I don't know why idiots keep saying "Donaire's ducking Mares". Are you ****ing kidding me? Donaire hit Mathebula with his left cross out-balanced and Jeffrey thought he got hit by lighting. Donaire broke his jaw around the 10th with his right. As aggressive as Abner is, Donaire will be having a batting practice with his patented devastating counter left-cross. I don't know if Abner's chin hold up. Rigo? Now that's another story.
atsch You cant be for real with this non-sense! Mares is a tough fight for anybody in his class, in no way, shape or form is Donaire is going to just walk through Mares.
Ironically, Donaire is just as close in age to Arce as he is Mares. I don't anticipate a Donaire/Mares fight happening anytime soon due to the Top Rank/GBP fued.
I'm sure Nonito or Rigo would be favored to win, but no way in hell would either walk through Mares. He'd give them hell or could upset either one of them. Moreno is another that could do the same.
Mares would outbox and outfight donaire, early mares will control with his straight punches and later on pile the pressure on to make victory that little bit more sweeter.
I might have overstate it a little but what I'm saying is, if Mares fights Donaire the way he fights then it'll be an easy easy fight for Nonito. Watch how Abner goes inside and delivers his body shot he usually doesn't tucked his right hand to his chin and he will be very susceptible to that counter left-cross. He might survive the first hit but the 2nd and 3rd will be lights out.
