Marcos Maidana vows to score a win in his upcoming rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. And days ahead of the fight, the Argentine boxer is dedicating his victory to his Latino fans.

Maidana almost scored a huge upset against Mayweather in their first showdown in May before the reigning pound-for-pound king escaped with a majority decision win. In their second fight, the Buenos Aires, Argentina native said that he won't let victory slip through his fingers again.

"I'm planning on winning on Saturday and I'd like to dedicate my future victory to all my fans out there, especially to all my Latino fans," Maidana said via BoxingScene. "I have 12 more rounds to finish the job, that's what I'm here for."

Maidana, who will look to reclaim the World Boxing Organization welterweight title he lost during the first showdown, recently admitted that he got tired during the first fight, but he reiterated that he is more prepared heading into Saturday's match.

The 31-year-old said that he will not be intimidated by the unbeaten champion, saying that he already knows what to expect from Mayweather, and that the Grand Rapids, Michigan native is not unbeatable as other people think.

"I'm well prepared and ready to show that Mayweather isn't all that everyone thinks he is," Maidana said. "When I first analyzed Mayweather I thought he would be too fast to hit. But that wasn't the case during the fight, I was able to hit him and keep him against the ropes and I plan on doing the same thing again."

Maidana also added that scoring a knockout will be his main goal to avoid absorbing another controversial decision loss, but he reiterated that he is also ready to go the distance to win.

"I'm definitely going to look for the knockout like I always do but I will take the victory any way I can," said Maidana, who holds a 35-4 record with 31 knockouts.
