Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz Edges Abner Mares in Classic War

Well at least Leo has a good win now.

LSC took care of business tonight. he kept it together against a relentless former champ. LSC has a lot of tools, i'd like to see him fight GRJ now. LSC got that one, i think.

Mares fought the wrong fight against Leo. Sadly, it wasn't his night.. Leo got the win and finally has a good name on his resume. I hope he continues to step up from here on out and gives us good fights.

Mares showed glimpses of the fighter he once was, sadly those flashes weren't enough. Better luck next time, champ. Mares till the wheels fall off but tonight he popped a tire lol. Oh well, puro pa lante.

Entertained the by card as a whole.

LSC-Mares wasn't a classic.

Good fight, yes.

There was some slop in there.

Cruz adjusted nicely midway and got the win. I like mares but if youve seen him before he make the fight look sloppy. Same with his Agbeko fights

It was quite disappointing.

agree. expected more. the atmosphere was great, the fight, not so much.

that's what i'm saying these people are ridiculous, great fight!!! why doesn't mares just go back to nacho beristain???? yea i'm sure him living in cali has to do with it but nacho had him on point, or go back to robert garcia, anyways in the post fight interview i think abner was putting some blame on his corner coach, should've stayed with nacho or go with robert garcia

yeah man. you don't leave nacho beristain.

Who tha **** is calling this a "classic war"?

[texasboi15]

People saying they were disappointed? What fight u watching? Mosley-Mayorga?

Please explain. Great nite of fights

It was an ugly drag out fight that wasn't necessarily entertaining to watch.

Mares fckin sucks. All that wild ineffective aggression.

[-PBP-]

no doubt a lot that was cased by the way leo kept the distance at times it was really his only chance to win but leo did his thing and didnt let him

The times Mares did get inside he smothered his shots and was totally ineffective. He looked awful tonight.
