Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread

[Mars_ax]

That looked close to a KD by Mares in the 1st round.

[Mars_ax]

Mares looking good, i've given him the first 3 rounds, Morel is taking a bit of a beating, and his nose looks busted up.

[Spicoli]

Mares is literally punching though him and moving him with everything. It looks like Morel is throwing saw dust at him.

[Mars_ax]

I haven't given a round to Morel after 6.

[Spicoli]

Ok call me nuts. I think Morels saw dust jab just owned the 6th...busted his lip up and Mares off a step

[Spicoli]

Mares back in with looping rights and strength. My God look at the size of Erics melon. All in all its slowed down a bit, nice exchange at rounds end

[Mars_ax]

This is actually a good, competitive fight even though I can't find a round to give to Morel after 8. lol.

[Gandalf]

Mores looking really sharp, but Morel simply hasn't jabbed or thrown enough.

[Spicoli]

Not sure Mares wants to stay here at 122, looks bulky, speed off. He and Moreno would be fun but a case of round vs straight

[Mars_ax]

Mares clearly won, but he's gotta know that he's been in fight. I thought it was fairly entertaining, even if onesided.
Mares is a likable kid, I wish him well.

[Mars_ax]

Mores looking really sharp, but Morel simply hasn't jabbed or thrown enough.

Morel is 35, ancient for a pug weighing 122.

[TitoFan]

Morel gave a good account of himself for a 36-year old bantamweight. However, Mares was just too young, too strong, and too good. Entertaining fight, though.

[Gandalf]

Yes, it was a decent fight. Nothing special though. Mares would be better pitted against opponents of his own generation.

[Mars_ax]

There didn't seem to be much interest in this Showtime Card last night, only a few members posting on the thread. From now on i'm going to be a little more selective when I post a fight thread., it's not worth it if only 4-5 members respond.

Hop vs. Dawson on HBO next weekend (April 28th), it might end up sucking, but the rematch deserves a fight thread.

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

This fight needs to be over, how De La Mora won 24 fights is a mystery.

Give the guy some credit. After all, you're not the guy in the ring getting punched in the face by Anselmo Moreno.
