Comments Thread For: Thrilling Maidana Deflates The Undefeated Cayo Train

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - There are some fighters who, if given the chance, are never going to miss a chance at a knockout blow.

Previously undefeated 25-year old Jr. Welterweight Victor Cayo (24-1, 16 KO) of the Dominican Republic fought with heart and character against 26-year old Argentine Marcos Maidana (28-1, 27 KO) on Saturday night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. He also gave Maidana the chance in round number six, Cayo sent home on a single brutal body shot. Both men weighed in at the division limit of 140 lbs.

The Dominican slickster boxed well enough for all of the first six minutes, Maidana pressing while Cayo moved and wisely kept his distance. It was the second after six that got him in trouble, Maidana landing a harsh left hand after the bell to end round two and dropping Cayo to the seat of his trunks. Referee Joe Cortez ruled a knockdown and Cayo rose before the count of ten, his corner excoriating Cortez for allowing the blow to count. [Click Here To Read More]

That sound you hear is Amir Khan's camp scrambling to work on more excuses for not fighting this kid....

holy **** chino ... Kayo'd ..... cayo ... ... it seems like Amir Khan doesn't want any part of you ....

I like Cayo but it looks like maidana could be the real deal. Props to him. I say he takes it to khan nasty style. And Ortiz is history. Maidana is prob way better at this point and his confidence is prob at peak.

Great fight...Maidana doesnt have the best skills but has
alot of heart.Hopefully cayo rebounds he's a good prospect.

Maidana's power makes him a threat to anyone he gets in the ring with. He is the hardest puncher at 140 now.

Maidana's is a hellva puncher, starting to become a fan.

Not just because I'm an Amir Khan fan, but Maidana didn't look too great in that fight. Khan is better than Cayo is every department (except the chin), and Cayo was giving Maidana problems, and even thoroughly outboxing him at points. A more experienced Cayo, with a better defence and better conditioning would probably beat Maidana.

I hope Khan faces Maidana after Mallignaggi, because it's a very winnable fight.

Good fight, nice work by Maidana hes a tough entertaining fighter.
