I’m getting sick and tired of this silly Goldenboy & Top Rank bull crap. Why the hell does Goldenboy have to keep scheduling their fights the same night as Top Rank. Oscar is so full of crap it’s scary. He keeps sayn how he wants to fixed things with Top Rank and then turn around and make his fights the same night as Top Rank. It’s bad enough he has Alvarez fighting the same night as Chavez and Martinez but now he goes and set this great fight the same night Donaire finally fights another good fighter. He continues to make fans decided and pick & chose when he could’ve set this fight up a week b4 or after-I mean it’s waay more money with no comp then when there is. He need to set up big fights when there’s no other fights going on the same way with big movies-they don’t want any comp so they’ll put out a big movie @ the right time with no comp-thats how u get more-Oscar give me a freakn break

I’m with Anselmo Moreno to defeat ‘low-blow’ Mares.

The winner must take on the winner of Nonito/ Nishioka, then Rigo. These fights are exciting for the fans when the best take each other on. :grin:

This an awesome fight, plus it’s on the same night as Donaire/Nishioka! Moreno is one of the slickest fighters in the game, but it is gonna be tough to keep Mares outside all night long and he can’t beat Mares on the inside. I think Moreno will definitely have his moments, but Mares size, power, pressure and workrate will ultimately be a bit too much for Moreno to handle in the long run. Hats off to both men for making this fight happen. We, the fans are the real winners this time!

Seems like most don’t think much of Mares heading into his fight against Chemito..hopefully these same cats are not on here after the fight making excuses down playing Abner’s win if he pulls it off wich I think he will..war Mares!

Moreno by UD or TKO, very experience boxer and 4 more pounds it not when to change nothing for Moreno, maybe heavier hands. This fight will be great show of brave.

I love Moreno as a slick lefty he is more skilled the Guerrero pound for pound for sure.The way he dissected Vic was awesome.Mares will go down the same way.This guy Moreno in my book needs to challenge Donaire & Rigondeaux not Abner as I don’t think he is good enough.

This is gonna be a great fight, Moreno is my man on this one by majority decision.

I actually like Moreno in this one by decision. Mares is going to have trouble with the southpaw Moreno .

Mares by decision in a great one!

Mares om a controversial decision win.

Looking forward to this fight. This will be a damn good boxing match. I havent seen to much of Moreno but I have seen enough of Mares to know he can box and brawl. So definitely looking forward to this fight, actually I look forward to any Mares fight

this fight going to be competive and exciting since moreno is standing his ground more fighting in the pocket i do pick moreno to win not only is he skilled but now he sitting down on his punches and hitting harder now and his body shots is underated but mares going to be competive to the end tho

Good list until you mentioned Donaire. The guy is a ducker. Can’t wait until he gets in there with someone as fast as him like Rigo and gets outclassed.

Have to agree with you, there are some good quality fights. However, I don’t think Dawson v Ward will be exciting. Ward will not let it be exciting, expect Dawson to be pinned to the ropes with Ward’s head. It will be about as exciting as Bradley v Alexander.

Toss up between Mares v Moreno. I like Moreno due his skill and defense but Mares is going to be big compared to him. I hope Moreno wins but I’m not betting against Mares.

Refreshing to have two top boxers actually wanting to fight each other instead of making any excuse not to. Both these guys are great fighters – I can’t wait for this one; I only hope that it’s shown in the uk.

i like moreno to im a fan he the real deal he for sure can win this fight but no way this going to be a easy fight for him abner mares dnt get enough credit he got a solid resume he been consisent each fight moreno skills going to be tough for mares to deal with but mares body shots and combinations and heart and inside fighting can be hard for moreno to

This exactly what boxing needs: top fighters going against each other, and we have really 4 possibly classic fights coming up now. You got to give it to Mares, this kid will fight anyone and he’s not waiting around for the big payday, he’s going to beat his way up the ladder. Having said that, Chemito is going to be a tall order.

Mares vs Moreno…what’s not to love about this fight between 2 young champions! I am leaning towards Moreno on this one…excellent skills, more experienced and more elusive in the ring. Not to say it will be an easy fight for either man.

Posted August 17, 2012 4:49 pm 

da ugly truth

Mares has fought tough opposition back, to back to back, to back fights and still no props.. he beat abeko, Vic, and a draw with perez… No fighter in recent times has put himself in a tough road like mares has… This fight with moreno will be a great one… If Mares wins this fight, hands down he will destroy donaire…

Anselmo Chemito Moreno by wide UD or by late TKO.

one of the best fights this year,of course nothing tops chavez vs martinez,that fight has been asked for a while now,chavez/mtz…mares/moreno…rios/alvarado to me are the fights i’m looking forward to this year,,,dawson/ward is ok but i don’t like the idea of dawson coming down in weight i think it will hurt him plus they kind of boring to me,they just hold way too much,

Yes the winner of this fight shouls be able to crack the top 10 P4P list with no questions asked, good fight between Moreno and Mares..

Great match up! Moreno will win a decision. He’s not very powerful, but they guy can box, has great defense and is slick. I think he’s going to frustrate Mares. Great fight to see.

Props to GBP for making a tough fight for Mares.. they coulda gave him a bum or former champ past his prime and keep waiting out a fight with Donaire or moving him up.. but they gave him Moreno.. I like it.. a good fight for two young really talented fighters.. the winner should be p4p ranked hands down… and should get a fight with Donaire pronto… but the chances Big Bob lets that happen… enhhh….

Posted August 17, 2012 2:37 pm

Yeah dude.. boxing ain’t dead.. we have Dawson vs Ward.. Martinez vs Chavez Jr. (hopefully)… DOnaire vs Nishioka.. RIos vs Alvarado.. and this fight.. plus Garcia vs Salido.. and maybe Broner vs DeMarco… those are all solid fights to me.. boxing just needs to hit mainstream again with good fights.. and not Pac and Mayweather fights.. but mainstream with other fighters…..

That being said, I like Mares but Moreno could win this.. he has more boxing skill than Mares and Donaire to me.. I think this is teh best fight made this year.. second would be the Martinez Junior fight.. the Ward Dawson fight is great.. I love Dawson… BUT that fight will not be exciting to most fans.. I will still enjoy it but I know it won’t be exciting.. rooting for Dawson

this has got to be the best fight this year next to ward vs dawson in my book and i really think that the underestemated moreno is going to come out on top and i hope he’s not cheated like abril was,lets go boxing it’s def. still alive and breathing well…..eazy!
