The fact that Moreno had to sprint backwards is testament that Mares was effective cutting off the ring. Dude literally ran away at times and thats out of frustration. He was trying to get breathing room.

he did good. He fakes a right and twist cause he knew moreno was gonn turn to slip the punch and mares caught him. He also thru his punches ahead of moreno to stop him and cut it off, he is the shorter guy so cutting the ring take more work .l

[Russian Crushin]

Yea he did. Moreno boxes from the outside and needs space.

Mares had no worries about running at him because of his feather fists

[sicko]

YES...but Mares is a boxer himself, not some dumb flat footed face first brawler, his pressure was effective because Mares has good footwork himself!

[..WaRSpencE..]

I hated when he ran after him..there's no way you've got good balance while literally jogging after your man...if Moreno would've stopped and hooked more than that 1 time he did..I believe Mares would've been knocked down..

other than that..he did a great job with his lateral movement and cut the ring off pretty good and trapped Moreno a couple times..

He did a really good job closing the gap between them. That was his game plan and it worked Moreno was never able to get a breather during the fight.

Yeah he did.

He knew Moreno couldn't hurt him and that's major these boxer vs. brawler type of matchups.

He did the best he could against a guy who barely wanted to fight. This is coming from some one who loves the boxing/defensive/slick style, when pulled off effectively. That was not effect outboxing/defense/slick, that was just sloppiness, running, and no inside-fighting skills at all. Top 10 P4P my ass.

No he wouldn't have, Moreno caught Mares with more than just hooks at times, especially when Mares let him get 6 clean punches where Moreno loaded up on and neither punch phased him. Moreno is very weak and Mares is not some glass chin boxer either.

Was it textbook? No, but Mares did what he needed to do and it was effective.
