Super Lightweights : Patrizio Oliva vs. Marcos Maidana

[Woldemar]

IMO Maidana by KO 8

What your picks?

[giacomino]

Maybe a little later, but also pick Maidana by KO. Oliva would outbox him early but Maidana would wear on him in the second half of the fight and Oliva wouldn't have the firepower to avoid Marcos the whole fight

I don't know much about Oliva tbh, could he pull a Kotelnik

He was a different kind of fighter. Boxed and moved. Very good amateur but I sometimes thought he fought like that as a pro. It's unclear whether he had Kotelnik's chin. His KO loss to Coggi was bad but he didn't have a history of glass-chin moments, so Just seemed like Maidana's pressure would eventually make the difference.
