Marcos Maidana (35-3, 31 KO’s) pulled off a huge upset tonight in defeating WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-1, 22 KO’s) by a 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. The final judges scores were 115-110, 116-109, 117-109. Maidana knocked Broner down in the 2nd and 8th rounds with tremendous left hooks to the head. Broner was badly hurt in the 2nd round, as he got up on weak legs and took punishment for the entire round. It’s surprising that Broner was able to make it out of the round. Maidana was too strong for Broner and was able to hurt Broner at least 5 or 6 times in the fight with big left hooks. Broner took the shots but they had him on shaky legs.

Surprised by this fight. I was wanting to see Adrien Broner fight Mayweather. it could still happen, but will not have the same meaning to me.
Looks like Alexis Ariza might've slipped Maidana some smelling salts during the fight. After Rios' failed test, this could be horrible.
