That's good. Who want effing rematches? We don't have nine lives.
This sport needs variety. We've seen the fight. What more do you want?
Mares is done, anyway. He's become boring to watch.
All that running and clinching and preservation.
Gonzalez made him a boring fighter.

Wasn't really up for the rematch. Next should be LSC vs Valdez and Mares vs a Diaz or someone like that.

Delayed but not denied
Showtime is committed to airing the rematch whenever it happens, but the in-between fight now needs to be negotiated.
LSC and Mares, in separate fights on the same bill, is likely more than big enough for a PBC on FOX card. Santa Cruz will likely have to give up some money to make the numbers work (and I doubt that they'd burn out Staples Center with the split fights), but this interim show would be what he wanted to do anyway.
Find a soft spot in the college football schedule (October has two weeks without any real marquee matchups) or wait until December (early bowl season; look for a Saturday date where the Lakers and Clippers are both not in LA).

Just f#cking fight the guy & the guy you already beat at that LSC + Mares can only pass a physical in like 8 states in the US probably with whatever is up with his busted up ass., I really fear he could end up like Israel Vazquez.
I actually want to see the rematch, but this is just Leo wanting a payday before his payday, smh.

In the mean time Abner hasn't fought for 10 months since his career redefining win over Cuéllar and Santa Cruz has been out almost as long after beating Frampton.
Pbc just can't get it right. Leaving theses guys and wilder on the sideline instead of building on their momentum. No wonder the ratings are down. Fans forget about them

Originally posted by bigdunny1 View PostWhat happens to Mares belt? I thought he just vacated or was stripped of the WBA Regular belt because he was fighting Santa Cruz the WBA Super champ. WBA just sanctioned Jesus Rojas vs Claudio Marrero for the WBA title on the Canelo/GGG undercard
http://www.boxingscene.com/jesus-roj...-title--119496
At the moment, the WBA also recognizes Leo Santa Cruz as the "super champion" in the featherweight division. The "regular" champion until recently was Abner Mares.
"But as Santa Cruz and Mares are going to fight for the super championship (on October 7), the regular title has already been vacated," explained Bustillo to Sanchez.
Mares just lost his belt and the fight
