Moreno by UD...but I like Mares, classy dude and I respect him and respect him for stepping up and fighting Moreno when he could have easy played the "HIS STYLE IS BORING" "HE HASN'T FOUGHT ANYBODY" "HE IS NOT A DRAW" Card like some of these other fighters DO
Mares even as the Champion is not looking to protect his title or UNDEFEATED RECORD...he is willing to fight the best and that you have to RESPECT, so win lose or draw I will always support a fighter like Mares and I hope other young fighters Follow the Road of ANDRE WARD and ABNER MARES (EARN YOUR WAY TO THE TOP) instead of being handed stardom then PROTECTED!
But I feel like Moreno style will be too complicated for him to figure out within 12 Rounds then if he does, Moreno can switch things on you REAL QUICK, he has a very high IN RING IQ
Best of luck to both fighters, I don't care who wins just give the fans a great fight then that way fans will walk away with respect for BOTH FIGHTERS regardless who wins or lose
I was wrong I thought Moreno would out-box him...but Mares had a great strategy and never let Moreno get comfortable and applied relentless pressure
Like I posted I have much Respect for Mares for not ducking ANYONE, the young dude has an AMAZING RESUME for such a young fighter...Top 10 P4P is well deserved for Mares
Moreno will be fine, still an OUTSTANDING BOXER, I feel he figured things out a little too late but he battled back...people will talk sh1t because he lost but Moreno is still a Top 15 P4P Fighter IMO!
Moreno by decision. I like Mares and he will give a game effort, but Moreno has got to be the most frustrating guy to fight. Moreno has such a good defense and a sneaky and quick offense, I just see him being too slick and too good for Mares. That said, Moreno isn't as marketable, so Mares winning a decision he shouldn't is not out of the question.

I can't believe some people on here picked Mares to win by KO. No doubt Mares is bringing the heat but I don't think he wins by KO. Moreno better win on the 10th I got 500 and my friend's got 300 with the same dude. I hope we take his cash. It's going to be a great night of boxing with Cruz on the card too.
abner mares winning is better for the sport.
I am pretty sure GBP has thought about that themselves there will be some big fights for Mares if he wins. The guy is building a fan base down in southern Cali.
Just doesn't get better than this, rooting for Moreno but I am nervous. Mares is a work horse, doesn't stop throwing.
Like a mini version of Mayweather-Pacquiao, except the boxer is the southpaw and the volume punching aggressor is orthodox. Obviously they both differ from them in other ways, but the style clash will be fascinating. I love how Moreno fights. Smooth defense with hard counters and body shots. I think Mares is going to be caught flush very frequently.
Moreno is leading in this poll 55% to 45% over Mares. I cant wait for this fight. I want to see what Mares does when Moreno comes forward and sticks to his game plan and attacks the body all night and gets ghost when he tries to counter him. If Mares does pull it off great he deserves it .Its a win win for me if he loses I win 500 if he wins he is my current favorite fighter right now I won't feel to bad about paying up the money. I would like to see the winner of this fight in with Santa Cruz next.
I think Moreno will win by Decision but I worry that Mares will get the division. I know I was thinking the same thing but judges seam to like Moreno boxing style.
isnt he already ranked 10 on BS
After this fight, I think we'll be talking if he's top 5 P4P. I just have that feeling he's gonna shine against Mares, a guy IMO that should be in the P4P before Moreno at this point. His resume outshines Moreno clearly and he's shown his ability against upper echelon opponents.
Might be looking forward to this fight more than any other in November. :cool2:
