Marcos Maidana says he wouldn’t give Floyd Mayweather a kiss like Victor Ortiz – Boxing news
Marcos Maidana, who is the current World Boxing Association’s Super Lightweight champion, has claimed he is going to provide the undefeated American legend, Floyd Mayweather, with a real war if he ever
meet him in the ring.
The 28-year-old Argentinean warrior, Maidana, who carries a record of winning 31 of his 33 professional fights, with 28 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout, recently stopped Petr Petrov in the
fourth round at the Sociedad Alemana, Villa Ballester in Buenos Aires, Argentina and now he is anxiously waiting for a big fight.
“I am anxious to know who my next opponent would be. I’m ready to go back to the big leagues,” Maidana said.
Maidana, who is also known as El Chino, currently fights at the Light Welterweight division but he revealed he will move up to the Welterweight division, if Erik Morales or Humberto Soto refuses to fight
him again.
Maidana stated a he is even ready to take on the five-division world champion and the current World Boxing Council World Welterweight Champion, Floyd Mayweather, and he also claimed he will provide a very
tough night to the American superstar, who holds an incredible record of winning all of his 42 professional fights, with 26 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout.
The 34-year-old Mayweather recently secured a controversial knockout win over the Vicious Victor Ortiz at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
Maidana commented on Mayweather’s bout with Ortiz and insisted he will not be like Ortiz at all instead he said he will either knock out or get knocked out.
"Some people ask me if I’m ready for the big guys like Mayweather. Of course! He is the best in the world, but I’m ready for anybody. And I tell you what, I wouldn’t give Floyd a kiss, like (Victor) Ortiz
did. It’d be quite a tough bout but I’d bring real war to him. It’d be do or die for me. He knocks me out or I knock him out, plain and simple,” Maidana added.
Maidana career’s first fight was with Ortiz in which he got knocked down three times within the first two rounds before he bounced back and secured a sixth-round TKO victory. Therefore, Maidana-Mayweather
bout will certainly be an explosive one. Let’s see if he gets close to a Mayweather fight.
