SAN ANTONIO (Oct. 31, 2013) – WBA Welterweight Champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner and former WBA Junior Welterweight Champion Marcos “El Chino” Maidana are no strangers to facing the most feared competitors in the sport of boxing. On Saturday, Dec. 14, in a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® mega-bout to air live from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, the bold and brash Broner and the punching powerhouse Maidana will enter the DANGER ZONE like never before, with “The Problem” defending his title against the Argentine knockout artist determined to wrap championship gold around his waist once again.
Who will emerge from the DANGER ZONE unscathed? Will it be the fast and precise Broner or the aggressive and powerful Maidana? The world will find out on Dec. 14.
By Allan Fox: Robert Garcia, the trainer for #2 WBA, Marcos Maidana (34-3, 31 KO’), has revealed their plan to try and defeat WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) on December 14th on Showtime at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Garcia says that Maidana will throw 100 punch per round and all of them will be power punches. The theory is that if each one of Maidana’s 100 punches are thrown with major power, Broner can’t win the rounders by throwing fewer but cleaner landing punches. 
By Allan Fox: WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) believes that he’ll be taking over boxing once his idol Floyd Mayweather Jr. retires from the sport. Broner patterns his fighting style after Floyd and he thinks he’ll be the one to carry the torch once Mayweather hangs up the gloves in the near future. Broner has no interest in fighting Mayweather because he sees him as family. 
By Dan Ambrose: Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-2-1, 18 KO’s) is through for the remainder of the year after his one-sided 12 round unanimous decision decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last May, according to Steve Kim. That means the 30-year-old Guerrero will have fought only once in 2013. He’ll be alright though because Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says that Guerrero, #8 WBA, could face the winner of the December 14th fight between Adrien Broner and Marcos Maidana.
By Allan Fox: Former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-4-2, 22 KO’s) has been added to the December 14th Adrien Broner vs. Marcos Maidana pay-per-view card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ortiz, 26, will be challenging IBF junior middleweight champion Carlos Molina (22-5-2, 6 KO’s) for his title in the co-feature bout on the card. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 22 KO’s) vs. Marcos Maidana (34-3, 31 KO’s) is a done deal for December 14th, at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The fight will be pay-per-view on Showtime, and the co-feature bout will be undefeated interim WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman (21-0, 19 KO’s) defending his interim title against Jesus Soto Karass (28-8-3, 18 KO’s).
