Re: Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread
Quality question to the ref...
Re: Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread
It's on the beltline.. this ref just buried himself with that post fight interview.
I know how hard it is in this economy and you should never wish for someone to lose their job, but that ref should never referee another fight ever again.
Re: Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread
Gray badgered the ref properly!!!!
Mares, I never hit him low!!!!!
Re: Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread
Mares will think different when he watches the tape.
The refs a numpty

Good 'fight'...but there will be a rematch
I had Mares up 6-4 after 10 rounds when I stopped scoring(with 3 rounds I considered very close), and up 3pts because of the KD. I stopped scoring in the 11th after that bullshit.
I hear you dude, fair enough. Agree. In my stubborness I cannot give a round to a guy on a crap call. Him defending it just now is disgusting.

"Don't ruin my moment." No one should want a moment like that or to even relish in it, come on. I understand it's a big moment but he can't be proud of this..
Re: Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread
push me down I'm still going for the bodyshots, I'm not trying to go low blow.
Love when Mares said, I never hit him low.
The knockdown was on the beltline according to Mares (and the ref) watched the replay and said I would like to review that again (and Gray said we can watch it again) and ref started backpedaling.
Re: Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread
Agbeko really is a great champion, and the fact he didn't respond with hard low blows, he shows integrity and a want to fight. Had that been Hopkins in the ring he would have body slammed Mares and threw the ref over the top rope. But I give a lot of credit to Agbeko for this fight, it says a lot about him as a fighter and a person.
Re: Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread
This is why you n.e.v.e.r believe all you read on Boxrec or record books....SEE the fight.!!!!!!

Considering that Mares scored 2 "KD's", it seemed odd that one judge scored it a draw (113-113). I hate fights that get marred by controversy. :(
Re: Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread
Mares isn't going to care when he watches the tape. he'll say he was pushing my head down forcing almost all of those to go low.

Agreed, I hope this decision gets reversed.
