Comments Thread For: Abner Mares Becomes U.S. Citizen: It's a Dream Come True

[PBR Streetgang]

...not only Mares went downhill and was never the same after getting trounced by a past prime Johnny Gonzalez...

Mares was in some grueling physical fights prior to that Gonzalez fight and Jhonny landed a brutally wicked shot that looked like it was shot from a cannon. I think those wars and that KO took alot out of Abner.

Well he was having a great run and looking like the next big thing... then Gonzalez happened

I think the Gonzalez fight was the main reason of his decline

t's not like he ended up all battered and bloody in the PDL fight or against light punching Anselmo Moreno. the Agbeko fights were wars, though

but against Gonzalez not only he suffered a brutal KO, his confidence took a deadly blow

he took an entire year to return, was fighting bums on his return and never went for the rematch, he was never the same either. Gonzalez ate this guy's soul

a prime Mares would have beaten Santa Cruz, no doubt

“One of the sports world’s most admired and revered athletes” lol, ok

Lol I don’t think anybody outside of this forum has heard of him

He´s Mexican-American, who cares if he was born in Mexico. Speaks perfect English and grew in Southern California which has a very strong Mexica heritage and population. Strange that the U.S. lets these Eastern Europeans stay, like GGG and others without having anything to do with the country....

no more hopping back and forth over the wall

Sounds like a children’s book for Israeli-*********** tales!

**** I thought Abner was American didn’t know he was born in Mexico.

Good for him.

I agree they need to send the Russians back they are our enemy.

Damn, I thought he already was a U.S. Citizen. Didn't he attend public schools in America?

You don't have to be a citizen to attend public schools just need bills that can prove you have a residence in the district.

Good on you be prepared to be drafted to serve in the military.

LOL nice troll, draft has been gone for 40 years now. Selective Service is not a draft .

Hmm! Very interesting; I didn't know that. The only reason why I thought he was a natural born U.S. Citizen because he always fought in America and spoke very good English.

He was one Hell of a fighter though back in the day; Especially when he used to fight with Golden Boy on Showtime.

I always dreamed of him fighting Nonito Donaire. In any case, thanks for the memo; It was much appreciated
