Marcos Maidana of Argentina will be the latest fighter to try and hand Adrien Broner his first defeat when he challenges Broner for his welterweight championship Dec. 14 at the Alamodome in San Antonio (on Showtime).

The hard-hitting Maidana (34-3, 31 KOs) was asked during a news conference last week formally announcing the fight about his plan of attack. He laid it out in simple fashion.

“The key is to throw a lot of punches,” said Maidana, 30. “Pressure him, kick his (butt). And that’s what I am going to do.”

Broner, just 24, is 27-0 with 22 knockouts and has already won titles in three weight classes.

Adrien Broner is the latest loudmouth in boxing. He was in rare form Thursday at a news conference at the Alamodome in San Antonio formally announcing his Dec. 14 welterweight title defense there against Marcos Maidana of Argentina (on Showtime).

Broner, of Cincinnati, was directing a comment at Maidana regarding Maidana these days being trained by world-class Robert Garcia out of Oxnard; they hooked up in April 2012.

“You can train different,” Broner said. “You can lift weights with your teeth. You can push cars for two months straight. That doesn’t matter. I got the skills to pay the bills and I got enough will, my last name could be Smith.”

Broner talked about how lovable he is – not.

“There are a lot of people who hate me, but the haters are going to love me at the end of the day,” he said. “They just don’t know it yet. On Dec 14 I hope my haters become fans. You’ll love me eventually because I love all y’all.”

Then he decided to bring two former NBA players into it when he was talking about how this fight is going to go down.

“It’s going to be a hell of a fight,” Broner said. “I can promise you this – it’s going to get ugly. I am talking Sam Cassell, Tyrone Hill ugly. I don’t know if he’s faking that he doesn’t speak English. But after Dec 14, he’ll speak English. I am going for the knockout. Strap up.”

(Maidana, of Argentina, has always needed a translator when doing interviews with English-language reporters.)

Broner, of course, can back up his mouth. He is 27-0 with 22 knockouts and at just 24 years old, he has won titles in three weight classes.

Maidana, 30, is 34-3 with 31 knockouts.

Golden Boy Promotions and Showtime on Saturday announced it has moved and re-shaped the Dec. 14 card that will feature Adrien Broner of Cincinnati defending his welterweight title against Marcoa Maidana of Argentina in the main event.

Originally the event was tentatively slated to take place at MGM Grand in Las Vegas and be televised on Showtime’s pay-per-view arm. It has been moved to the Alamodome in San Antonio and will now be available on regular Showtime.

Golden Boy also announced that a Nov. 30 card slated for Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio has been canceled, with the fighters from that card ending up on the Dec. 7 Showtime card at Barclays Center in Brooklyn where the headliner will be Paulie Malignaggi-Zab Judah, and the aforementioned Dec. 14 gig.

Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy, and Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza basically said the changes were made for the better, that Broner will eventually be a headliner in Las Vegas and a pay-per-view star, but that he will be seen by more viewers on regular Showtime and for him, that’s beneficial.

And San Antonio has terrific fight fans. The Alamodome had some 40,000 in it when Saul “Canelo” Alvarez defeated Austin Trout there in April.

“I really feel with what San Antonio has done this year with 40,000 for ‘Canelo,’ I just thought this was the right thing to do as well, not just cancelling the Nov. 30 card, but rewarding San Antonio with another big card,” Schaefer said.

The Nov. 30 headliner was to feature Devon Alexander defending his welterweight title against Shawn Porter. That fight will now be underneath Malignaggi-Judah.

Also on that card, Erislandy Lara of Cuba and Austin Trout will square off for a vacant super welterweight championship. And Sakio Bika will defend his super middleweight belt against 2004 U.S. Olympian Andre Dirrell.

Four fights will be televised on both December cards.

To add to the Dec. 14 card, former champion Victor Ortiz will return to action for the first time since having his jaw broken by Josesito Lopez in June 2012. He will take on Alfonso Gomez.

These changes were announced from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, where Bernard Hopkins is defending his light heavyweight title against Karo Murat on Saturday night on Showtime.
