Image: Mares-Moreno, Angulo-Casarez, Arreola-TBA, Santa-Cruz-TBA on November 10thBy Allan Fox: In an exciting match-up coming up on November 10th, WBC super bantamweight champion Abner Mares (24-0-1, 13 KO’s) will be putting his title on the line against what many boxing fans see as the best fighter in the bantamweight division in WBA bantamweight champion Anselmo Moreno (33-1-1, 12 KO’s) at the Staples Center, in Los Angeles, California.

This is a big, big test for the 26-year-old Mares, as the 27-year-old Moreno is a highly skilled southpaw fighter known for his defensive skills as well as his good counter punching ability. He’s not the inside fighter that Mares is, but he’s capable of fighting well on the outside. This is a going to be a really tough fight for Mares because Moreno is completely different from the guys that Mares has been fighting up to this point. Mares has beaten guys like Vic Darchinyan, Eric Morel, and Joseph Agbeko.

Casarez tried stepping it up a couple of times against 2nd tier opposition in Rudy Cisneros and Michael Soberanis in the past and was beaten by both of them.
