Gary Russell jr vs Abner Mares :who wins?

Mares until further notice. Gary hasn't fought anyone.

he hasn't fought anyone worthy but you know what he is capable of? Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android Russell Jr has fought @ 126 his entire career, I know his resume isn't anything to brag about, but let's not act like Mares is a monster @ 122 or 126.

Mares is 100X better than anything Russel has But its not the resumes fighting the resumes, its the fighters fighting fighters and their styles. Oscar had a HUGELY better resume than Mosley going into their first fight and Mosley won. Donaire fought nobody compared to Darchinyan and we saw what happened there and this happens all the time. Russell would give Mares fits. If it came down to just resumes, Boxing would not be available for Gambling on. You could just look at the resumes and know who would win. Doesn't work that way.

It depends... with 2 healthy hands Ill pick Russell Jr but if he fights one handed like last night Mares will smother him and beat him.

Right now Russell Jr.

I would have to side with Russell on this one right now..... Don't know how effective Mares can be at 26

Rusell the hardest puncher mares has faced if thy fight? Darchinian hits harder than rusell. Darchinyan at 112 and 115, that guy was a monster, Vic @ 118, I can't even remember anyone he KO/TKO at that weight.

Even though GR jr hasn't faced anyone worthy at 126, we know what he's capable at that weight. I agree, if he breaks his hands against any top fighter, he probably wouldn't survive.

Gary Russell Jr....

To close to call right now. Mares has one tough fight with De Leon coming up let's see how that goes with Mares. If Mares wins and and looks great doing it why not make that fight in the future. Russell Jr is a pretty good fighter and should be fighting some good fighters by now. Gary calling out JuanMa after his win last night Russell Jr should already know by now that TR+GBP=no fight.

Good fight. Mini-Chavez vs. Taylor. As of right now I'm leaning towards Mares because I haven't seen Russell up against somebody with the ability to fight back.

Wow. Just go on ahead & take Russel then. But until proven otherwise, I'll take the fighter with the superior resume. The guy with the experience, the multi division champ that's undefeated that everyone underrates.
