Bantamweight tourney final - Agbeko vs. Mares fight thread

[LukeH]

Yeh gotta agree Luke, this is a huge fight as is the tourney.

I think Agbeko has really transformed from the face first steamroller who battered Luis Perez and fought in a ugly cave man fight in 1st defense with William Gonzalez. He really was overlooked going in vs Vic...and then schooled him, scores in 1st Perez fight didn't do either guy justice in a nice scrap...flip a coin really, then was a boxing fool in rematch. I think his weight and health issue can be concerning...Mares body attack will be telling if Agbeko isn't smart. This is a great match up

Can we sticky this bad boy btw

Ive stalked the forum enough to know your high on Agbeko .
Thing is if Agbeko win's I wouldnt have a problem with him going against Donaire straight away( I wouldnt favour him but he's a tough cookie). If Mares comes out on top I dont think he's ready yet...

I'm a converted Carl froch fan ...i admit it.

I like both dudes . Abeko has two major flaws IMO . One he leans over two much , and two ( and I'm only going by the hbo translator ) his corner is absolutly worthless . I see mares catching abeko with an uppercut all night and winning a tough tough decision

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.

Joseph better box, all I'm saying.

Guarenteed they will go toe to toe at some point... I'm hoping Mares swings hard to the body when they do.

[Mars_ax]

Gus Johnson keeps turning up like a bad penny, nice gesture by Tarver, dedicating the his win over Danny Green to Nick Charles.

Looks like Agbeko vs. Mares will be the only fight Showtime will air, and none of the undercard fights.
