Maidana looks like a completely improved fighter to me. Still the agression and killer instinct, but it's a smarter and more efficient now. His defense and tighter/quicker punches are what I have noticed the most in the last two fights since training with Garcia. He will only improve upon this style.
I don't see how Garcia beats him. Garcia is garbage. Maidana can go down, and has before, but his chin is solid and he recovers as good as anyone in the sport.
Someone also said Garcia has a speed advantage. Where? I don't see it in the hands or legs. Especially if you just look at the Maidana, Garcia has trained. Maidana throws far tighter and quicker punches now, Garcia doesn't know what a tight punch looks like. They may be equal in power, but I think Garcia gets hit a lot more and gets stopped.
