SAN ANTONIO - Former two-division world champion Marcos Maidana has been inactive since September of 2014. The fighter has been relaxing back home in Argentina and spending his hard earned money from the back to back fights with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
On Saturday night, he was present in the state of Texas to support his younger brother - rising prospect Fabian Maidana (10-0, 7 KOs) - who scored a seventh-round technical knockout victory over Jorge Maysonet Jr. (13-2, 11 KOs) Saturday night in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on NBCSN from the Scottish Rite Auditorium in San Antonio.

The Argentine-slugger overcame a slow start and a first-round bloody nose for a sensational one-sided beat-down of the Puerto Rican brawler Maysonet, who failed to answer the bell for the seventh round of Saturday's main event.
Referee Rafael Ramos, acting on the advice of Maysonet's corner, called the fight as Maidana dominated the punch stats with a 60-22 advantage in overall punches, 49-15 in power shots, and 11-7 in jabs.
