31 year old Marcos Maidana is off to face Floyd Mayweather this coming September 13 for a title rematch. It can be remembered that Maidana lost to via majority decision to Mayweather where he lost his title.

When ask about Mayweather "He's not as good as people think. I was able to pin him to the ropes and land punches, so he's not as difficult or as invincible as people think. He's hittable. You can land on him. I made mistakes. I was a little too anxious. He never hurt me, but he's got a respectable punch. You've got to respect him."

Maidana said that he did not overhaul himself in order to face Mayweather this coming month saying "[I'm] just working on my distance control and a couple other minor changes."

But on the other hand, he believes that he has already improved enough to face the boxer. He said "Mayweather) can obviously change and get better, but I can change and get better too. The only thing he can do is box and that's what he did in the first fight. He was moving a lot. What is he going to do? Move more?"

According to Maidana he needs improvement on his conditioning and pacing as during his previous match, he became tired during the later rounds. He said "Yes. I did [tire in the second half of the fight with Mayweather]. I came out strong the first six or seven rounds, and after that I had to take a break and catch my breath a little bit. I had to pace myself. I have to not get as anxious for this fight."

It can be remembered that both fighters had a disagreement a day before their first fight last May 3. It was when Mayweather objected to Maidana requests to use a 227 gram gloves. For Mayweather, the eight ounce gloves didn't have enough padding.

Mayweather added "He wanted a rematch and I gave it to him. Don't complain about the gloves. He says he won the first fight so do it again with the same gloves."

But Maidana said this time around he is more ready for Mayweather saying "I've had a little more time to prepare for this fight. So this time I'm going to be ready."
