Mares won that fight.

i diasagre...mares ran lots of times.....it should've been perez by 2 point margin............i never like the idea that abner's dad is perez's manager, that **** is too fishy to me!........lol at abner looking as if he got robbed , the boy ran lots of times!.....

i had the same score as denkin, 115-113 for mares, abner looked a bit gassed in the middle rounds but was ahead in the early round, and then ****** it up big time in the championship rounds.

i thought he finished better than perez.

it was a game fight, and i said, that it was really a tough one to call; a draw wouldn't be out of the question, and low and behold, they called it a draw.

and the only reason i can live with a draw for this fight, is because both guys came to win, both guys fought their fight, both guys didn't want to give up an inch, and both guys fought like winners.

any way you slice it, it was a good fight, really a close one, although a draw is fair to perez a little bit more than mares, it was a great fight that was good for boxing, and both guys stock went up tremendously.

mares really stepped it up towards the end, which impressed the hell out of me because i thought he was getting weaker in some of those middle rounds.

great fight, would love to see them go at it again.

Just look at the facial reactions of both fighters immediately after the fight and you'd have a good idea who thought he won it.

mares clearly won the late rounds but fights arent judged on who finishes stronger they are judged by rounds and i think a draw was the right score but wouldnt be mad if mares got the edge by one point. by the way did anybody notice mares straying low many times throughout the fight.

I wasn't implying that.

Just the fact that Mares was clearly acting like he thought he won it and Perez had his head down as soon as he got to his corner and his crew had to pump him up.

I havent seen one poster say Perez won.

Perez won...

Mares lost rounds 3 and 4 pretty convincely to me. He also gave at least 2-3 rounds in the middle round by backing up and not throwing and landing great punches. That's at least 4-5 rounds he lost before making that great comeback in the last 3 rounds. Not to dismiss that there were some close rounds that could have gone to either fighter


I have no problem with the decision but I do think Mares will win once the rematch is set.

I had Perez winning 115-113. He was the aggressor in the fight, and he consistently landed the harder, more telling blows. Mares came on strong as **** at the end of the fight, but it was too late in my opinion. A rematch has to happen.

Not a very good decision in my view. Don't get me wrong, it was a very competitive give and take fight. But Mares outworked Perez and closed the fight out where it mattered. Perez is still a damn good fighter though, and I look forward to seeing him in the future. Too bad that Juan Ma Lopez wasn't thrown in that tough this early in his career.

Perez > Ponce De Leon.

dude why do you hate on all PR fighters?

I thought the draw was the perfect score.

Yohnny won most of he early rounds and middle rounds and Abner came back and tightened up in the later rounds.

This is one of those times were the draw was the perfect score. Neither guy hurt the other and the fight was classic ebb and flow.
