Mario Barrios wasn’t great, but he was good enough.
The welterweight contender dropped and defeated a defense-minded Fabian Maidana by a unanimous decision in a 12 round fight on the Canelo Alvarez-Jaime Munguia card Saturday in Las Vegas.
All three official judges had the same score, 116-111, eight rounds to four.
Neither fighter was particularly active. Barrios (29-2, 18 KOs) stalked Maidana (22-3, 16 KOs) for most of the fight but his feet were busier than his hands, as he threw mostly single punches.
In his most recent fight, the 28-year-old clinched a unanimous decision win over Yordenis Ugas to capture the WBC interim welterweight title.On the other hand, Maidana (22-2) is yet to win a major world title. However, has captured the WBC Latino welterweight title during his career. In his most recent fight, the 31-year-old claimed a unanimous decision win over Israel Lopez to retain his WBC belt.
