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

[nacho daddy]

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.

if salido can enter the ring at 200 lbs he can rematch lomo again

That's boxing for you...I always wait until after the weigh ins, to really get excited, because any number of things can happen.

One of the guys breaks his hand in sparring, illness, off weight, cold feet...

Haha thats Karma for trying to fight dudes coming from a loss and from a lower weight class back to back. Its time to step up and face somebody in his own weight for once and not coming from a loss.

... Davis is a Lightweight (since 2017)... but he's still green, doe...

They should offer to Brandon Rios at 142.

Humberto Soto confirmed his fight with Rios for February 23rd in Tijuana so that's a no go

Brandon can handle it.
H's punch drunk already.

hahahaha! This right here ^

[daggum]

this looks like a classic bait and switch. promise a well known opponent and then have him suffer an "injury"

[BoxingIsGreat]

I thought Mares was a mismatch? Why even care about it now? I'm cool with the fact it's canceled, but it's damn too short of a notice. Who do you want to step in? Any feasible names? Farmer?

[Sosay]

Mares got scared and realized he'd get ko'd in 4-5 rds.

[SOPH~ REP.]

Didn't think they go hard a week or so b4 fight depends on injury I guess but not reported yet ?
