Argentina's Marcos "Chino" Maidana began the sparring stage of his training camp for the junior welterweight bout against against Erik "Terrible" Morales, to be held on April 9 in Las Vegas. Maidana went four rounds with tough lightweight Daniel "Tremendous" Estrada, at the gym Boxing Gala.

According to Rudy Perez, Maidana's new trainer, as the days progress he's going to increase Marcos practices, both in the gym and in fitness. "I'll make him run at La Pila (in the direction of the Marquesa)."

The renowned coach said Maidana is "eager to put in work." Perez said Maidana has had different preparations in the gym Boxing Sports Gala and Pino Suarez.

"He feels so comfortable and I am happy. He knows very well to expect a tough fight from Érik and we must win it."

Estrada, meanwhile, is ready to fight on the 11 of this month at Jose Cuervo Salon, on the same card in which Mariana Juárez, the flyweight interim-champion of the World Boxing Council, will clash with Italy's Simona Galassi.
