Thread: Daniel Ponce De Leon vs. Abner Mares, WBC Featherweight Title, Showtime, April 20th

Ponce De Leon vs. Mares Clash on 4/20 on Showtime - Boxing News

Cracking fight. Could be another Mexican war for the ages. Mares is showing some brass balls taking this fight as his first at 126.

I got Mares by decision...

I just feel that his youth and punch out-put will get him the decision.
I also see a lot of rough tactics being used by both guys as DPDL likes to lead with his head. Would not be surprised if there is a cut caused by a headbutt in the fight.

Nice fight. I'm surprised Espinoza went along with this since they train both guys and represent them through GBP.

Refreshing.

You're gunna go to this aren't you? Damn that fucking ocean in my way of awesome fights. Mick, know that I hate you.

Helluva fun fight. I had alot of doubts about Mares but after the Agbeko rematch I have to say that it's obvious the package is coming together, impossible to not see the ability. I was hoping for a Santa Cruz showdown but this is great. Daniel is the literal definition of a hard man. He's earned his place. My heart says De Leon but my head is yelling the fresher mobile Mares over 12.

Depending on how they price the tickets and who else get's added to the card.

Yeah posted about this yesterday in another thread

Mares on PTS


Supposed to have Maidana/ Lopez on the undercard

Ponce De Leon better bring himself an Adamantium cup. That aside this will be a good fight. Mares broke my heart by beating Moreno but heck he's fighting against a guy who I believe beat Broner.

Good close fight and I'm not even gonna touch 'who's gonna win' with a six feet pole.

This is one of those fights where I can't pick a winner either.

Really hard not to favor Mares after the amazing streak he's been on the last couple years.

Still gotta love Ponce De Leon for being such a tough, unorthodox bastard and for beating Broner.

I like both guys, but I'll be rooting for Ponce to pull the upset, he is a lil bigger and very seasoned. Packs a wallop too.

This a good match up is Ponce De Leon past his best,! or has Mares bit off more than he can chew,!
hope to see this fight should be a barn stormer.

Another great matchup. Let's hope neither of them get injured and make it into the ring on that date.

I thought 4/20 had been reserved for Chavez Junior's comeback fight?

Ponce de Leon always puts up a good fight, unless it's 6/7/2008, then he is unsure whether he takes a dive or not.
