Rafa for me.

I like Mares but he didn't do enough at 118 to prove that he'd have enough to handle Rafa, for me.

It'd be a good fight tho and Mares would push him, no doubt.

Rafa.

Every day of the week & twice on Sundays. Technically at least as good, with a beautiful jab that would pose Mares all sorts of problems; not as busy but a much, much bigger hitter. & despite Rafa's vulnerability to a heavy puncher I don't think Mares could hurt him, to be honest.

Prime Rafa win by KO

I like Rafael by KO in that one.

Good fight though

Rafa in his prime, at bantam, was once considered P4P the hardest puncher in boxing.

and with excellent technical skills to boot, he'd tear Mares a new hole
