    Comments Thread For: Mares, Gonzalez Prepared For Rematch War at Staples

    LOS ANGELES - Golden Boy Promotions will present a rematch of one of 2013's biggest upsets when Jhonny Gonzalez defends his WBC Featherweight World Championship against former Three -Time & Three-Division World Champion Abner Mares, on Saturday, Feb.15 from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, Calif. live on SHOWTIMEŽ (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT).

    In their first bout on Aug. 24, 2013, at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., hard-hitting Gonzalez shocked the world with a first round knockout of Mares taking his title and his unbeaten record from him. On Feb. 15, Mares gets his shot at redemption.

      Props to Mares for heading straight to rematch the guy that knocked him out. Takes balls, even though I think it's a horrible idea. I will root for Mares!

          Very interested in this rematch..

          i think mares is alittle to small for a feather like gonzalez, I dont think he gets stopped again but can see gonzalez imposing his will and winning a close decision..

          Huge props to mares if he wins this one,, I will be highly impressed

                  Some guys need a tune-up to mentally get their confidence back. I don't think Mares is that type of fighter. He's a level headed young man and knows what he's getting himself into. I just think he was too relaxed against Gonzalez and tried to box too much. Next time he'll probably show a little more aggression from the gate to get Gonzalez respect.

                  I think Mares wins the rematch.

                              this was probably a bigger upset than broner v maidana. mares had actually proven he was pound for pound

                                  YessI. My bwoy Mares back in the ring. The problem with Mares in the 1st fight was that he didn't hold.

                                      Yeah and he got KO'ed in one by a lesser fighter than Maidana lol.
                                      I hope Mares wins the rematch though I didn't even sit down before the 1st one ended lol
