2nd time in a mares fight, ref helps his ass!
Third time. He constantly fouled Darchinyan, he constantly fouled Agbeko, and he constantly fouled Moreno, and the refs not only let him get away with it, they admonished the other fighter. It's complete and utter bullsh**. Mares is the dirtiest fighter in the entire sport, and he's allowed to get away with everything.
he's not low blowing on purpose when he's hurt like Hopkins or Cotto do, rather he comes in head first and throws uppercuts and some are bound to be low. And he did get warned, in fact another one and he would have lost a point.
Mate, that was in the first round. He then proceeded to throw about ten low blow combinations each round for the following 11 rounds without a single extra warning or point deduction. The ref had explicitly stated that any more low blows, because he'd already thrown about ten in one round, and he'd take a point away, then for some unknown reason, the ref goes into hiding despite standing right in front of about another 50 low blows without a word.
Suddenly, Moreno gets a point taken off all of a sudden, coincidentally when he was making a late charge and starting to gather real momentum, and it takes the wind out of his sails.
lol @ anyone giving Moreno more than 2 rounds
You cant score if you gave him only two rounds. They landed THE SAME NUMBER OF PUNCHES, and Moreno landed the showier ones. Most of what Mares landed were wild face first arm punches while charging. They were hitting air and arms which is why his connect % was so goddamn low. Without the horrifically bad ref, the fight was very close. But if you feel like fights are won on who throws more, then by all means, give the fight to the guy giving the business to the air around his opponent.
The ref was annoying because he was way too involved in the fight, with both fighters. He stopped the action at times where Mares was pounding Moreno with legal body shots.
With that said, there's something called outboxing an opponent/boxing circles around them, which is what guys like Mayweather, Wladimir, Ward, do. Then there's running, like literally running to the point where your opponent has to chase by sprinting towards you. This is what Moreno did; he f*cking ran.
The most redeeming scorecard i've heard in a while, 120-106. Don't give the guy a single round, didn't deserve it. Just like he didn't deserve to be anywhere near anyone's top 10 P4P list. Now Ring, Rold, and all of you who were hyping up Moreno, please remove him from your lists and put Mares on there.
My god, some of the **** you come out with is incredible. :nonono:
The Caiz's, both Jr, and Sr. are biased in favor of Mexicans. Whenever the Caiz's are involved with any fight involving a Mexican they will favor them in scoring or refereeing.
The ref was definitely a GBP ref. You could see moreno getting annoyed by him.
Mares is protected....and he doesn't need it. GBP is just as shady as TR (maybe more from the Agbeko fight).

The Brittish feed was perfect. Could barely hear the crowd, and the commentary wasn't all over Mares's nuts. They actually called out Mares's body shots missing a ton, and getting caught with Moreno's gloves.
How was Showtime's commentating?
Don't get me wrong, I gave the fight to Mares, with the KD, and the point deduction. But man, no more hispanic refs for his fights!!!
So you want a non spanish speaking referee for 2 spanish speaking boxers ... Good idea.
I agree.... But if Mares doesn't have to stop why should he.... We need a better ref for Mares fights.... Its not even Hopkinsesque its clearly blatant.... But he did what he had to do.... Props
