by Francisco Salazar - You would think Abner Mares has faced adversity to the highest degree in the ring over the last couple of years.
Actually it is true Mares has faced one tough hombre after another. Not only has he fought them, but he has won every fight since a majority decision draw to Yonnhy Perez over four years ago. Even in that fight, a majority of press thought Mares did enough to win.
Believe it or not, Mares has faced tougher challengers than Daniel Ponce De Leon, Anselmo Moreno, and Vic Darchinyan.
Only these challenges were outside of the ring. They were on the rough neighborhoods of the Los Angeles suburb of Hawaiian Gardens. It was having to come back from an eye injury that required surgery to continue his career.
So people would think that Mares is getting a “breather” of sorts when he steps inside the ring this Saturday night at the Stubhub (formerly Home Depot) Center in Carson, CA. He is fighting Jhonny Gonzalez, the hard-hitting Mexican who has won world title belts in two weight classes.
People could think that, but Mares is not one to buy in he is taking a break from fighting a murderer’s row of featherweights in the near or distant future. [Click Here To Read More]
