Daniel Ponce de Leon vs Abner Mares Full Fight Video Replay

Abner Mares crushed Daniel Ponce de Leon in the ninth round to remain undefeated and claim the World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight championship in his first fight at the weight class Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas (Sunday in Manila).

Mares floored Ponce De Leon in round two via a combination, and used his boxing to control the bout in the middle rounds. But Ponce de Leon got back into the fight by pressuring and pushing Mares, especially in round eight.

In round nine, during a close exchange, Mares connected on a crushing over-hand right that sent Ponce de Leon hard to the canvas. Ponce de Leon beat the count, but was still clearly groggy and Mares went for the kill as he unloaded hard shots while Ponce de Leon was pinned against the ropes.

Mares was announced the winner via ninth round technical knockout. Mares became a three-division world champion and improved his record to 26-0, with 14 wins coming by knockout.

Ponce de Leon lost for the fifth time in his career, and said that he felt the stoppage was too early.

Mares said he is planning to stay at featherweight after having won a title at the super bantamweight division.
