Thats a solid card if this fight ends up being made. Its being discussed by GBP and Top Rank.
 
That would be fantastic. Holt/Maidana would be a good fight.
 
Now that's a solid ass fight. Bad match up for Holt though.
 
Maidana by Knocking Holt's head into the 10th row. Seems like a good night of fights though
 
there will be blood: Videos

Over to the right there is a video interview with Victor Ortiz. He says he begged Maidana for a rematch but was turned down. He has a cast on his wrist on from surgery. He also says "bro" about 196 times.
 
Three more potential opponents have emerged for a proposed Nov. 28 HBO opening bout involving interim junior welterweight titlist Marcos Maidana. Golden Boy and Top Rank have discussed ex-titleholder Kendall Holt, but another Top Rank fighter, Anthony Peterson, is also in the mix. The Peterson camp requested tapes of Maidana to take a look at him. There also has been discussion of a match with titleholder Devon Alexander, who stopped ex-titlist Junior Witter in eight rounds Aug. 1 to win a vacant belt. Kevin Cunningham, who trains and manages Alexander, really wants the fight. "We would love to give Maidana a shot at the title," he said. "We want the fight, HBO wants the fight, so why isn't [promoter Don King] getting off his ass to make the fight? It's the kind of exposure a young champion like Devon needs. Don should step out of the way and let Devon get on HBO and do his thing with another young, up-and-coming guy like Maidana. He had a huge win over Ortiz, and Devon had a huge win over Witter. Don should step back and let his star shine." Another possibility is former lightweight titlist Nate Campbell, who is also with King. HBO has approved all four fighters for Maidana. One issue that could knock Maidana off the show, however, is a battle over his TV rights in Argentina, according to Maidana co-promoter Golden Boy. Maidana has been fighting on a network there that wants to continue showing his fights, but HBO wants the rights to the bout for its South American arm, which is available in Argentina.

"We want the fight, HBO wants the fight, so why isn't Don King getting off his ass to make the fight?" - Good stuff from Alexander's manager.
 
If Khan wins and has 90 days to fight Maidana, I bet Khan drops the belt.
