Last Saturday at Luna Park in Argentina, WBA interim junior welterweight champion Marcos Maidana won a very tough twelve round decision over former champion DeMarcus Corley. The scores were 117-110, 117-110 and 115-112. Corley made the fight close when he was able to stand on the inside with Maidana and trade punches. Maidana became very tired in the last four rounds. Corley took advatage of Maidana's lack of strength by pressing the action to win several of those last rounds.

Corley felt he did enough to get a decision. He wants a rematch but doesn't think he will get one.

"You saw it. I did the better things in there, but the judges didn't want to give it to me. I know I won, and he knows that I beat him. Of course I want a rematch, but he'll never give it to me," Corley told Ernesto Johnson.

Corley went down in the seventh. He doesn't deny the punch that caught him. He does say Maidana is not the vicious puncher that everyone makes him out to be.

"He caught me, but he does not hit as hard as you think," Corley said.
