If Nonito has enough energy to take advantage, then Mares could very well find himself on the canvas. Moreno stunned Mares a couple of times and hurt him to the body too. I don't see Nonito winning if he doesn't go to the body.
    Good points, but as long as Mares doesn't get K.O.'d, keeps the pressure on and keeps busy I could easily see him getting the W, just like last night a lot of people didn't give him a chance to win!

      Donaire beats Mares like he owes him money. Donaire is a big, strong, fast, extremely hard hitting fighter with incredible timing. If you expect to beat him by rushing in with your head down and flailing away you are going to get stopped. Moreno will run and move constantly from a pressure fighter, which he has done in plenty of fights. But when Moreno stood and fought he actually landed cleanly pretty easily. Donaire doesn't have to run nor is it his style. Donaire landing cleanly on Mares is a whole different ballgame from having Moreno land on you clean. What is Donaires knock out % compared to Morenos? Yep. Mares got away with what he did last night because Moreno has nothing powerful coming back to keep him off. Donaire wont have to do much to get his respect.

        He's definitely top 10. If he beats Donaire, then we can start thinking about top 5.

          I think Donaire probably beats Mares and Moreno has a decent chance in a rematch. But all three fighters are outstanding around this weight.

              Beating Donaire would put him at #2 after Pacquiao.

                  But if Martinez beats Pac and Floyd.....two fellow p4p fighters in the top 3, he is cherry picking and he drops out of the top 10, lol.

                    Martinez should forget Pacquaio and concentrate on top opposition like Martin Murray.

                    Undefeated!!

                      Chill, lol. But TBH I rather see Mares there at #5 over Donaire. You would hear no complaints from me if they move Donaire down to #10 where Moreno wrongfully* was, meaning he didn't even belong there. Unfortunately, Donaire will beat Arce and will "further prove" his status as one of the "top 5 P4P" fighters of the sport lol.

                      Mayweather, Ward, Martinez, Marquez, Wladimir, Mares, Froch, Pacquiao, Bradley, Donaire, Vitali. That is my top 11 P4P list.
