What is Marcos Maidana’s career?
Maidana began his professional boxing career in 2004 at the age of twenty. He fought in his native Argentina for the first two years of his professional career, winning all 18 of his fights. Maidana later competed in boxing matches in Germany and Panama. By the conclusion of 2008, he had a 25-0 record, with 24 stoppages.
In early 2009, Maidana faced Andreas Kotelnik for the WBA super lightweight title. Ultimately, he lost in a contentious split decision. Maidana faced Victor Ortíz for the interim WBA super lightweight title in his debut battle in the US in July 2009. The contest was stopped after the ringside physician deemed Ortíz unfit to fight.
In March 2010, Maidana defended his interim WBA super lightweight championship against the undefeated Victor Cayo. He succeeded, defeating Cayo in the sixth round. After failing to negotiate a bout with Timothy Bradley, Maidana faced and defeated DeMarcus Corley in the summer of 2010.
For the third time in his career, he went the distance during the battle. At the conclusion of the year, Maidana challenged Amir Khan for his WBA title but was defeated in a difficult and memorable fight. He had another noteworthy battle in 2011 against Érik Morales, whom he narrowly defeated after several dramatic back-and-forth rounds to win the WBA super lightweight title. Maidana successfully defended his championship against Petrov.
Maidana stepped up to welterweight in early 2012 to take on former WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander. Maidana, who was still adjusting to his new weight class, struggled throughout the 10-round fight and lost by unanimous decision. He rebounded later in the year, defeating Jesus Soto Karass via TKO in a famous slugfest at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Maidana returned to Argentina to fight Martin Ángel Martínez for the vacant WBA intercontinental welterweight title. He ultimately won the fight by knockout. The next year, Maidana faced Adrien Broner for the WBA welterweight belt. Despite being the underdog, Maidana fought hard and delivered Broner his first professional boxing loss.
In the spring of 2014, Maidana faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a highly anticipated unification match in which both boxers’ welterweight titles were at stake. Maidana entered the battle as an underdog, but he was unable to punch his way to victory as Mayweather won by majority decision, seizing Maidana’s WBA welterweight belt in the process.
A rematch was shortly set for September in a contest dubbed “Mayhem.” In front of a boisterous crowd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Mayweather defeated Maidana unanimously for the second time. Both of the fighters’ fights were successful on pay-per-view, with over 900,000 viewers on Showtime.
