He should retire. This is his second detachment and he can’t continue to heal at thirty for eye injuries. A real doctor would tell him to quit

Santa Cruz, a class act and one of my favorite fighters, I was so glad to meet him at the Barclays Center, took a picture with him and my 2 boys and got an autograph, great guy!!!

Abner has had a stellar career & will be a HOF when it's all said & done.
Now with a second detached retina (Differnt eye), Its time to call this a day.

Ultimately it is not our call.

I think he should retire. He's very well spoken he could have a great career calling fights and as a analyst.

Selfishly I'd like to see him stick around but he should probably hang it up. Actually he should come back for the rematch with Jhonny Gonzalez, loser retires, winner goes on to fight Salido, loser of that retires and the winner fights Micky Roman, loser of that retires and the winner fights Francisco Vargas

You can go blind from a detached retina so he definitely shouldn't consider fighting.

Even with surgeries there is a good chance your eyesight will never be the same.

I never really rated Mares that high but he definitely was a competitor and gave his best so he should call it a day.
