I don't think Maidana prepared well for this fight as far has having a fight plan. The only time he showed anything in the fight was when he tried to over power Morales at the beginning of about 5 rounds. He looked amateurish missing a lot of his punches, it looked like he thought he'd just go in there swinging away and catch Morales and it would be over. The rest of the fight, he was either holding on or simply getting out boxed by a savvy old fighter. What got him the win was his work rate. I would not be surprised to see the compubox stats showing a pretty even fight in total connects with Maidana miss a whole lot more.
