What...a...scrap!
Last night (Sat. Aug. 29, 2015), two talented Featherweight boxing standouts slugged it out, as Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares went toe-to-toe for the vacant WBA title in the latest installment of Al Haymon's "Premier Boxing Champions" series.
And if undefeated (30-0-1, 17 KO) standout Santa Cruz thought holding on to his unbeaten record was going to be easy, he was in for a rude awakening. From the get-go, Mares made it known that he would pressure Leo and would not back down one bit.
And he did just that, as Mares brought the action early and often.
