Marcos Maidana interview

1. How do you feel one week before your next big fight in the US?

Maidana: I have had the best preparation of my entire career. Now I am at 144 lbs, eight days before the fight, perfect.

2. How and were did you prepare for Cayo?

Maidana: I have started preparation 60 days ago and have been training for 35 days here in Las Vegas, focusing on the fight and holding a special diet.

3. How do you think about your opponent Victor Cayo? You know him well?

Maidana: I have watched several videos. He has a good technique, swift legs, very fast. I hope we will not be able to resist my power, and if he is, then I am prepared to win on points.

4. Are you angry, that Amir Khan didn’t want to fight you?

Maidana: You know, Khan wouldn’t like to face me at the moment. This shows his intelligence. I would have liked to make a unification fight right now, but my Manager Mario Margossian advised me that it would be better to make two fights in the US before the unification, which will be a very important fight.

5. Would you even beat Khan? How do you think about him?

Maidana: I have watched various tapes of Khan’s fights and thus know him quite well. He will not be able to resist my attacks. I am sure that I am going to win by KO.

6. How do you think about your defeat against Kotelnik one year ago?

Maidana: This was a very balanced fight. I think I would have deserved a very close win, but the judges did not see it that way. This defeat really hurt me, but helped me develop, I scrutinized myself and tried to advance in every way, and this is what I continue to do.
