Agbeko Says 'I Won'; Perez Ready For a Rematch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

On Saturday night at the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Yonnhy Perez (20-0, 14KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision to capture the IBF bantamweight title from Joseph Agbeko (27-2, 22KOs). The scores were 116-111, 117-110 and 117-110. [details]

Could have gone either way but he should be complaining about the terrible judging in this fight.

The fight was hard to judge because it was so action packed it was hard to see who was landing the most and cleaner shots. But no way did perez deserve 117-110 score-cards. It's like gary shaw had judges in his pockets. This sport seems corrupt unless they just really have poor judges in this sport. I think its partial corruption!

No the ref shouldn't of stopped it. Cuz the ref did not see the headbutt. You can argue that the ref should of been in a better position. But, no way should he stop if if he didn't see a headbutt.

Ref shouldn't have ruled that a K.D. Could have gone either way; their really close bout does warrant a rematch.

WHY do African boxers always complain and *****?

Stereotype much?

Actually, a ref can't stop a fight because he sees a fighter complaining about something. In this case he didn't see it. I for one don't feel too much sympathy for Agbeko as he is known for headbutts. He practically has three fists and he wants to complaint? Please! I agree that the scores were ridiculous but it could have gone either way but I gave it to Perez because of the knockdown. Suck it up Agbeko!

I'm glad Perez kept punching when King Kong turned his back on him...just like Floyd did to Gatti...Protect Yourself at All Times!

Perez won clearly, he landed teh cleaner shots, teh tellin blows and rocked Agbeko a few times.

The funny thing is that Perez fought Agbekos styles, Perez is a boxer/Puncher, not a activity swarmer like he did tonight.


if perez would had use his own style he would had UD120-108 Agbeko in a boring fight!
