Comments Thread For: Jhonny Gonzalez: I Believe Abner Mares is Afraid of Me

[Spray_resistant]

Is Gonzalez scared of Gary Russell? Because he turned that fight down.

I'm still high on Mares and think he can get his belt back.

Russell should at least have to fight someone not named TBA or Tomato before getting a title shot don't you think?

Yeah but hes gonna go fight some other tomatoe can in mrch instead of russell???makes no sense to me..he just sees the risk,too much speed to much skill.

True it gives him the right to say whatever and Jhonny is rematching him no problem and all of the delay is coming from Mares its fair play.

Yeah man, Gonzalez can say what ever he wants. Mares needs to get his act together.

Lol I agree

Russell vs Mares is interesting now that I think bout it but idk what to make of thebguy. He fights nobodies. Ab has fought world class fighters.

Lomachenko is getting a shot after just one pro fight so apparently anything goes in that weight division.

Russell is ranked #1 by the WBO, #3 by the WBC, #3 by the WBA, and #8 by the IBF. So at least he has done enough to meet the requirements of several different alphabet organizations.

It looks like Jhonny put the friendship aside to let his true feelings known. I agree with him... As soon as it was announced that Mares was taking another router due to BS excuses, I said it was clear he wasn't confident going into a rematch. Another loss would truly deflate his career.

Why is his rib injury a bs excuse??

If he's fight March 29th he can't wait 5 more weeks til May 3rd.

If they rematch it will be interesting. Mares may be through, but I thought Gonzalez was through a long time ago and look where he is now.

Mares is having second thoughts, whether you Abnar fanboys believe it or not. He's a good solid fighter, but he was flat out wrecked in that last fight.
