Who is swift on their feet, has an iron body, and slips punches well?
Marcos "About Sledgehammers" Maidana.
People need to stop saying Maidana is a slow plodding, wild swinging, face first fighter when in fact if you actually paid attention, you would realize that he orchestrates his offense behind a well educated jab, and can connect from both donwstairs and upstair with a variety of punches and feints from different angles, and he excels at cutting off the ring. Another ring underrated with el chino is his defense, he blocks punches well, and he slips punches well as well, whether its pivoting away and rolling, or staying inside and using the opportunity to go low, or come upstairs with savage uppercuts and violent hooks.
