With all the talk of Cotto-Margs this saturday i think we all forgot about the other rematch taking place. I think as long as Mares doesn't get himself DQ'd he will get the win. What are your thoughts on this one?

I like both guys but I think Mares wins this one too, decision but I also see the potential for a late stoppage
Both guys are great ambassadors for the sport, so I'll be happy as long as we get a good fight
Agbeko got it this time..
KingKong closeDecision
way more relevant fight than margo cotto.
agbeko by late stoppage...
unless they let mares molest him again.
Should be a good fight, i'll be watching this one since i don't fell like spending the money on the PPV.
Mares by UD.
I think Agbeko comes out angry and motivated and either takes Mares out b/w rds 6 -9 or gets overly agressive and gets stopped himself. I don't see a decision taking place.
Thanks for the reminder MMASUX, i'd forgotten all about this card on Showtime saturday, Moreno vs. Vic Darchinyan should be worth watching on the undercard.
At Anaheim, Calif. (Showtime): Abner Mares vs. Joseph Agbeko, rematch, 12 rounds, for Mares' IBF bantamweight title; Anselmo Moreno vs. Vic Darchinyan, 12 rounds, for Moreno's WBA bantamweight title
In Re: Agbeko-Mares II, Mares must have willfully and/or blatantly hit Agbeko in the nuts at least a dozen times. I don't ever recall seeing a fight with this many low blows, where there wasn't a DQ, and the ref seemed to be oblivious to what was going on.
Mares is a fucking dirty fighter, and I hope this time there's a competent ref, and Agbeko beats the living shit out of him.
As long as Agbeko gets going right from the start and has that jab in Mares face I honestly think he's to cagey and effective for Mares in the late rounds this time and he takes a dec. Also Mares not going blatant Loraina Bobbit or being awarded phantom kd's would be nice too.
Since there is no other thread for this, i figured might as well make this the fight thread. I know a lot of people will not be paying for the Cotto/Margs PPV so they will be watching this one.
Sounds good, maybe we can get one of our wonderful mods to sticky this thread. (hint hint) :cool:Quote:

:action:
The undercard starts @ 9:00 PM EST tonight on regular Showtime and around 2:00 AM Sunday in the UK/Europe.
At Anaheim, Calif. (Showtime): Abner Mares vs. Joseph Agbeko, rematch, 12 rounds, for Mares' IBF bantamweight title; Anselmo Moreno vs. Vic Darchinyan, 12 rounds, for Moreno's WBA bantamweight title.
Great night of boxing for us fans! :hypnodisk:
Alright, here we go with the Showtime card, 1st up, Anselmo Moreno vs. Vic Darchinyan, for Moreno's WBA bantamweight title, both fighters in the ring.
I'd like to see Vic take this one..
Vic looking good so far, putting some hurt on Moreno, but Moreno is holding his own, I don't think this one will go 12.
Anyone got the link?
PM me. Thanks.
Moreno seems to be winning the fight after 8 rounds.
Yea. Moreno clearly won that round.Quote:

I may be off but Vic kinda has the look of a guy on his way to being rocked and rolled going into 9th...he really is getting his ears boxed as it goes
Darch better not move up to 122.
He looks very tired at the moment.
Barring some kind of crappy decision, Moreno should win this, Vic is getting the worst of it after 10 rounds.
Wow.... this guy fighting Darchiniyan.. this is an amazing performance. This is like the year of the newcomers.
He's not a newcomer. He was ranked number 2 by ring magazine in the weight division, ahead of Mares, Agbeko, and Vic.Quote:

UD for Moreno, he retains his WBA Batamweight title
Vic has a face only his mama could love.
This is a good one...

I have a bad feeling about Lou Moret here. Not a good sign when a ref starts by saying 'the last fight was the last fight, I'm not talking about that'....and then spends entire dressing room speech talking about it.
Agbeko MUST start fast, and he's a much better boxer than he has ever been giving credit for I think. Lets hope for a good scrap!
Alright here we go with the main event, "King Kong" Agbeko coming into the ring, I hope he's got an Iron jock strap on tonight. :rolleyes:
Here comes Mares, I don't like his choice of ring entrance music.
Round 1 Agbeko, he has to stay within that jab though and tighten up that loopy left hook. That jab bothers the shit outta Mares and breaks stride
Both jabbing, Mares mobile to left and effective with hook. Agbeko way to wide and I give Mares round...both nicked around eyes, Mares cut over right eye. Getting good
Mares has a bad cut, and it's only the beginning of the 3rd round.
Even fight so far, Lou Moret is a shitty ref.
