Floyd Mayweather Jr. turned
37 on the 24th of February and he has been kind enough to give us a
gift of our own. Mayweather announced on twitter, that he with be fight Marcos Maidana on
May 3, 2014. Mayweather (45-0, 26 knockouts), the world's number one
pound-for-pound fighter and 10-time world champion, will risk his of the
147-pound World Boxing Council title, while Maidana (35-3, 31 KOs), of Argentina, will risk his World Boxing Association title.
Maidana surfaced as a prime
contender for Mayweather, when he dominated Adrien Broner on Dec. 14, 2013.
Mayweather told Fox Sports, “Marcos Maidana's last performance immediately
brought him to my attention," Mayweather said in a statement. "He is an extremely skilled fighter who
brings knockout danger to the ring. I
think this is a great fight for me and he deserves the opportunity to see if he
can do what 45 others have tried to do before him -- beat me."
"I am extremely happy
to be facing Floyd Mayweather because it will give me the opportunity to show
the world that I am the best welterweight in the division," said Marcos
Maidana in a press release. Maidana believes he has a strong chance of beating
Mayweather, especially after beating someone with a similar defensive style has
Floyd.
Tickets for this bout should
go on sale soon, once they figure out where they are going to fight. The
Brooklyn’s Barclays Center are making a run to host the fight and will be
looking to beat out Las Vegas’s MGM Grand, where Mayweather has hosted his last
eight fights.
Fight Analyzes
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a veteran in the ring. He is
considered the number one-pound for pound boxer for a reason. His quickness,
great defense, and ability to adapt will set the pace to another victory for
Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. Floyd is going to out box and out class Maidana,
But Maidana’s desire to be the best can be dangerous for Mayweather, if he is
not careful. The aggressive style of Maidana has earned him knockouts in 82
percent of his victories. Needless to say, May 3rd is going to be a
great fight. But in the end, I believe Floyd is going to win by a unanimous
decision.
