Funny u mention that cuz I was hoping for the same but a potential matchup between MAres and Deleon has been cleared up by Espinoza boxing who promotes both fighters..

A fight of this magnitude can't be held in March due to a lack of promotion time, claims Espinoza..

Jhonny Gonzalez will be exercising his rematch clause against Deleon so if the Velez fight doesnt get rescheduled, Deleon-Gonzalez II will take place first..

Expecting Mares to face Deleon as his first opponent at 126 is unrealistic anyways.. He needs to get his feet wet first before taking on Deleon even though Deleon isn't all that.
