Abner Mares-Takashi Miura in Play For Mayweather Bill - Boxing News

Its a ballsy move but it's wack how he can get a shot at the 130 title right after he got beat in his FW defense.

Miura is very dangerous and mares is fucking with the wrong guy.

130 a nice division at the mo. Garcia, Uchiyama, Fortuna, Barthelemy, Usmanee, Burgos, Russell Jr. Lots of good fights to be made

[La Cucaracha]

Nice move by Mares would have liked to see him face Gonzalez again but like Silky said he adds even more flavor to the division

[Ron Swanson]

I think 130 is a bridge too far in the long run for Mares. But he will probably have a couple good scraps before it takes its toll.

This probably sucks for Gonzales a lot, he would have gotten a nice payday for the Mares rematch and might have his number. There should be some kind of clause about withdrawing from fights with injuries, I mean clearly Mares didn't want Gonzales again. He didn't sprain his rib and then just decide to move up a division and fight someone else instead of rescheduling.

I understand what your saying and agree to a point. It seems Mares was trying to distance himself from his manager and Jhonny ended up with the short end of the stick

Yep had forgotten, right after I posted I remembered reading something about his management, who knows whats up. I haven't even seen this Miura guy fight either, and I still rate Mares highly. It just sucks for Gonzales, and that would have been a really good rematch.

Would have liked Mares to set the record straight with Gonzalez Miura ain't no joke his fight with Thompson was brilliant

[Spicoli]

Four divisions in two+ yrs. Can we just get a guy who will actually commit himself and not hopscotch once shit gets bumpy...or when a trinket is guaranteed..for once. FFS. He needs to rematch Gonzalez, period. This is strictly about grabbing a paper weight belt and bragging about multi divisions and immediate transition into a "huge" fight and hoping fans call Gonzalez a fluke ko...

well, no shit huh

I guess what I'm really saying is I hope he gets his ass kicked badly!

Disagree have gave Gonzalez the opportunity at the end of the day got to do whats best for his career don't remember Gonzalez running back to Nishioka

[ruthless rocco]

Mares is a cheating bitch. I hope it all catches up to him (again).

[toe2toe]

Miura is crude but very dangerous fighter. Miura is a relentless offensive fighter. He made Crazy Dante Jardon succumbed to his relentless attack.

[johnsebastianmiran]

I think this guy Mares is a world class fighter but I am disappointed because he is a master of deception when it comes to cheap shots. I saw him in a couple of fights he had no business winning. He's dirty but I wondered what would happen if he did not get that chance to be dirty and his name was Jhonny Gonzales and suddenly all that pride disappeared when he got a chance at fighting for another title. The question is, does he deserve that shot? I am not criticizing his ability, just his definition of south of the border when the bell rings.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Miura is the real deal and Mares is taking a huge chance, he will need to be 100% on form to win this. Miura won't take any of Mares dubious ring tactics lightly.

[powerpuncher]

i dont like mares moving up in weight. he is already a small featherweight. he is a great fighter but he should stay at the lighter weight classes.
