Marcos Maidana boxing news
Rough, tough and always exciting Argentine warrior Marcos Maidana, who exited with a 35-5(31) record, compiled against fair, good, very good and great fighters, turns 35 today.
He is, as all fans know, a perfect 50-0 as a professional boxer, yet to this day fans point to one fighter, maybe even two, and say Mayweather deserved to lose on the score-cards.
Former 140 pound champion Amir Khan is in the news quite a bit today: from his comments regarding how Canelo Alvarez should have been handed a far stiffer penalty for his two failed drugs tests (see article below), to the admiration he has for, and the inspiration he has received from Anthony Joshua, to his making weight for tomorrow’s must-win fight with Phil Lo Greco.
Argentine warrior (warrior with a capital ‘W’) Marcos Maidana is living like a king these days, his wealth and comfort a well-earned result of the blood, sweat and tears he left inside the ring – and the pain he inflicted.
Just when we thought there was a chance, just a small chance, he might fight again – the rumour mill going into overdrive simply because “El Chino” stepped back into a gym – Argentine warrior Marcos Maidana has made it official: he has retired from the sport he gave so much excitement to, at age 33.
The last time we saw Marcos Maidana in a fight, he was losing his money-spinner of a return meeting with Floyd Mayweather Junior in September of 2014.
A couple of days ago, a photo of Argentine warrior Marcos Maidana surfaced on the internet and it caused quite a response, being re-posted a number of times.
Since earning a pair of career high paydays in back-to-back world title challenges to Floyd Mayweather, Marcos Maidana has been relaxing and enjoying the good life back home in Argentina with no serious signs of return, although according his to manager, Sebastian Contursi, ‘Chino’ will indeed be back in action sometime in the early part of 2016.
It has now been over a year since the first of Marcos Maidana’s back to back fights with Floyd Mayweather, with no immediate signs of the Argentine puncher returning to the ring.
I guess I was one of those that hoped Adrien Broner might mature a little bit in defeat, use such a humbling as a learning curve and come back not only stronger but having had a much needed “attitude adjustment.”
