    I think I grew to dislike Agbeko during this fight. He was a flopper just like his fellow countryman(I think) Joshua Clotty. Faking low blow pain, and acting like a baby every time Vic did anything close to being illegal was really annoying.

    Is that something they teach you in Ghana when you learn to box. It is pathetic.

    Are you serious? If he acted like a baby every time Vic did anything close to illegal, he would have been crying literally every 10 seconds of the fight. Vic was abusing him with headlocks, pushes, elbows and headbutts the whole fight. Then when he got hit with a clear low blow right on top of the cup, he took all of 20 seconds to recover. Not to mention the BS knockdown, that means HE was the one who got a point taken against him when it should have been the other way around. And whenever their heads met, it was Vic who did the bulk of the complaining.

    As for the fight, I always knew that Vic wasn't as good as he was against Mijares, I just thought that Agbeko, being as hittable as he was in his previous two fights, would get hit more then he actually did. He was still sloppy in the exchanges and looked more like the fighter who fought Gonzalez on Versus especially with that left hook, if it can be called that. On the outside however he worked well with the jab early and was controlling the distance and making Vic travel to him when he wanted to get off punches. It was refreshing to see the return of "The Crab" on Saturday night. It was more refreshing to see him outboxed again and it didn't take the best boxer in the division to do it. Vic against anyone top 5 at 122 or even someone like Fernando Monteil is murder, guaranteed KO especially if it was someone like Lopez.

    I knew it wouldn't be long before he abandoned the jab that won him the Mijares fight.

    I remember Don King saying Agbeko beat two opponents that night - Darchinyan and the referee. Vic was really in desperate situation. The 2nd push was flagrant and points should have been deducted against Vic imo.

    Is that the one where Vic lightly pushed him, and Agbeko went flopping across the ring, falling to the ground. Do you think Evander Holyfield or Miquel Cotto would ever act like that? No. Fighters need to behave like fighters.

    No. That's someone else.
