Marcos Maidana (33-3, 30 KOs) had an easy stay-busy fight last night, dispatching Angel Martinez (19-4, 9 KOs) in three rounds at Luna Park Stadium in Bueno Aires, Argentina. The outgunned Martinez managed to avoid Maidana’s wide right hands in the first round with deft movement, but the power behind Maidana’s shots prevented him for taking chances on offense. Maidana began inflicting damage in the second with heavy hooks to the body and head mixed with upper body movement to stop clinches.
Maidana ended matters in the third by cornering Martinez and dropping him with a body left hook.
Maidana is targeting is next big fight to be in the U.S. against either Robert Guerrero or Paulie Malignaggi.
