Johnny Nelson: Marcos Maidana impressive in win over Adrien Broner

Adrien Broner is nicknamed the Problem, but he had serious problems with Marcos Maidana's power on Saturday night, as the Argentine took a shock win in San Antonio.

Purdy

There was more welterweight action on Sky Sports on Saturday when Lee Purdy just fell short against Leonard Bundu. In fairness to Purdy, Bundu was absolutely outstanding! I know he's European champion - but where has Bundu been? The Italian was brilliant - he can bang, he can fight, he can punch... Purdy showed a lot of bottle and took it to him but you could see him wilting as the fight rolled on. Bundu smartly changed tactics halfway through the fight; he first tried to fight Purdy but saw the man from Essex was comfortable stood in front of him in that kind of battle, so went on to the back foot, used his jab and that's what beat Purdy. To have the fitness and brain to do that in the heat of the bout was impressive from Bundu. Purdy produced an excellent performance but in the championship rounds Bundu proved to be too good for him and now the Englishman has to go back to the domestic ranks. This loss came on the back of a defeat to Alexander and Purdy needs to get back to winning ways to rebuild his confidence.

Mitchell

One man who isn't short on confidence, though, is Kevin Mitchell, who stopped Karim El Ouazghari on the same bill as Purdy at the ExCel in London. The Romford fighter was outstanding and impressive in everything he did. He's talking about how he's back in love with boxing and when that passion is there he can produce performances like that. He now should be looking to take on fighters who have their eyes on world title shots - that's what I'd be doing if I was in his position. He needs to stay busy and if he can record a couple of big wins against ambitious fighters then his confidence and reckoning will grow and grow.
