Mares-Agbeko, What I Saw

[marbleheadmaui]

bear with me I haven't read any of the threads. I also watched the fight with the sound off (except between rounds) and i didn't watch any of the post fight stuff. Has there EVER been a more dismal pair of broadcasters than Gus Johnson and Jim Gray?

Anyway.

-I had it 6-6 in rounds so with the two knockdowns I had it 114-112.
-I thought the Mares corner made a nearly catastrophic error between rounds 2-3 telling Abner NOT to pressure Agbeko as hard as he had been. That let Agbeko back into a fight Mares was dominating.
-Mares, as good as his left hand is, fought nearly one handed. A mistake in my view. But his handspeed advantage helped.
-I thought both knockdowns were really questionable. The first one really looked like a slip was the better call and the second was an obviously low blow.
-Time to get to something I generally loathe talking about. Poor refereeing. Russel Mora had a really rough night. I generally am really sympathetic to low blows being originated by the recipient pulling down on the puncher's head. But that's just not what I saw. Mares landed, by my count, 473 low blows. I could not believe no points were taken by about round six. Mora had warned him what? 7-8 times by then?
-Agbeko had to feel like he was being disadvantaged every way possible. Yet he did nothing about it. He should have.
-Agbeko was his usual sturdy and tough self. But he's just a trace less athletic than Mares and he just didn't come on eraly enough to win a seventh round in my view.

Good, tough pro fight and I have no problem with the fighter's efforts, skills or the judging. The refereeing was weak. lastly, did it seem to anyone else that Nonito Donaire is maybe two cuts above either man who fought tonight?

My take anyway. What'd you see?
