deleon11By Onaps: The Bright lights of sin city shine on the squared circle of the MGM Grand tomorrow evening. Everyone is waiting to see if Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero can upset boxing’s bad guy, Floyd “Money” Mayweather. While we are anxiously waiting for them to make the ring walk another fight, possibly, the best fight of the Night will be taking place.

Abner Mares vs. Daniel Ponce De Leon. I, for One, think This will be a barn burner. Mares is one tough kid that possesses a lot of heart and decent boxing ability. De Leon, a hard punching veteran, has the tools to knock Mares off of his perch.

Both of these warriors can beat anyone (Mikey GarcĂ­a, Nonito Donaire & Guillermo Rigondeaux aside) near their weight. This makes for One helluva fight. With Mares moving up in weight, to challenge for De Leon’s title, did Abner bite off more than he can chew?

I believe that Mares is a bit over rated, but has shown tremendous heart and chin. He has also fought stiff competition throughout his career. That being said, Ponce De Leon may be the guy to snatch the 0 off of Mares record. This fight will be a war and will go down to the wire although in my opinion, De Leon has too much pop for his young adversary.

My prediction is that This fight will steal the show and De Leon stops Mares in 11 in a brawl that will warrant a second fight. Both fighters will hit the canvas but I believe De Leon will endure early damage to out last Mares, in a fight of the year candidate.

However it turns out, I am excited to see This One and will be watching with anticipation and excitement. Get into a comfy chair, get to the John before the Bell rings and gran some popcorn. This one will be a war.
