Everyone should be a fan of Abner Mares

[Mr. Fantastic]

Count how many low blows he has done in his career without getting his head pushed down then come back to me with the number. Thanks!

Mares is under appreciated in the sport.

Legend, he should be P4P -3

Totally agree, great post.

I've been a fan for a long time now. The guy just keeps getting better and better. I wouldn't rule him out against anyone in and around his weight class. Even though he doesn't do anything spectacularly, he's intelligent and athletic enough that he can adjust against every style that he's faced so far.

I'd love to see him get the Chis John fight, more realistic than Mike Garcia!

I wouldn't go that far yet. He's accomplished a lot in the last 3 years but there's guys that deserve it more (even though I think P4P is bull****).

You could have him anywhere from 8-5 but top three is too soon.

What's not to like about Abner Mares? He's talented and has a good boxer/puncher style that I like to watch. It's good that he's hungry to achieve as well.

What will be interesting to see is, if he's lucky to be in the sport for 15 years or more, how his outlook will be then. Same hunger? Same desire? Same objectivity about opponents? I'm not for one minute saying that he definitely change, but success (and failure) affect people in different ways. It'll interesting to see how hungry he is to punch someone 10+ years his junior in the face, especially if they're close to him or he has a damn sight more to lose. Time will tell.

His last two fights were awesome. @126 TKO9 and @122 UD12 (against an impressive pure boxer).
