how do you see it playing out?
stylewise , nonito seems like a badstyle match up for mares..but so was moreno before he got outworked by mares..
i still see nonito winning by ko in the later rounds but with the way mares outsmarting the supposed smarter fighter , i dont see this as an easy win for nonito..
i seriously see mares making it a rough fight,with lots of clinching , using his head and tying nonito up while throwing lots of punches thus having some success on the inside and winning some rounds .. was mares succesful of doing what he did to moreno becuase he was'nt a puncher? i do beleive it thats the case too but it was'nt all of it
i really see a similar strategy from mares but will he be able to withsnatd the power of nonito.. altho i belive mares has a lil bit of shaky chin , i think it can happen ..remeber , it worked for concepcion to why he survived the fight and it's obvious mares is way better..
thoughts?
As good as Mares is, he always gasses late. Even if Mares can take Donaire's punches early on, I can't see him doing the same once he starts to fade. Donaire is the last guy you want to fade against.
Donaire by 10th round TKO
Mares is very strong and determined. I can see Nonito landing big shots on him but I'd pick Nonito to get dropped before Mares for some reason. I'd think Nonito would win a UD with Mares having his air share of moments in the fight.
Nonito is the star so he will undoubtedly get the nod if it goes 12.
Tough fight for Donaire if Mares can take his punches and swarm like last time out.....
thats what im sayin thats a big if but it's possible ..and rember the SD nonito win over WV2? ..we know it was BS so that tells me mares only have make it to the final bell and make it a pretty close fight for him to win..
Nonito would find those openings from a wide and wild swinging Mares. I think it is an interesting style match up leading to an early ending because of Mares forced action. Nonito by ko within 6. Good and sloppy while it lasts though.
Mares makes it a rough and ugly fight, Donaire lands clean shots to keep him cautious, Mares changes his gameplan and decides to box and loses by dec. Donaire has this if he can keep Mares on the outside.
The fight was at junior bantam, Concepcion failed to even make bantam. By contrast, Mares is smallish at 122.
yes, he was 5 lbs over the weight limit in the offical weigh in if i remeber correctly but i dont think it was the whole reason he survived.. i think it was the fact that he was able to absorb all of nonitos punches that really affected nonito's showing...
we know but concepcion survived a full one fighting too agressively..
