I was unable to watch Perez-Mares....

So you were unable to see the fight, right? But yet you thout it was a pick em fight??....something doesn't add up here...either way it was a war...I personally scored it. 113-115 for Mares but a draw is fine with me.

He thought it was pick em fight before the fight happened. Like you know, his prediction? He slightly favored Perez going in.

What doesn't add up exactly?

i'm sure he meant pre-fight in regards to making a prediciton.

It was understandable.

I had Mares up 2 rounds towards the end but it was a close fight and Perez was winning the middle rounds and he was the champ so not really suprising. Was a good fight they will do it again no doubt.

Yes, before the fight I thought it was essentially a pick 'em fight, hence why I said, 51-49 for Perez.....don't know anyone who scores a fight like that.

Thanks for the responses. I'm downloading the fight now, but would still like to know more. Would you guys says it was a case of favoring Perez's activity or Mares lower output, but cleaner punching?

mares actually had a higher output, i believe.

I think both fighters need a break before a rematch happens if a rematch does happen any time soon. Perez has been in a war in 2 fights I seen him in, and I didn't see him in the fight where he got a tko in 12th round. So he might have been in 3 wars!

Really? That's interesting, I would've thought Perez had the higher output, but Mares picking his shots and leaning the cleaner blows.

TBH I had Mares winning a very close fight.....I wouldn't call it a robbery though.....they were to evenly matched fighters and I just thought Mares did enough to win the fight.....no robbery though and I still think Mares has a bright future ahead, those were some brutal body shots!!!

[-Hyperion-]

i was rooting for perez, but i think mares won 7-5.....i did give him a very close round though......but i think if anyone won it was mares......they went at it early, mares was getting the better of it, then perez's will started taking over and mares seemed to want to get on his bike and was getting picked apart with effective punches........going into the last 4 rounds, it seemed like perez was gonna drown the young man, but mares found home with body shots and went into a late rally to IMO pull the fight by a hair....
mares was busier and landed more.....but through 10 rounds, yohnny was landing harder and being more effective...the body shots late by mares made it his fight though......great fight....nice result....

Not surprising about the body punches, Mabuza worked the body well early on, seemed to slow Perez down late, which allowed Mabuza to take over late. Judging form what I've read, Mares seems to have worked the body late, thought he would've done it early.

Thanks for your responses, seems like a fair decision from what I've read, can't wait to watch it.
