I am surprised that Maidana would not be SCREAMING for a rematch with Amir Khan, rather than a fight with Danny Garcia. I understand that Danny embarrassed his county man, but Maidana was close to finishing Khan, and has improved since then:
December 12, 2010:
Amir Khan, still a world champion but headed for hospital, mumbled through the bruises and cuts that dressed a face rearranged only moments before by Marcos Maidana: "I proved tonight I've got a chin."
What an understatement. The 4,632 fans scattered around an arena that holds twice that number in the bowels of the Mandalay Bay last night were brought to their feet in a frenzy in round 10 as the Argentinian challenger – who came to the fight with an 87% stoppage record – belted Khan from one side of the ring to the other.
He landed blows, unanswered, that would have destroyed any other fighter of comparable size in the world, including Khan's friend and stablemate, Manny Pacquiao. Yet, drawing on his phenomenal fitness, the boy from Bolton somehow remained upright to retain his WBA light-welterweight title. The judges gave it to him over 12 rounds by margins of 114-111 twice and 113-112. Had one judge, Jerry Roth, not bizarrely awarded the final round to the champion, Khan would have won by a single point on all three cards.
