Not a fight I particularly want to see for Abner but it's not a bad fight if it happens & is a respectable introduction to the Featherweight division. I'd rather see him stay at SBW though for the moment, I don't see the rush in him moving up yet. I'd like a Mares-Santa Cruz fight personally because I'd strongly favour Mares to beat him. Then he could get the Rigo-Donaire winner which is the superfight he deserves.

But as I say it's not an awful fight, Morel aside Mares has been on a great run of beating World class fighters and Ponce de Leon is still a class opponent.

Yeah, can't argue with any of that.

This is a fight I particularly want to see for Abner even though it's a bad fight if it happens & a woeful introduction to the Featherweight division. I don't want to see him stay at SBW right now, I see a rush in him moving up. I wouldn't like to see a Mares-Santa Cruz fight personally because I'd strongly favour Santa Cruz to beat him. Then he could miss out on the Rigo-Donaire winner again because it's a superfight he doesn't deserve.

But as I, it's a pretty awful fight, Morel aside Mares has been on a great run of beating World class fighters and Ponce de Leon is a shocking opponent.
