Mares would demolish Leo Santa Cruz in a War

I hope you're right, but I doubt it. Mares is looking like crap against Santa Cruz-lites.

And so the prophecy nears

About time. Mares will beat the Cantinflas mustache off of Leo's mug. :sombrero:

WAR LEO all the way!!! Hell of a fight. These are the matchups fans want... not that garbage boring Rirundeaux.

It will be a good entretaining fight but.....that Chin though!

i just wanna see mares fight again.. one of my favorites for years now.

Demolish? When exactly did Mares become this huge puncher? Either guy could win but Mares has had only two stoppages in his last 10 fights and LSC is at the level of at least a few of the guys Mares has been unable to stop, certainly better than Morel and Oquendo who Mares went the distance with and others as well. Either guy would win in a war but if anyone is stopping anyone, Mares would not be the one favored to do that.

I favor Mares in this match-up. Mares has the experience and has beaten durable fighters. Santa Cruz on the other hand has fought nobody notable. Mare beats him inside of 12 imo.

These guys are going to have a trilogy and burn their careers to the ground after 3 wars. Then Haymon will have 2 new opponents for Gary Russell to finally get rid of the TBA moniker.

I would favor Mares, but I am not sure enough to bet on it.

Santa Cruz is overhyped/overrated.

Mares fans, so this is the only way Mares can get a significant win now? By having an unproven guy move up in weight? I kind of agree, I don't think Mares is having success with guys at his own weight like Walters, Gonzalez (took his soul already), Loma or even Donaire. He might scrape by with a win against Gradovich but that's about it honestly. An unproven 2 weight division world champ at that lol. Mares has more balls than Leo could dream of. Oh and by the way Leo himself said he was moving up to 126 shortly after one more defense at 122, so what are you saying? Mares has faced stronger competition, even his soft touches match Leo's "tough" title defenses lol. At 126 Leo will get hammered out of the ring as well if not faster than Mares a lot sooner in his career.

Mares is with Al but I don't think Jhonny is. Regardless , I would like to see the rematch after Mares bludgeons Leo and chalks up another Cross in his graveyard. I guess I was reaching for the idea that Hymen won't let that rematch happen, nor will he let Mares face LSC...could be wrong but I doubt it. :boxing:

When is Mares going to rematch Gonzales? He's with Hymen right? Mares is with Al but I don't think Jhonny is. Regardless , I would like to see the rematch after Mares bludgeons Leo and chalks up another Cross in his graveyard.

Leo's length would bother Abner. But it's still a good scrap.

When is Mares going to rematch Gonzales? He's with Hymen right?

Santa Cruz would be doing that twitching thing with his hand and then get cracked by monster right hands from Mares, :boxing:. Mares en dos rounds! "Twitchy" will get stretched out if he doesn't keep his hands up, easy. LOL Mares would take Leo to school. It would be a bad ass war doe Crazy how so many people actually think Leo poses a significant threat. Fighting sparring partners on PPV doesn't make you elite :lol1:

It would be a great fight, but I see Mares winning a 12 round decision. Leo doesn't have a big left hook, but he does throw punches in bunches and covers up like Winky Wright. I could see this fight being a technical fight. Which I can see Mares pulling it off.

LOL Mares would take Leo to school. It would be a bad ass war doe
