I like Guerrero in this one but it should be a good fight. Guerrero is probably going to be too solid of boxer for Madaina but the size difference could come into play here. Good fight, Guerrero by decision.
It's too difficult for me to pick one. Maidana's the better brawler - more aggressive and a better workrate it seems. But Matthysse's the slightly better boxer out of the two. He's also got a better defence. Make it happen, Golden Boy!
Guerrero is kind of funny, sometimes he looks unbeatable, sometimes he looks way too passive and kind of ineffectual. When he's on his game he would, imho, destroy Maidana. He's a ****ing badass when everything is working, excellent power, great boxing skills, aggressive style.
Maidana by TKO. Guerrero is good but having Maidana as your 1st fight moving up is not a good idea. I see Maidana wearing the ghost down and stopping him late in the fight.
Maidana is too big and too powerful for Guerrero. Guerrero will be KO'd horribly. He doesn't have enough pop to keep Maidana off of him.
That's exactly how I feel. I'm a big fan of Maidana and Guerrero. Guerrero is a nice guy and pretty underrated I feel, easy to root for, but I want to see Maidana-Matthysse soo bad.
I've seen Maidana get flattened by two hard hitting guys in Ortiz and Khan...and he kept coming after them. Nothing to make me believe he won't keep coming after Guerrero even if he floors him. I think Maidana catches up to him at some point.
