After suffering his first professional loss to Jhonny Gonzalez, Abner Mares took it easy, by his standards. In an eight month span, Mares took on Jonathan Oquendo, Jose Ramirez and Arturo Santos Reyes, a trio of undercard bouts as he collected himself following the shocking knockout loss to Gonzalez. Those would have been passable matchups for most fighters, but for a fighter who had consistently put himself in dangerous situations throughout his career, it was a bit alarming, and drew criticism from fans and critics alike.
Experienced former division world champion Abner Mares is planning to steal the show on June 25th, when he returns to the ring to face Jesus Cuellar for the featherweight championship of the World Boxing Association.
Jesús Cuellar versus Abner Mares is an attractive fight in its own right. A fine support act to the main event of Keith Thurman versus Shawn Porter on June 25 at New York’s Barclays Center, but there is added spice with the fact that Mares is now working with Robert García, former trainer of Cuellar. Nevertheless, the Argentine played down the significance of that fact when discussing the bout with BoxingScene.com after lunch this week.
