Mares-Agbeko, What I Saw

[marbleheadmaui]

good post
I saw Mares winning the fight , even if he had a 2 point deduction , and the second knockdown being called a low blow.

Mares was the better fighter simply, altought the referee was unfair to Agbeko, Mares still presented more skill and talent

See this is what makes this referee's performance so unfortunate because you can't say how this fight turns out if he takes points. Mares was given a pass to attack the body without discretion when he wasn't penalized for the numerous low blows. Who knows how this fight changes on that alone. Also another thing that no one has mentioned is the effect it had to have on Agbeko MENTALLY! He showed true heart but fighting two people had to weight on him so to say that Mares was simply the better fighter is not a fair assessment........oh yeah, not to mention the physical impact the low blows had on Agbeko

Excellent point.
