Marcos Maidana: I Feel Better at 140, 147 Didn't Work
This past Saturday night was a humbling one for Argentinean brute Marcos Maidana. Fighting inside of the Scottrade Center in his opponent Devon Alexander’ s native St. Louis, Missouri, Maidana was thoroughly outclassed over the course of ten agonizing rounds. The scorecards reading 100-90 twice and 99-91 were a reflection of just how dominant and precise Alexander was throughout the evening as Maidana struggled to get into an offensive rhythm.

Devon Alexander and Adrien Broner Dazzle in St. Louis
By Ryan Maquiñana - With his hometown crowd in full support, Devon Alexander’s handspeed, footwork, and precision punching carried him to a unanimous decision victory over Marcos Maidana at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo., Saturday night. “Speed kills,” Alexander said. “I'm working hard for St. Louis and to be the best in the world." Both former 140-pound titlists moved up to welterweight for this fight, and the age-old matchup between a southpaw boxer in Alexander (23-1, 13 KOs) and a pure orthodox pressure fighter in Maidana (31-3, 28 KOs) would play out as expected—just not in such a lopsided manner. "We train hard,” Alexander told HBO ringside commentator Max Kellerman. “Like I told you in the fighters' meeting, I was able to analyze myself and what I was doing wrong and we got the victory.” After an ugly technical decision defeat to Tim Bradley and so-so performance in a razor-sharp split nod over Lucas Matthysse, Alexander and longtime trainer Kevin Cunningham were determined to put a subpar 2011 behind them and start the year by making a statement.

Devon Alexander, Maidana and The Welterweight Flood
By Cliff Rold - It was only a matter of time. No matter how deep, no matter how exciting, being the best at Jr. Welterweight has rarely carried the cache that comes with owning the scale seven pounds up. When one thinks of Jr. Welterweight, the mind might wander to Nicolino Locche, Aaron Pryor, Julio Cesar Chavez, or Kostya Tszyu. When one ponders the history of Welterweight, the mind lusts for Mickey Walker, Henry Armstrong, Ray Robinson, Emile Griffith, and Ray Leonard. Welterweight wins. And who wants to be a “Jr.” anyways? It’s true even when the field at 140 lbs. is tougher and deeper than its larger counterpart. In recent years, 140 lbs. has been on par with Bantamweight and Super Middleweight in the race for ‘best division in boxing.’ It remains today the rare division with a top ten actually housing ten fighters worth rating. Welterweight has been as top heavy as any class in the game. Lineal World Welterweight Champion Floyd Mayweather (42-0, 26 KO) and titlist Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO) reside there, giving it more cache than any other spot on the scale. The drop from them to Andre Berto (28-1, 22 KO) and Victor Ortiz (29-3-2, 22 KO) is steep. There’s little to get anyone beyond the most devout interested from there. Hardcore fans have had a fulfilling ride at 140 but it’s been a grooming period for the inevitable rise. Heat rises. In boxing, so does talent. A lot of what has made Jr. Welterweight a hot spot is coming to Welterweight. This Saturday night on HBO, two of the best at Jr. Welterweight during its recent run, Marcos Maidana (31-2, 28 KO) and Devon Alexander (22-1, 13 KO), make their serious debuts at Welterweight. Maidana has left the door open for a return to 140. Alexander appears set to stay.
