(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Danny Ech: Like Jimmy Lennon Jr. always says “Fight Fans here we go “tonight is the Floyd Mayweather Jr (45-0, 26 KO’s) fans super bowl of boxing. All Floyd Mayweather fans will be tuning in tonight while the “others” may not but most likely come Sunday Morning will have their ears open to see if one 18 year Champion still remains undefeated or has the the new Champion written a new chapter in the history books.
The new Champion Marcos “El Chino” Maidana from Argentina is a ferocious hard hitting welter that always refuses to stay down if the moment arrives that a perfect punch lands and sends him down to the canvas. Chino has tasted defeat before but now is on a winning streak that catapulted him to Champion status after the spectacular destruction of Andrien Broner who decided to jump from his winning Champion weight class of 130 to Maidana’s home of 147.
Marcos Maidana has shared the squared circle with fighters such as Victor Ortiz, Amir Khan, Erik Morales, Devon Alexander, Jesus Soto Karass, Josesito Lopez and Adrian Broner to name a few. Marcos Maidana has a record of 35 wins 3 losses 31 knockouts with a KO% of 81.58% with relentless pressure that would cause any fighter to second guess every punch they throw at him. Now with a win tonight no matter if it is as spectacular as his destruction of Adrien Broner or a win on the cards, a simple letter “ W “ next his name against the number 1 pound for pound Champion Floyd Mayweather will send Maidana into another dimension..
The uphill battle though is a tough one an elusive one a crafty one a possible nightmare of a road to travel that 45 other men tried to conquer to no avail. Every fighter that attempted to travel down that road seemed skillful and talented and worthy to weather the storm and many put their own GOLD on the line but after 12rounds left empty handed. The living legend that calls himself T.B.E. THE BEST EVER Floyd Mayweather Jr has dominated that same road for 18 years strong with absolutely no defeats or even close defeats. T.B.E. is planning to update his DEFEATED CHAMPION WALL of fallen foes which consists of.
