Marcos
Maidana had a resounding answer to "The Problem" on
Saturday night.
The
Argentine slugger came out swinging from the opening bell, knocked
Adrien "The Problem" Broner down twice and stunned the
boxing world by handing Broner his first career loss. Maidana won a
unanimous decision to take Broner's WBA welterweight title before a
raucous crowd of 11,312 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Broner
(27-1, 22 KOs) was put on the defensive by Maidana from the start of
the Showtime-televised bout. He was hurt badly in the second round
and went down after a staggering left hand from Maidana (35-3, 31
KOs), nicknamed "El Chino." Broner barely survived the
round. It was the first time in his career that the 24-year-old from
Cincinnati had been down. It wouldn't be the last.
Broner,
a three-division champion who was defending his welterweight belt for
the first time, went down again in the eighth off another crushing
left hand by Maidana, who then inexplicably head-butted Broner
intentionally and had a point taken away by referee Laurence Cole.
Broner acted like he was badly hurt, flopping onto the canvas. Cole
wasn't buying it, however, and brought the fighters back together
after a few minutes.
