Marcos Maidana Knocks Out Victor Cayo with Vicious Body Shot

Marcos Maidana took another step forward in the light welterweight division by knocking out future contender Victor Cayo with a solid body shot in the middle rounds. Cayo looked good in the fight but seemed to be weary of Maidana's power. Maidana ultimately caught Cayo with a great body shot that put him down for the ten count. Cayo looked impressive at times during the fight but didn't have the mature defense to hold on against Maidana. Maidana now needs to stop fighting young contenders and find a truly established light welterweight to battle against. Amir Khan is too young, still maturing his defense and, quite frankly, has better options out there. Maidana needs to fight a Timothy Bradley or Ricky Hatton type mature top fighter now who might need this fight to get back into title contention or generate more interest (Bradley).
