Comments Thread For: Abner Mares Wants Leo Santa Cruz, Frampton or Selby Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA "regular" featherweight champion Abner Mares (30-2-1, 15 KOs) is looking for a major fight in his next ring appearance. Last December at the USC Galen Center in Los Angeles, Mares dropped and dominated the betting favorite, Jesus Cuellar, to capture the WBA world title.

All three of those fights would be good

Didn't call out Russell Jr., because he doesn't want that work.

Yeah, I'd like to see any of those fights.

As for calling out Gary Russell, Jr...would you call him out over those three? Gary is a tough matchup and doesn't put asses in seats like Frampton or Selby or even Santa Cruz. "Mr" Russell is a good fighter, I like him, but he doesn't fight often enough to develop a solid following.

Would beat Selby. But not Cruz or Frampton.

[OctoberRed]

He didnt call out Russell because Russell has a mandatory defense in late May.

[Redd Foxx]

Would love to see him fight LSC again. I liked that one even more than the Frampton/LSC fights. Abner earned another shot after beating Cuellar.

Mares vs Gervonta Davis will be a great fight.

Why am i not surprised Oscar Valdez was not mentioned...

[Boxfan83]

& JoJo Diaz too.
