I've seen him box well backing up and stepping forward. And most importantly he makes adjustments on the fly. He's a good fighter. He's not the prettiest. Or cutest. But he's effective.
He's definitely my favorite fighter. He won me over when I witnessed him stop a best-shape-of-his-life Jesus Soto Karass. It was amazing. The fight got really rough, and Maidana executed his gameplan without missing a heartbeat. He was in the zone. The fight was so chaotic, so violent, yet Maidana looked so calm like a worker in his office. Brawling in its purest form. Soto Karass was a dead man.
