Anyway, props to Peñalosa for seeking bigger challenges...

I don't think a veteran like Penalosa would turn down big money on the Dec 6th card just to get back at somebody. He's pretty much just hurting himself. I think Mares youth and like they said hand speed were most likely the reasons why
Super bantamweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez is a bigger challenge than bantamweight prospect Abner Mares...

No way Peñalosa is avoiding Mares because of Mares' great handspeed ... Peñalosa not getting Mares will not hurt him if he gets the JuanMa Lopez fight on Dec. 6...

Doesn't really matter Penalosa loses to both Mares and Lopez
