Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa vs. Abner Mares in the works

[Violent Demise]

I can't see Penalosa being dominated. He might lose but not dominated. Penalosa already has 6 losses but all of them via close decisions.

First time for everything. At this stage in his career a fight with the super quick Mares is a bad idea for Penalosa.

Yep Penalosa has troubles with quick boxers (specially if they're running away from him) but Mares never been with a boxer in Penalosa's caliber. Penalosa is old but he was still very impressive in his last fight against the tough Sor Vorapin and even stopped/TKO'ed the guy.

This fight reminds me of Genaro Hernandez-Floyd Mayweather. Hernandez had never been dominated and had never lost at 130. Until he met Mayweather. Now Mares ain't no Mayweather. And Penalosa isn't the fighter Hernandez was. But it's the way I see the fight playing out. Mares retiring the old veteran.
