Comments Thread For: Jhonny Gonzalez Destroys Abner Mares in One

[Ganondorf]

I'm still an Abner Mares fan. Great job, Jhonny! Love Abner's attitude, though. Even in defeat, he didn't let me down.

I'm shocked. All props to Gonzo! I do feel, however, that the ref should've let the fight go on. Would've loved to see if Mares could recover and make a fight of it (or possibly win the fight).

That's the thing. He should have demonstrated proper recovery by not getting stung and knocked down the second time. That was a vicious left hook he took. He needed to cover up and hold. He did not give himself time to recuperate; instead he opted to fight back when he didn't have the legs to do it effectively. It was the first round anyhow! And that was his bad. It's a learning experience, though, and a mistake I don't think he'll do again.

The ref saw the whole thing and deduced that Mares was too hurt to continue at that point. He didn't know the time and should not care about that. After a knockdown, his main concern is the fighter's perceived health. That's pretty much it.

mares would have won this like in the fight with vic... he can recover fast!! bull**** ref!! *** u!!!!!!!!! u ******

he's a damn warrior, he could have gotten a 10 count. i've seen him endure perilous situations before.

steve smoger, where the **** were you tonight!

I don't doubt his heart; that is, oddly enough, entirely beside the point. Ref stops the fight if he thinks a fighter's health is on the line. Run yourself over to the Video Trading Block, download the fight when one of our excellent uploaders gets it up, and watch the replay - eyes were vacant as he hit the canvas the first time, not to mention the second time.

upset of the year...

That was a beautiful left hook. I think the ref was right to stop it, he did beat the count but was badly badly hurt from that shot! Mares can recover maybe since Donaire lost we will get to see Mares/Donaire?

The ref made the right call....

Bull**** stoppage man. The round was fkin over. Mares could've recovered. He got too much heart.

Hey do the boxing fans a favor and go over to the MMA channel & stay there. That way you'll be jn good company with people who don't care about a fighters health. Dude got caught & was hurt. He wasn't goi g to recover even if the round had ended. People like you don't care about the sport, just the damage you get to see someone other than yourself take.

Explained that way better than I ever could.

Ref did him a service by preventing more damage. I think this is good for Mares and he'll probably come back even stronger.

Abner is the next Juanma. But at least he didn't accuse the ref of being a gambler...
