Jhonny has always been somewhat of a hot and cold fighter. Just when you think he's done, he would comeback and surprise us all..

After he lost to Nishioka in 09, he went on an undefeated run for 12 straight fights with big names including Hasegawa and the underrated Elio Rojas..

So he lost to Deleon but it's not as if he took a beating so I dont get why people think he's washed up. And plus, Deleon beat Broner in many people's eyes so there's no shame in losing to him really.. And styles make fights..

Mares may have grown into a bonafide fighter today but back around 05-06, Jhonny used to hire him as a sparring partner and got the better of him everytime from what i know..

Jhonny has fought bigger opponents with bigger punches and skills.. I dont think Mares brings so much to the table that Johnny has never seen before..

Jhonny has the height reach advantage, dude has one punch KO power in both hands and his boxing skills are exceptional so there isn't a reason why he couldnt win.

But punch resistance is his achilles heel so Nacho is right, Jhonny's best chance is to attack and get Mares out early...

Go Jhonny!!!!
