Los Angeles, CA– Saturday WBC 122lb champion Abner Mares (25-0-1, 13 KOs) defeated Anselmo Moreno (33-2-1, 12 KOs) in a close fight that saw Mares win by wide scores of 116-110 twice and a egregious 120-106 tally by James Jen Kin. Mares fought an absolute perfect fight doing what was necessary to win with what was allowed within the rules. Mares charged forward relentlessly at times headfirst, and tried to hit whatever he could against a normally allusive fighter in Moreno. However there’s a pattern that takes place in all of Mares fights. He gets away with numerous fouls. There was a time in the bout when Moreno’s body was spun around where Mares hit him clearly in the back, an obvious kidney punch. In the trenches Mares landed a number of low blows, his trademark, something the videos below clearly illustrate. If you repeat the same illicit tactics bout after bout is it fair to label him a dirty fighter? Or am I just picking on the young world champion?
