I don't think it's outside the realms of possibility. Moreno fought a lot of very short fights at a very young age, and I also think that he's been deprived of a few could-have-been stoppages because of his style. The Moreno that fought De La Mora looked like he had decent pop on his shots. I see Moreno having the same sort of power as Ricky Burns; not enough to stop people regardless of whether they want to be or not, but enough to make them back down.
Having said all that, it's still very unlikely Moreno stops Mares.
Moreno's not a hard puncher but he definitely has some pop in his shots.
But like you said, I don't see a stoppage.
I think Mares is going to get frustrated when he can't find the target.
Bold prediction, I just can't see Mares being stopped, outboxed yes, but not stopped.
