i dont see whats so special about mares?

I know exactly what you're saying.on the surface he just looks like an average fighter. I find he squares up too much too. but the guy has good heart and a good fighting spirit which seems to have taken him pretty far. obviously he's doing something right because he keeps winning against elite competition

 

Bhop was hated on in a similar fashion for his dirty tactics yet the mother****er is an ATG now..

You'll soon learn to respect him. Don't let the hate blind you.

 

I dont think anybody would dominate Moreno. Including Donaire and Rigo.

 

Yet he still had more success against Moreno than anyone ever before, and was the first guy to knock him down. you mad?:hat

 

I agree. Take away his dirtyness and he is above average.

 

Another thing to mention is that Mares succesfully adapted his style for this fight,

Mares is a boxer-puncher but he turned into a rabid swarmer this saturday in order to defeat the more skilled and taller slickster, and he prevailed.

Great fighters can adapt to all styles and Mares is proving to be one of them

 

Mares is a good dude. Give him the benefit of the doubt. One of the beautiful things about the sport of boxing is that someone who wasn't born with a type of Roy Jones or Mayweather talent can become an elite. Mares is special because he's beaten special fighters. He's not the most polished, well-rounded fighter but who really is these days with exception of a few? It took Pacquiao more than 5 yrs to develop a right hand. He was once crude as hell. Mares has one of the most impressive resumes today. He could be chasing old legends for a big payday but he isn't. He's fighting guys like Moreno and Agbeko and beating them. I'd rather support Mares than a hype job who hasn't proven ****.

 

you speak like Moreno is some kind of bum. You are prolly trolling tho.

 

I would favor Moreno against Donaire personally. He will frustrate the **** out of him.

 

The sign of a Truly Great Fighter, he doesn't just have one style, but can adapt to any style thrown out to him and change himself up to get the upper hand, with Abgeko 2 we saw an incredibly Smart boxer puncher, with Moreno a relentless machine. With Morel another good boxer puncher performance.

average fighters Can't do what Mares did to a TOP P4P fighter and time him so well troughout the fight.

mares is a great little warrior.

 

Can't agree more he fights everybody and gives great fights give him some credit

 

It seems that here in ESB, the general way of thinking is that if the guy doesn't have incredible speed and power, he is not elite

I rather have a fighter like Mares who is committed to winning, gives his all, fights the best and has a chin and heart than this bunch of fighters who have speed and power but they fight tomato cans, have glass chins and fold under pressure

 

Mares is one of the smartest and most capable fighters in boxing right now.

He's not special at anything, but he's good at everything. He's got good offensive footwork that allowed him to get inside constantly. He matched Moreno step for step when Moreno was backing up. He's got good speed and a nice arsenal.

His plan last night was perfect...I don't think there is a better way to beat Moreno than what Mares did last night. I guarantee you he'll use the same tactics against Donaire and Rigo if they fight. And given what we've seen so far, he's capable of executing almost any fight plan.
