February 25th, 2012. Former IBF Light Welterweight & WBC Light Welterweight Champion Devon Alexander “The Great” and former WBA Light Welterweight Champion Marcos Maidana aka “El Chino” collided in a 10 rounder for their Welterweight debuts.
Prefight records; Alexander 22(13)-1, Maidana 31(29)-2.
Entering the bout, the 28 year old Maidana (who was a 1.5-1 betting underdog) had wins against notable oppositions such as DeMarcus Corley, Erik Morales, Petr Petrov, Victor Cayo & Victor Ortiz while the 25 year old Alexander had top triumphs over the likes of Andriy Kotelnik, DeMarcus Corley, Juan Urango, Junior Witter & Lucas Matthysse.
It was an action packed but one sided affair for Alexander who outlanded and outworked the hard hitting Maidana to clearly win most if not every round.
In rounds 1 & 2, both fighters had their moments but Alexander was more accurate and showed a better defense.
In round 3, Alexander was cut over his right eye just like in his fights against Bradley, Matthysse & Kotelnik.
In round 6, Maidana was hurt with a right hook to the head and then with a left hand to the body which Alexander followed up with another straight left hand upstairs that appeared to have resulted in a knockdown. However, referee Steve Smoger ruled it a slip as Alexander might have have pushed Maidana down by leaning on him. With less than 30 seconds to go, Maidana managed to survive an incessant onslaught by Alexander.
In round 8, Maidana was hurt with a left hand downstairs and then rocked backward twice with fusillades of head shots.
In rounds 9 & 10, Alexander continued to tag Maidana effectively whilst evading most of his attacks.
After 30 minutes of action, Alexander was victorious via a lopsided UD10 with scores of 99-91 & 100-90 (2x).
Devon Alexander went on to become a 2 weight world champion in his next fight on October 20th 2012 with a UD12 victory over “The Knock-Out King” Randall Bailey to win the IBF Welterweight Championship.

I’ve never seen Maidana get totally dominated like this 😮

[@soprano4ny]

I sure do miss HBO Boxing! It was always the classiest organization out there. ❤️🐜

[@Duel1982]

This was great learning experience for Maidana. Forced him to deal with handspeed, learn how to work his way around getting clinched, and realized he needed an elite coach at the elite level. That version of Alexander would give the top 147 issues today.

[@Drsamjolayemi]

This is the best performance of Devon in his career. He was 100% that night.

[@LeadLeftLeon]

And Maidana was better than many thought. This fight was competitive. And years later he’d give Floyd two tough matches

Devon took Maidana apart. Surprised because in most of Maidana's fights, he always stood a chance. Not in this one

[@TwistedTransistor88]

styles make fights, prime bradley would've beaten maidana even worse.

[@Soletar77]

@TwistedTransistor88 that's interesting... what about Bradley and Devon's styles are kryptonite to Maidana's aggression? I am asking being a new boxing fan who might not know some nuances.

[@SuperCrazyEstonian]

@@Soletar77 Styles make fights, but Maidana this was a bad period for Maidana. He simply was not at his best and he admitted it years later. He then got a new team and went on an absolute tear. I say with full confidence that Devon could not have beaten the 2013 version of Maidana.

[@riverelmasgrande5645]

@@TwistedTransistor88 bradley va al frente no huye y si con el chino vas al frente te noquea, aca fue cuando el chino cambia de categoria de peso,de esta pelea en adelante el empezo a ganar, bradley peleo con otro argentino de menor jerarquia y empato, el chino seguramente lo noqueaba, estos estilos que se mueven mucho y son rapidos como lo paso con kan no les beneficiaba.

[@OrtizAllDay]

Marcos does his best work on the inside, Devon’s strategy was to clinch when Marcos got on the inside. So the referee could break it up and put it in the center of the ring. A good strategy as long as the referee allows it and don’t take points away from holding to much. Marcos only chance at winning is making it a rough and tough fight. Similar to what he did to Floyd the first fight they had.

[@Kingwboxing]

In this fight Alexander made Maidana look ordinary. This was before Maidana had Robert Garcia.

[@Lucas10511]

Devon Alexander ganó bastante bien pero a Maidana se lo vió al menos en un 70% de lo que es como boxeador. Si hubiera estado al 100% se hubiera visto una pelea más justa. No son excusas, Maidana perdió pero le faltaba agresividad, velocidad, aire.

This shows you Maidana before using loaded gloves. He had above average power, but Devon was taking his shots when he beat Broner he had out of this world power. That’s why Floyd made him use real gloves lost a lot of that crazy power.?

[@vamoneygroup]

@@Sir-Kay Alex Ariza is the best strength and conditioning coach in boxing. He worked with Pacman, Corrales, Khan, Linares etc. Ariza made him a monster.

[@Sir-Kay]

@@vamoneygroup That's bs, no amount of training on earth makes you improve that much within a year logically speaking because, after the Floyd fight, he went on to be forgotten and Canelo that barely made any impact during that fight became somebody. Maidana took it personally because remember, every Mexican wanted to take away that 0 'cos Floyd wouldn't stop trolling latinos so, it was personal. Maidana might just be one of those fighter who can't handle fair trade, as we all know Floyd became a defensive/passive fighter after he broke his arm or as Mexicans would say, "boring fighter".

[@vamoneygroup]

@@Sir-Kay you are completely unaware of supplements and their potency. So I'll attempt to inform you. Some supplements can be the difference between setting a record at the olympics or not even making it to the finals. There is no way to exaggeratr the benefit of certain types of supplements.
