Where: Hollywood Theatre, MGM Grand, Las Vegas
When: 4 p.m. ET
Mayweather took a majority decision from Maidana in May, unifying the welterweight crown in a fight viewed as his toughest in years. The pound-for-pound king has been vocal about that night, expressing displeasure and disdain of the Argentine’s rough style, which included a fair number of fouls.
He’s accused both Maidana and his trainer Robert Garcia of intentionally fighting dirty, but that style presented him with great difficulty in the early rounds.
Maidana’s chances were almost completely dismissed coming into the fight in May. His crude style and unrefined technique seemed built to be picked apart by a technical master like Mayweather.
But that didn’t happen, at least until the second half of the fight, and Madiana easily exceeded expectations.
Can Mayweather take him out more easily this time? Or will Maidana finish the job and take his elusive zero?
We’re just days from finding out.
So join us on Wednesday, as the fighters go face-to-face for one of the final times before “Mayhem.”
