Comments Thread For: Mares Injured, Withdraws From Davis Fight; Substitute Sought

He should fight Pac, he called him out after the Broner fight. Thought he said he was calling Haymon to make the fight lol!

Read they're looking at Jayson Velez as a replacement?

Crolla is a mandatory but I'd imagine it will be skipped for the April date with Loma getting another unification fight to own 3 belts. I've heard Lomachenko openly say he's not that interested in the Crolla fight whereas Davis pursued and pushed for (even got impatient) Mares which wasn't a good look considering Mares is shopworn, on his 4th division, coming off a loss etc; Davis hasn't earned the right to cherry pick soft touches like this.

Mares pursued Davis. Well documented on social media.

Hugo Ruiz is the replacement.

It hilarious how every fan boy here is asking for Tank to fight Davis yet they bring up all these excuse for Mungia being to young to fight other top fighters and unify. Till this date everyone keeps making excuses for Canelo being too young and green after he lost to an old Floyd. Gervonta is 24 with 19 fights and Loma is 30 and in his prime... I have no problem with the fight but lets keep it real for every fighter and have no double standards when it comes to certain fighters and have excuses for them being too young when they're holding titles.

He got injured this close to the fight? Or a while back and they wanted to keep ticket sales going well for a bit longer? Can't expect much at this notice, guessing they go with Jhonny Gonzalez or another Mexican fans have heard of. Maybe they'll call Salido if he's not 200lbs by now.

I am thinking the same, it has to be a Mexican fighter they bring in.

Tell the WBA to call Chris John out of retirement lol.

Mares is a an opponent to help build Tank. Reminds me of Loma/Marriaga. I'm sure you killed Loma and Bob for that fight since he was coming off a loss, moving up, etc etc. LOL

PBC just got a new TV deal. They are giving their bigger names showcase fights in their 1st fights to build interest and excitement.

This sort of fight is common and has been for the last 75 years or so.

In a way it’s a blessing in disguise for mares. I really think tank would’ve done a serious number on him. How about that Ogawa kid that fought farmer for tanks vacant title. He’s a 130 lbs contender.

I was about to say.... if the event is nearly sold out, it's 100% because of Mares. Shame for all involved.

yup this card is weak AF all three tv fights. SMH I ain't going no more
