Sam Maxwell vs. Joe Hughes is an even match-up in many ways. Hughes is the more experienced guy and has faced better opposition but he has lost to the better opposition. Maxwell was as close to losing as you can get without actually losing when he had his fight against frenchman Sabri Sediri. He was knocked down several times and most likely down on points before he miraculously nailed Sabri with a tremendous shot and was able to stop him with just seconds left in the fight. So we know that he has that toughness about him even in fights that aren´t going his way. He will keep fighting til the end and he proved that he carries power late in to fight.
