PDL looks like he could be his daddy. A win over PDL should put Mares ahead of Broner in the P4P rankings.
As it is, Broner doesn't belong on the P4P but Mares does soooo.

that's why I don't entertain people saying Mares was ducked by Donaire! Mares was lucky he dodges Donaire! But he might be not lucky enough, coz PDL has Power & have a chance to KO small MaresQ
Maybe that's why mares decided to take on pdl, because he has power an is bigger and all that. Maybe mares likes to take on bigger challenges like a pdl as his first fight at 126. That's something we rarely see now a days got give credit were credit is due
Mares looks markedly smaller than PDL and a little scared
What? Shame on you! Mares and the word scared/afraid don't belong in the same sentence.

Mares wins. De Leon hasn't been at his best for a while now and all those tough fights will take a toll on his 32 year old body. I'm sad Mares didn't stick around and look for a fight with Donaire or Rigo.
What? He did look for a fight with Donaire. You weren't around for that? GBP even sent TR a contract for the fight. While Donaire was claiming there was no contract but BScene posted the WHOLE contract.

De Leon does look a lot bigger but I still going for Mares in this one. Mares will be faster then De Leon and will have a game plan come fight night. De Leon does like huge though should be a good one.
Against Darchinyan - "Abner has no chance"
Against Agbeko - "Abner stands no chance"
Against Agbeko again - "Abner stands no chanc this time"
Against Moreno - "Moreno is too slick & too skilled abner has no chance"
Mares is always doubted yet always wins & come May 4th he'll still be undefeated & the new WBC champion @ 126. U can take that to the bank.
This is what I'm talking about. Mares reminds me of Froch or even Garcia. Always doubted and always comes thru.

I was about to say there is a bit of an optical illusion going on there.
there is. ponce is much closer to the camera.
you can still see that they're very far apart in size, though.
mares might be that big when he's in his 30's and he's been at FW for a while, but right now he's smaller.

Yeah Mares is standing funny but you can see PDL is clearly much bigger than him.
Ponce De Leon is strong and carries a dig but he's ponderous. The name of the game is boxing and as long as Abner keeps to that he'll shut this guy out completely
