Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread

[Spicoli]

Not terribly thrilling? Really. Bantam tourney has been solid and these two are very under the radar and glad its coming off. Agbeko has improved his boxing quite abit and picks spots more but I worry how much his issues are weight related. Mares mixes well and body will pay many taxes on Joseph but I think Agbeko takes him deep and pulls off solid dec win.

I hopped on tha Mares bandwagon the first time I saw him on the Golden Boy "Fight Night" show what 3 years ago? I think he had 13-14 fights at that time but even then he was a dedicated bodypuncher I began calling "whack-whack-whack" because he'd triple up on those hokks to the ribs.

Agbaeko is going to be a real test.

If everyone will just stay home this division could be a real treat over the next 2-3 years.

Mares takes this one. I wonder if he fights Donaire afterward.

Kong is going to put a whippin' on Mares saturday, even Mares own mother won't recognize him.

I gotta admit that I have only seen these guys a couple of times but I think Agbeko takes him to a clear cut decision win. Also I think Agbeko vs Donaire is a more intriguing match up style wise......but thats just my opinion.
