Comments Thread For: Mares Confident: I Feel I Can Beat Nonito Donaire

[TX_BOXNG]

I think mares beats him, his smart aggresive active punching would give donaire problems, i got mares by UD, but donaire is a p4p great N he can win it easy, obviously is a really tough call

[SdBoxingFan83]

He aint going to beat him because donaire is a Natural Welterweight, Hes too big for Mares and would destroy him . as much as I hate to say it. Hes a B for not fighting guys his own size that Donaire

Thing is, Mares doesn't go into that high guard shell and refuse to fight. His best moments are when he throws combinations and his opponents can't handle it. He's not Narvaez, and even Mares's boxing ability isn't going to trouble Donaire enough to win.

Besides, the bigger the stage, the better Donaire performs. Guys like Narvaez are typically when Donaire doesn't look his best, and Nonito still won every round. Again, I don't want to say no chance for Mares, but I'd be shocked.

I actually had a few rounds for Omar in the Beginning.

What's his own size then? 122? 126? 130?

I mean you make the weight, why not fight.

I could see if he was coming in over but he's following the rules as they are.


He's made 112,115, 118.

Everyone that can, will fight at the weight they can. Nothing wrong with that.

I feel like Donaire could possibly tko Mares late.

Don't be so final here...

With Omar Andres Narvaez, Donaire had a hard time getting to Omar at times, and Omar was actually getting to Donaire in the first half of the fight but then half way through the fight Omar went into just defensive mode and didn't want to box at all. But there were some times in that fight were Donaire was getting fits from Omar...

So maybe, just maybe if Abner boxes him with his smarts he will have a great chance. imo

The first half of the fight, or the first three rounds? Lets be realistic here, up until the 4th round all he did was cover up, move away and made no attempt to win. I wouldn't use that fight as a barometer, Mares doesn't stray away from challenges and always fights through adversity. That's one ugly comparison.

Yeah right, every fighter should fight his own size.

No my friend, fighting is about size, not weight.

Donaire is a ***** fighting smaller men. I hope they do fight and Mares beats his ass.
