Your Evaluation Of Abner Mares's Comback?

[2501]

Mares had a decent, tough, opponent after a loooong lay off and eye surgery and I thought he looked sharped.

What stood out to me was the defensive he was displaying. If you've seen any of Mares's previous fights, you'd notice that he would get caught a lot on the inside and would also be countered plenty after throwing combinations. He was displaying EXCELLENT upper body and head movement. The positioning of his defensive slips where just right to where he wasn't out of position or had to exert more energy to counter what he was slipping.

I also saw a lot of body work, more than what he previously showed. He mixed it up great normally starting at the top and ending his combos with a left to the body and when he sensed his opponent was weakening, he went at the body more and more.

I don't think you can really ask for a more perfect execution of a come back than what Mares did there.

But yeah, he definitely looks like he's on the verge of showin everything. I read an article on how when Ortiz was sparring Oscar in big bear, Vic said that Oscar was "crafty" and "hard as hell to hit." I think that's all Mayweather Sr, who Mares had in his corner at one point for a grip of fights. And you saw in this fight, that Mares was as crafty and out of reach when he needed to be at every moment just about. Than you got Mares with his Ignacio offense that has obviously left a lasting impression on him...He looks like he's on the verge of showin everything. I thought a while ago all that would benefit him, and it's lookin lovely for him so far. I mean that was just target practice, and every punch he threw was just a arsenal of clever shots and power punches, to the body and head. It was ****in cake, good stuff.
