Abner Mares vs. Anselmo Moreno

---

Abner Mares proved a lot to his doubters with an impressive--albeit dirty--unanimous decision win over the ultra-skilled Anselmo Moreno, who was moving up from bantamweight for the first time to challenge for Mares's WBC 122 lb. title. Mares floored Moreno in the fifth, the first time the Panamanian had hit the deck in his professional career. Attendance at the Staples Center in Los Angeles was 6,341.
