Comments Thread For: Maidana Was Confident of KO Once Leg Felt Better

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Home Depot Center, Carson, California - Welterweight contender Marcos Maidana (34-3, 31KOs) says a shot to the hip in Saturday's fight against Josesito Lopez (30-6, 18KOs) was a serious concern in the fight. During the action, Maidana stated that his leg went numb and he had trouble moving for at least two rounds, which allowed Lopez to rally strong with big punches.

Once the pain in his hip went away, Maidana was very confident that he was capable of knocking Lopez out. The end came in the sixth, after Maidana dropped Josesito and then followed up by trapping him against the ropes and letting his hands go with hard landed punches. [Click Here To Read More]

I do remember that moment. Josesito jumped on Maidana when he saw him lift his leg and I thought that Chino was on the verge of getting stopped. At least we know why his offense turned off in the 4th.

Quite strange in boxing, but it makes some sense now.
It was the left leg, isn't it?

Exactly! I remember specifically at the end of the 4th he had Lopez backed up against the ropes & backed off him inexplicably & let him rally. It carried over into the next round too & I was like WTF is wrong with him.
