People including myself have counted out Maidana against he boxing number one attraction and the current pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather jr. Don't hate me, I am just telling the truth, and yes I am a Pacquiao fan.
Maidana was an underdog and no way that a skilled fighter like Mayweather would be challenge by someone like Marcos Maidana who rely on his knockout power.
We were wrong, Marcos Maidana came to the ring blazing and was giving all he got to Floyd, he was successful during the start of the fight, until the great Floyd figured out how to counter the barrage of inside punches that Maidana seems to be landing every time.
This was not an easy fight for Floyd, while most can argue the decision, what they can't take away is Marcos Maidana's effort and he exposed Floyd's weakness, he deserved some respect and perhaps a rematch.
In the end the self proclaimed TBE, The best ever won via Majority Decision.
Scorecasrd (114-114, 117-111 & 116-112) for winner and STILL UNBEATEN
