Highlights: Watch Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares go to war in Los Angeles

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.
