marquez
Hatton
Khan

they all take maidana on there day

[0james0]

Poor old Maidana. Since the Ortiz fight no one really wants to fight him. Especially Khan, they are doing all they can to not fight him!

I hope he gets the pay day he deserves against a big brand fighter, before he takes on a similar style opponent to him and gets caught. He has shown against Ortiz though that you can't keep him down.

Anyway, watch his latest fight here:

And anyone who thinks Hatton would even make the weight against Maidana let alone not get knocked out is more deluded than Ricky himself.
