:huh darchinyan when he was prime, feared and undefeated, montiel when he was knocking everyone out and was a top p4p fighter, nishioka who was the #1 super bantamweight?
No bro, we must keep reality on check. Make no mistakes here. Nonito will capitalize on Mares aggressive style,Mares comes forward and bullies his way against weaker fighters.I like mares, he did last night what he had to do but he didn't show any respect for Moreno 's power. Nonito is a different animal.Hits like a freaking welter and counterpunches with accuracy.As much as I claim he is avoiding Rigo I understand he's the man to beat at 122.
I don't think he does it on purpose.He just wants to win so bad he just fires without looking.But it is the second time an opponent of Mares got deducted a point, Agbeko got pts taken of him as well. atsch
Good fight, I scored it 6-6 in rounds and when you add the two point deductions I had Mares winning 114-112. Mares has been on a very nice run the last few years and is probably a top 10 pfp fighter right now. Its a shame that Donaire-Mares isn't happening because of Top Rank-Golden Boys problems. Its one of the best fights in boxing and it probably never happens and if it does it will come when its too late. I'd pick Donaire to beat Mares but I also thought Moreno would beat Mares for what its worth.
