By Dan Ambrose: WBO super featherweight champion Mikey Garcia 34-0, 28 KOs) will be helping out title challenger Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs) sparring to get him ready for his rematch against WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KOs) on September 13th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mikey is the brother of Maidana’s trainer Robert Garcia, and he wanted to the opportunity to spar with Maidana and help get ready. Mikey’s job will be to try and imitate Mayweather’s style as best as he can. It’s not going to be easy because Mikey is smaller than Mayweather, and he fights nothing like him.
