Abner Mares responds to Nonito Donaire

[4Corners]

I don't think Mares gives Moreno the trouble that Cermeņo gave him IN THAT FIRST FIGHT. Not even close. Not because do I believe Cermeņo is better than Mares. Because, he is not. Mares is the much better fighter, the more skilled fighter. But, stylistically Cermeņo gave Moreno trouble, the roughness, dirtiness, the style, the style. Mares is more textbook, Moreno handles that with somewhat ease. Just little fits here and there. Nothing major.

Hopefully it happens, though it seems like Golden Boy is trying to get Mares a big fight at 122 first. I doubt that happens though. Mares and Moreno won't get anywhere near Donaire, if Rigondeaux (Top Rank) doesn't even get a shot at him.

[Roman Moreno]

The one thing I agree with Abner on is Donaire. I know Donaire beat Montiel, which was a great win, but he has no business talking about avoiding someone, given the stunt he's pulled the past couple months about Rigondeaux. Saying he's not well known enough or too boring, but then fighting Narvaez and now Mijares??? Donaire, in the position he is, should be fighting Arce, Nishioka, and Rigondeaux at 122, no one else.

He fought Narvaez before ever making a comment about Rigondeaux.

Nobody really gave a damn a bout a Donaire-Rigo fight until Rigo beat the ATG future HOF'er Rico Ramos.

mares is unlike anyone nonito's faced. mares is the truth and i'm not saying he'd win but it wouldn't be a one sided fight for any man.

you could also say that nonito is unlike anyone mares' has faced....

Yeah he did, but then he made those comments only 2 months after fighting Narvaez. I knew Rigo would kill Ramos, because I never thought Ramos was that good. But Ramos did KO Shimoda to win the WBA SBW title, which is better than anything Vazquez Jr ever has done so far.

I'm surprised to hear you, Jro, sort of imply that Nonito doesn't have to fight Rigo or shouldn't fight him before leaving the division. It just seems like Nonito is going to do what Mayweather did with 140, fight a couple okay fights, and then leave for 147. I mean, all Floyd did at 140 was fight Gatti (a pretty good win against title holder) and Corley, than went up to 147. He ended up fighting Ricky Hatton anyway, but at the time, it seemed like a waste for Floyd. If Donaire fights WV2, Mijares, and than Arce/Terrazas, it's a bit of a waste at 122 for him. 118 was a waste aside from Montiel, as was 115 aside from H. Marquez.

I'm agreeing with you on Mares and Moreno man, you don't always have to pull one thing from a comment you disagree with to stir things up man. I agree with you.

Not that I don't think he should fight Rigo. But, I don't believe Rigo is the man in the weight-class. The one fight that Donaire has to fight before leaving 122 is Nishioka not necessary Rigondeaux. I am more upset with Donaire not fighting Nishioka than I am of him not giving a damn about Rigo. Everyone making out that he is ducking Rigo. But, I think if he is ducking anyone at 122 is Nishioka.

I don't think Donaire is that proven at 122 neither is Rigo IMO. I just they're in the top 3 because of how weak the division is more so cuz' of them personally. However, with Mares moving up, Moreno moving up, Agbeko(only fighter who has challenged Moreno recently) talking about moving up, with Mijares, Arce, and Montiel probably being in the lower tier contenders. And, the likes of Tarrazas and Kameda coming up. 122 might start picking up where Donaire and Rigo can start proven themselves. Along with everyone else.

[Rome-By-Ko]

he's also proven he's willing to low blow anyone

LMFAO,

[MJ223]

Donaire would win..... Still would be cool to see the fight

Interesting he called out Rigo
