By Dan Ambrose: It’s going to take former two division world champion Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31 KOs) a while before he’s ready to fight again, says his trainer Robert Garcia. With all the weight that Maidana has put on since his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in their rematch in September of 2014, Maidana’s trainer Robert Garcia estimates that it’s going to take between 4 to 5 months for him to take it off during training camp before he’s ready to fight again.
If Maidana does fight near the end of the year, he would probably need to train at least until October or November to take off all the weight that he’s put on. In recent video of Maidana with Adrien Broner, Maidana looks to be in the neighborhood of 200 pounds, possibly a little heaver.
