Comments Thread For: Mares Exercises Rematch Clause With Jhonny Gonzalez

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, and manager Frank Espinoza, have confirmed to BoxingScene.com that Abner Mares (26-1-1, 14KOs) has exercised his immediate rematch clause against WBC featherweight champion Jhonny Gonzalez (55-8, 47KOs).This past Saturday night in Carson, California - Gonzalez scored a major upset when he stopped Mares in ths first round. Mares got caught by Gonzalez's money punch - the left hook - and he never fully recovered.

Initially, Mares was going to take a rest until 2014, but now it appears the Mexican slugger is going to fight again in 2013 - against Gonzalez.

If Mares would have taken off until 2014, then Golden Boy, who hold controlling options on Gonzalez, were interested in matching him against Gary Russell Jr. [Click Here To Read More]

When Khan wants a rematch with Danny he gets hated on, but I am sure Mares will get love because we have many ******s on here. Mares was laughing at Donaire etc... and does talk too mofo's.
