'El Azteca' successfully defended his title belt in his first fight this year.
– While all the talk in the boxing world has been focused on the war of words between Canelo Alvarez and his former promoter Oscar De La Hoya, fighters like Mario Barrios have kept their focus on the task at hand.
Maidana responded in the fourth, squaring up and delivering a hard left that almost caught Barrios off balance. Maidana continued to attack in the next round and that’s when it appeared that Barrios was raising his gloves to his head, spending more time protecting the right side of his face. It became noticeable that Barrios’ face was starting to swell just under his right eye.
However, Maidana could not take advantage of a weakened Barrios. Maidana looked gassed by the ninth round while Barrios used his left jab to continue to land clean punches with little resistance from his opponent.In the end, all three judges at ringside scored the fight the same - 116 to 111, all in favor of Mario Barrios, who wins by unanimous decision.
