Short Maidana interview after the fight (video in spanish, I translated)

Did you think the fight was gonna end that way?

I was looking for the KO, I knew if I connected I was gonna KO him. But well, he connected first and knocked me down but I was able to get up.

It's a big merit to get knocked down, then get up and win, was it complicated for you?

It was complicated because I was going for him and he's a very good counter-puncher. He was able to get me with 2-3 combinations and I got knocked down.

Was there a moment when you thought you were gonna lose the fight?

No. Because I was able to get up and said this fight is mine and I fought with balls.

Did you think you were gonna win like this, by TKO?

I think he was gonna beat me by points but not by KO (don't think he meant he was gonna lose, just that if he were to lose it wasn't going to be by KO)

Who do you dedicate this fight to? What do you want to tell the people?

Thanks for the support to everyone that's watching me, I'm very happy.

What's next?

Whatever comes.


There you go. Straight from mini-yao-ming.
