After a contentious press tour and build up to the much anticipated rematch, “Mayhem” is upon us.
September 13, 2014 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, Marcos “Chino” Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs) gets his rematch. The challenge, can he knock off the undefeated pound-for-pound king, Floyd “Money” Mayweather (46-0, 26 KOs)?
The bout will air live on Showtime pay-per-view.
Mayweather is staring at just the second rematch of his career. The first was against Jose Luis Castillo whom many fans still contend beat Mayweather in their first fight. Mayweather clearly won their second battle more convincingly, yet still struggled at times with Castillo.
Clearly the underdog, odds are currently floating around the 8-1 range against Maidana.
What does Maidana need to do to both improve on his performance in their fist fight and to ultimately upset Mayweather? Clearly there is more on the line than just Mayweather’s titles. This fight has the capacity to impact the entire sport as a whole.
For Maidana to upset the apple cart and turn the world of boxing upside down there are three critical keys in beating Mayweather.
