WBA-interim junior welterweight champion Marcos Maidana is in training for his upcoming clash with undefeated Victor Cayo on March 27 in Las Vegas. Maidana is not underestimating Cayo. He views him as a very good opponent.
"I saw several videos of him. He has a good style, he moves well, he's fast. I don't think that he will be able to withstand my power, and if he is, I am prepared to win on points," Maidana said.
Maidana has been the mandatory to full champion Amir Khan for the last few months. Khan stepped around Maidana to fight Paulie Malignaggi on May 15. Maidana plans to take two fights in the United States and then he is going to target a unification of the WBA titles with Khan. He is confident of beating Khan by knockout.
"You know, Khan doesn't want to face me at the moment. This shows his intelligence. I would have liked to make a unification fight right now, but my manager Mario Margossian advised me that it would be better to make two fights in the U.S. before the unification, which will be a very important fight," Maidana said.
"I have watched various tapes of Khan's fights and know him quite well. He will not be able to resist my attacks. I am sure that I am going to win by KO."
