Fabio Maldonado is scheduled to box the 2nd best heavyweight from Latin America

Normally you get a step up along the way. By 30 fights you should have fought someone with a pulse unless you started your pro career at 15-16 like some mexicans.

I don't remember the exact number but iirc Maldonado's opponents had a total record of 25-160 or something like that. That's under 5fights caliber fighter.

Edit: Ooooh shit! He's fighting Oscar Rivas who trains in my town! That dude is a beast... Maldonado's going to wish he was in the cage with Glover again

Wow Fabio actually has decent pro boxing credentials.

No he doesn't.

unless you are Vasyl Lomachenko

Lomachenko also has damn near 400 fights as an amateur with only one loss.

Rivas boxed at the Olympics in Beijing and beat Pulev (now a top 5 HW) before losing to Cammarelle, one of the best Heavyweights of all time in the amateurs

He will smash Fabio

Say what you will Fabio has some serious big balls.
Fought Stipe and Fedor in MMA and was rumored to fight Sergei too.
And now this.
I like Fabio. I hope his brain is okay.

Maldonado lost a lopsided ten round decision. 100-89, 99-90 and 99-90 were the scorecards.
