(Photo credit: Idris Erba/Mayweather Promotions) By Allan Fox: Challenger Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs) sees himself in a situation where he’s going to need a knockout to beat WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KOs) in their rematch on September 13th.
Maidana doesn’t see himself being given a decision due to Mayweather having too good of defensive skills for him to beat him that way. Maidana obviously knows that Mayweather will be concentrating more on his defense for the rematch than he did the previous time they fought each other in May.
