Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread

[captainanddew]

I don't think Donaire faces either of these guys. I don't recall where I read it, but I don't believe these guys are on Arum's radar for Donaire.

That's a shame, it would make for great fights.

i have a feeling Arum wants Donaire to move up in weight again and fight either Lopez or Gamboa, ...

Then Arum has all the fighters in the fight and doesn't have to split the cash with anyone else. Winner becomes a superstar and loser can rebuild.

I dont mind that... Donaire Gamboa would be a fantastic clash.
Also leaves the winner of this to hopefully dominate the weight for a couple of fights and the move up with a big big rep

this should be a damn good fight.

In addition, if either guy gets knocked down or clearly hurt, Gus Johnson will scream like a 12 yr old girl that got to meet Justin Bieber.

Agbeko and Mares coming into the ring, I never realized how "Americanized" Mares is when he talks, just sounds like an Hispanic kid from California. For some reason i'd thought he was more of a "Mexican" fighter, who spoke broken english.

I had always anticipated he was more 'spanish sounding' maybe being more american is why people think he doesn't/won't have such a big following

Saying that crowd seems very in Mares favour

Mares comes out very strong in first minute. Getting off first. Left hooks to body and head.

Mares needs to go to the body, the body, the body, all fucking night.
