Abner Mares insists he's not lost his boxing skills since that almighty jolt from Jhonny González in August of 2013. After more than a year since he lost his undefeated record, along with the WBC featherweight title, Abner urgently wants to erase any question marks with precise punctuation.
 
“I didn’t lose anything in that bout with Gonzalez. I learned lots from that fight and now I'm focused in returning even better than before,” stressed Mares.
 
Since that defeat on August 24th, the three time world champion in different divisions has had two fights, where he appeared to have a touch of trouble and a spot of bother in regaining the previous fluency of his rhythm.
 
This Saturday he will have a great opportunity  to shine, when he faces another former Olympic boxer, Arturo Santos, at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.
 
“I have to go out and convince. I am going to get into the ring and offer up a tremendous show," earnestly promised Mares.

Retracing steps in a quest for the perfect balance and blend, Abner is back to the future, once again linking up with coach Clemente Medina, with who he conquered the WBC super bantamweight  and featherweight titles.
