Not a huge surprise as it has been rumored for a while, but looks like it will be happening early 2019.
A deal is all but in place for “Tank” Davis to defend his junior lightweight title against Mares in early 2019, industry sources told The Ring. The PBC bout will be broadcast on either Showtime or Fox.

Now make LSC vs GRJ and have the winners face off?
Yikes two 126 pounders in a row.
Davis needs to free himself from Mayweather promotions asap.
Not at all. You got it wrong, bro.
Davis could fight 10 bums until he's 25 and in his prime and be perfectly OK, and praised. Almost every boxing (real) fan is taking their time with him, I can't. I want it now!
Someone like Mares should be a 'wow' but not. Davis is too good and too big. Real fans know this.
I'll never mention Davis again until his next fight is announced.
I know the promoters, matchmakers, and fighters are all reading our stuff. Make the fights we want guys. NO MORE MISMATCHES.
Davis you better fucking listen up.
Tank Wins but Mares will come to fight
Yep, which would put Mares out in two rounds.
I won't watch this fight and if it's announced, Davis, Floyd, and Haymon can all fuck themselves.
Match Mares with Russell, Davis with the best available (no BS) 130 to 140. I'm a fan, but I don't put up with shit fights anymore.
Fight a live body, Gervonta. NO MARES. JUST NO.
Fight Salido at 135, give him 3 month camp. Start now.
Bye.
Seriously? How do you see it going? This is unnecessary and stupid. Abner Mares needs to get a good medical.
Fuck this fight. Sorry bro.
Please fight Salido at 135 as a tune up!
Tank Wins but Mares will come to fight
No, my brother, it was Loma's second fight.
Salido was a beast (journeyman) champion those days. Loma is marvelous. They had poor planning and inexperience going into that fight I bet. They depended just on Loma's pure skills to win it, but it didn't.
I hope they are guiding him well now. I love Loma. His fanboys piss me off, tho. They always tell me I can't like both (Davis and Loma). That's bullshit.
You can certainly be a fan of both because they'll never share the same ring.
People also forget how Gervonta beat pedraza to a pulp at 21 years old for a world title but are so quick to heap praise on Lomachenko and how everyone is ducking him. Loma is fighting pedraza in December! And it’s not even a fair comparison loma was in the amateurs for so many years and it could be argued hid from the pro game until now. Also in his first fight he got beat by salido? I’m pretty sure Gervonta would smash him too. Always hating on this kid for one year of inactivity cause of legal issues, wait till 2019 the American public will love him.

That fight was for the 126 pound title. Mares has never fought at 130 ever.
Can't base everything on that stuff. Like the KO here. Mares went on to achieve a lot. This fight sucks.
No problem with this match up at all, just one match to eventually something BIGGER! Expecting these guys to be extremely busy in 2019 finally. Minimum 3 Fights a year and that still probably won't be enough to fill all those dates on Fox and Showtime. You're going to get Big Fights and some fights will be Soft Touches leading into something bigger. I don't consider Mares a Soft Touch AT ALL even at 130!

That's why I won't be surprised if we see Gervonta fighting at 140 soon. Definitely 135 after Mares (please no). Find someone who is a little more challenge and your own size. Maybe Farmer or Machado?
With his dimensions, he should be fighting at 122-130.
After seeing how much Tank likes to party and how fat he gets, I'm starting to think that Mares has a good shot.

This would be way better. I agree.
Yeah, that is a fight that has always interested me, well as long as Mares has been at Featherweight. Unfortunately Gary only fights once a year. He should definitely start thinking of fighting twice a year, while he still can.
no :haha::haha::haha:
Age 23, 2 time champ, not even in his prime yet. Abner Mares is a cherrypick. Says a lot about Davis. Only true haters can hate this guy as a boxer. Not saying you!
I say he should fight all the comers.
How do you see Loma-Pedraza going?
