Maidana bludgeons Broner, takes WBA welterweight belt

/ 02:48 PM December 15, 2013

SAN ANTONIO, Texas—Marcos Maidana overpowered Adrien Broner to take the World Boxing Association welterweight championship, knocking him down twice in a unanimous decision Saturday (San Antonio time) night.

Maidana was dominant in handing Broner his first loss in 28 bouts. After the judges’ scores of 115-110, 116-109 and 117-109 were announced in favor of the Argentine boxer, Broner ran out of the ring.

Broner is nicknamed “The Problem,” but Maidana (35-3) had the answer with power that the three-time world champion had never faced before.

With the victory, Maidana set up a possible fight against Keith Thurman, who stopped Jesus Soto Karass in the ninth round on the undercard.
