The first quarter of 2012 is shaping up in the boxing world and already some intriguing fights have been set. On February 25th, brazen puncher Marcos Maidana will travel into former champion Devon Alexander?s hometown of Saint Louis, Missouri in a can?t-miss attraction. Both men will be moving up to 147 pounds for the contest and the clash of styles will showcase the relentless aggression and brute power of Maidana against the slick, southpaw style of Alexander.
For nearly the last five weeks, Maidana has been training in the Province of Santa Fe in his native Argentina and will be traveling to Puerto Rico on January 2nd where he will set up his official camp for the fight.
A soft-spoken soul, I caught up with Team Maidana to get Marcos? take on the challenge that Alexander presents and what he has thought of some of the close decisions that have gone in his favor in bouts with Andriy Kotelnik and Lucas Matthysse.
