Comments Thread For: Espinoza Talks Mares vs. Gonzalez, Gary Russell Jr.

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Frank Espinoza, manager of featherweight titleholder Abner Mares, discussed his fighter’s potential Aug. 24 matchup with Jhonny Gonzalez.

“First of all, Abner will fight anybody,” Espinoza told BoxingScene.com. “When you get to this level, you have to fight guys like Jhonny Gonzalez, an ex-two-time champion.”

After amassing belts at bantamweight and junior featherweight, Mares (26-0-1, 14 KOs), from Hawaiian Gardens, Calif., made his 126-pound debut in May, impressively stopping Daniel Ponce de Leon in the ninth round. If the deal is finalized, he will make his first defense against Mexico City’s Gonzalez (54-8, 46 KOs), who once possessed Mares’s belt before losing it to Ponce de Leon last September.

Fun fight. Abner Mares needs more fights at 126 to establish himself.

He's a small guy and needs to acclimate.

I heard Russell wants to get married but he is waiting because he wants a wife named TBA since he loves TBA's. How in THE HELL could this guy turn down Billy Dibb? I'll never forget that. He has a ton of skills but TBA doesn't cut it.

gonzales is good fighter but he's not durable...most of his losses were by ko. mares would knock him out too. it's gonna be an entertaining fight though for as long as it lasts.

as for russel, he should step up his game if he wants to get in the mix.
