    Everyone should be a fan of Abner Mares

    If you don't like him, there is something wrong with you. The kid has talent, skill, versatility, hunger to fight anyone and ability to do whatever it takes to win. As I was watching the interview after his KO of PDL, he said something that really stuck with me. It was along the lines of, "DPDL is my friend, so I hope hes ok. It sucks to have to hit your friend, but this is what we do".
    All of these other fighters talking about "I can't fight my friend" are one some straight up BS. You get into this sport knowing its one on one competition. Of course you're going to make friends along the way, but its never an excuse to not fight someone. Abner Mares is the new Erik Morales.

    I'm a fan. I used to hate him because he was a nut hunter, but I've come around to him.

        When was the last time any fighter won 3 titles in 3 divisions in less than a year and a half?

              He is likable but not extra ordinary, from what ive seen over the years but he keeps getting better, id like to see him face Mikey Garcia if i had my way in the 126 division to really see what he is about.

                    When I saw him at first with Nacho coming out with the high hands ala JMM Rafa and R. Lopez I was like ohhh **** here is the next guy to continue that. ALways been a fan, wasn't sure what to think when he split from Beristein but obviously he is still having great success. He has adjusted to some very difficult styles and it was great to see him boxing again in the PDL fight (although he looked like he was tiring). The Agbeko fight did piss me off because I liked Joseph too and the whole thing was just ridiculous. Overall, Iy became a fan all over again during that Batam tourney I enjoyed those fights
