Comments Thread For: Jhonny Gonzalez Upbeat, Waits For New Mares Date

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Normally the news of a fight being postponed would leave a fighter gutted. Jhonny Gonzalez hardly missed a beat, however, when he learned his rematch with Abner Mares will no longer happen on February 15.

The fight, which was slated to take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, is now being targeted for March after Mares suffered a rib injury during training camp Monday afternoon in Mexico.

“We received a call from (Golden Boy matchmaker) Eric Gomez, who explained to me that Mares has an injured rib and won’t be ready for February 15,” confirmed Oswaldo Kuchle of Promociones del Pueblo, Gonzalez’ promoter in Mexico. “They are negotiating with SHOWTIME to get a new TV date, hopefully in March which postpones the rematch only one month.” [Click Here To Read More]

Mares doesn't have to worry about his ribs... it's his chin that's gonna fail him. HA!

Hopefully they give Jhonny more duckies to cover extra costs for training camp.

Damn! Almost bought tickets for this. Oh well, hopefully it happens in march.

It's pretty clear that this fight is going to be on the undercard of Canelo vs. Angulo (I'm pretty sure, that this is the direction now they'll take). Especially if they try to sell as a PPV which I doubt.

Canelo vs. Angulo
Gonzalez vs. Mares II
Lara vs. Molina II

That's my guess what the card will be and I won't be surprised if they move it from the MGM Grand Garden Arena to the StubHub Center in Carson, CA.

Man this sucks, another month out. I am realing looking forward to this fight. I though it would have lasted longer, with eventually seeing mares outwork gonzalez. Boy was i wrong, cant wait to see this and hope it lasts longer. Big fan of both and dont know who to root for. Mills lane lets get it on!!!

Watch out for the left hook again abner. Jhonny can punchhhh!

Mares is a good boxer, the dude got robbed in the Olympics man but he's not gonna keep boxing Johnny. Abner can't help himself but to trade.
