If someone doesent like mares fighting style, or what the ref isn't calling, don't watch mares fight! That seems to be what got him where he is today. I think it would bother me if he hit low when he was in trouble or something. But if you throw a crapload of body punches while chasing your opponent, im sure some of those are going low...
Good post. Anyway, kids, this individual needs boxing 101.

His punch was about to land on the beltline but was deflected by Agbeko's glove.
You should watch it again. That was one of many low blows in that fight. But that punch wouldn't have been a clean punch if Agbeko had his hands above his head.
Mares is a great body puncher but throws a lot of low and borderline punches and he should be criticized for throwing low. There was no excuse for the low blow he landed on Agbeko in 12th round of the first fight. He head wasn't being pushed down in that exchange or many of the other exchanges in that fight.

Dude is a joke. So it's ok for Abner's opponents to shove his head down but he can't use rough tactics back? GTFO here...why don't you guys fly to his town and blow him.
Did you watch the video? Bernstein said the referee should let both fighters get away with rough house tactics.
SHO execs called Al Bernstein and told him to lighten up on Mares cuz there trying to build him to a PPV fighter
HBO does the same thing about floyd using his elbow

Did you even watch the interview and listen to why they are pulling his head down? Sheesh.
berstein was probably taking alot of crap from the mares and mexican boxing fans...the truth is mares is one of the dirtiest fighters in the sport today if not the dirtiest, and the fact that he is able to get away with his dirty tactics and not even get a warning at least is disgraceful.
Mares is a very dirty fighter.
Embrace him. Al is right about the refs.
Great fighters can be dirty. Look at Bhop.Mares is borderline Eusebio Pedroza, Mustapha Hamsho dirty.

amir khan is the grandmaster of pulling people's head down... how many low blows has he been involved in?
