Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
:action: Plus: Anselmo Moreno vs. David De La Mora, any love for the little pugs? Two title fights Saturday night that should be worth a look.
April 21
At El Paso, Texas (Showtime): Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel, 12 rounds, for vacant WBC junior featherweight title; Anselmo Moreno vs. David De La Mora, 12 rounds, for Moreno's WBA "super" bantamweight title.
Abner Mares is is moving up from bantamweight champion and his 2 fights with Joseph Agbeko, to face Eric Morel for the vacant WBC junior featherweight title. Mares should stop Morel within 8 rounds, and David De La Mora will take Moreno's title, either by UD or a stoppage in one of the later rounds.
Who you kats got?

Mares should stop Morel's lil rapist ass and out class him.
Moreno rings a bell but I can't place where I've seen him maybe a PPV undercard ?
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel on Showtime Saturday night
Two solid little fights!
I seeing Mares winning a wide decision but with Morel having a good round or two & Moreno doing the same but winning every round

Hulk, you should check him out if you haven't seen him fight. You probably remember him from whupping Darchinyan a little while back. He is a sick technician in the ring. He may be among the most underrated boxers out there. His problem is like many technicians, he doesn't have big knockout power.
For Mares, Morel is a gimme fight.
If boxing fanatics like us actually got the fights we wanted to see, we'd have Mares v. Moreno instead of the fights on Saturday. Can I get an amen?

Hulk, Moreno is from Panama, you probably remember his last fight with Vic Darchinyan, a WBA Super- bantamweight title fight, he won a clearcut UD over Ugly Vic in that one last December. Moreno won the WBA Super- bantamweight title from Lorenzo Parra, by 8th round TKO, so he was defending it for the first time against Ugly Vic.
Prior to being the WBA Super- bantamweight champion, Moreno was the WBA bantamweight champ and had something like 6 title defenses, so the pug has been world class for several years, but most of his fights have been in Panama, so he's still not that well known.

Amen brother.

Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel on Showtime Saturday night
Mares & Moreno should win wide points decisions.
Would be pleasantly surprised if one of them scored a knockout.
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel on Showtime Saturday night
Mares and Moreno both win. Haven't seen De La Mora fight though.

Amen. I'm hopeful that we might get that next, given the shared card. Moreno wins that fight, wide UD. He is way better than Mares.

Here we go with the Showtime card Saddoites: Bernstein, Johnson and Tarver calling the action tonight, first up Anselmo Moreno vs. David De La Mora, 12 rounds, for Moreno's WBA "super" bantamweight title.
I may have a shot or 2 of Crown Royal Black tonight depending on how good the fights are. :drunks:
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
De La Mora vs. Moreno just starting, Panama vs. Mexico, it's a pro De La Mora crowd in El Paso.
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
Moreno isn't scintillating but he is damn good.
Crown Royal-always a good choice.
