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?

Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel on Showtime Saturday night
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.

Thanks for the reminder Diane, lots of boxing for us fans on Friday and Saturday night, I might need to pick up an extra brew or two. :cool:

Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
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.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
wow, Impressive by Moreno. De La Mora's loss to Komeda was by a pt or 2. And Komeda is legitimately ranked in the top 10 by ring magazine, espn, and all other non alphabet rankings.
Didn't figure Moreno would destroy this guy.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
De La Mora down in the 2nd round, Moreno showing some power., this may end early, which is fine by me.

Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
De la mora is my kind of opponent. Don't put a guy in there that is going to roll over and play dead. De la mora was looking worse for the wear and decided to throw caution to the win and go after Moreno.

De La Mora is a strange bird, I don't ever recall seeing anyone fight quite like him, very unorthodox.
Moreno 4-0.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
De La Mora down again in the 6th, this is pretty much a mismatch.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
Interesting first fight. Dela mora sort of has that look like hes waiting to pull into two lanes of traffic but thinking too much about being T boned in spots. Thinking Moreno has the close there if he insists on it to body.
Gus Johnson go play on the roof, in a thunder storm.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
This fight needs to be over, how De La Mora won 24 fights is a mystery. :-\

Gus needs to go sky diving without a parachute.

Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
Moreno wins by "opponent pussin' out" in the 9th round.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
I thought Moreno looked really classy, good performance. He made his opponent give up after 3.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
Berto might win the rematch with Surfer Vic, I hope Winky hands Quinlin his ass.

Moreno's power was a surprise, De La Mora was bothered by it from the 1st round on.

Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
I didn't remember Eric Morel being a 'Rican, where's Tito? ;)
This might be a good, action packed fight.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
Good one Gus Johnson..."He has overcome challenges".....is that new PC speak for Rape ?
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
That looked close to a KD by Mares in the 1st round.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
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.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
Mares is literally punching though him and moving him with everything. It looks like Morel is throwing saw dust at him.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
I haven't given a round to Morel after 6.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
Ok call me nuts. I think Morels saw dust jab just owned the 6th...busted his lip up and Mares off a step
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
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
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
This is actually a good, competitive fight even though I can't find a round to give to Morel after 8. lol.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
Mores looking really sharp, but Morel simply hasn't jabbed or thrown enough.
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
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
-
Re: Abner Mares vs. Eric Morel - Saturday night fight thread
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.
