    Welterweight titlist Marco Maidana and Adrien Broner are still headed toward a rematch, but it isn't going to be in April, as Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer and Showtime had planned.

    Maidana scored two knockdowns and outpointed Broner to hand him his first defeat and win a 147-pound title in a dramatic fight on Dec. 14 in San Antonio. Earlier this month, Broner exercised his contractual right to a rematch and Schaefer said it would take place either April 19 or April 26.

    But that was news to Maidana.

    Although Maidana and manager Sebastian Contursi acknowledge Broner's right to a rematch, Contursi said Maidana won't be available to fight in April.

    "After [Schaefer's] announcement [about April] had been made, [Maidana adviser] Al Haymon called me on the phone and we had this chat in which I explained to him that April was to soon for Maidana," Contursi told ESPN.com. "We did not get into any specifics of the potential rematch at all, but I've explained to him that Maidana is having a long-deserved vacation and, on top of that, his girlfriend Mariana is due to have their daughter in mid-March, and Maidana wants to be around for the birth.

    "We've thought Maidana's impressive win was gonna earn him a unification fight against Mayweather in May. But one thing is Mayweather, and a totally different thing is Broner, needless to say. Mayweather is the best and he obviously calls the shots, but Broner is coming off a beating at the hands of Maidana, so if Al and [Golden Boy] think that a rematch is the best option, we need to understand Maidana [wants] to rest a bit before engaging himself in yet another fight with the guy he's just beaten. I think Al understood it and he said we'll talk again in the next few days."

    All of this means that a rematch between Maidana (35-3, 31 KOs) and Broner (27-1, 22 KOs) probably will be pushed into at least the early summer.

    Me thinks this has more to do with Broner advisers advising him to think long and hard.


    I think Broner should take a tune up before, just to get back in to the swing of things.

    Glad we have some people where with common sense.:good

    Actually this whole Broner gonna have instant rematch was nothing more than a stunt for trying to safe some of the faces Broner has left after Maidana's ass whoop and keep the market values high of young Dawg. I mean Broner's stocks suffered quite a crash.:smoke

    I agree with Maidana on that. If it wasn't for the rematch clause in the contract I don't see any reason for it. The fight was decisive and Broner should work his way back up. Broner just wasn't ready for he got himself into and wouldn't be ready in April. This fight game is serious if you wanna stay on top and he needs to grasp the seriousness of that and put in the proper work and dedication.

    You don't take no tune up. You go straight for the rematch. When you get beat up, you don't go fight another dude, then go back to the dude you lost to. 3 division champs don't do that.

    Broner just has to wait until Maidana has his baby.

    Matthysses's fans have suffered up until Broner got beat. Now they are Maidana fans. These same fans picked Broner to win and when Maidana won...they hopped on the bandwagon the minute Chino won.

    I hope Broner wins the rematch so that Argentina will be temporarily wiped off the boxing map. Then who are you going to ride with? #Bandwagonfans

    Have Broner receive some brain stem cells first. let them grow, hopefully, then consider options.
