..WHO WON: Abner Mares - Yonnhy Perez...

Was that rude that the fans would boo Mares when he boxed and used the ring? Why do some fans try to stereotype the mexican fighting style as being an idiot and having no regards for defense and constantly pressuring in the fight?

I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that the first three rounds were brutal. They went expecting to see a great fight in the main event. When they got spoiled in those first frames, it was rather natural that they expected a war throughout.

Some fans just like the stereotypical Mexican brawler. Mares, luckily for himself, isn't just that. He has decent skills overall and can get it done on the outside and on the inside. Does he have flaws? Yes. But one of those flaws is not his fighting spirit.

Though I agree that the draw was fair enough, I'm sure plenty of people had the fight for one fighter or the other. Regardless, if you HAD TO PICK A WINNER, who would it be?

It was a little odd actually because atleast once, maybe twice the crowd started booing and they were in the middle of some brutal exchanges, so IDK, weird.
Also, did anyone else notice when they were showing the celebrities in the crowd - that alot of fans booed ODLH? I thought that was a bit strange, being in L.A. and all.... what was up with that?

i thought mares won.

I had it a draw.

I gave each guy what I thought was a very close round, so I can see a close decision for either guy if you didn't have it a draw.

Mares won

He out-landed him by over a 100 punches and clearly won the last 4 rounds. Also, had him in obvious distress several times in that span. You could easily give Mares 7 clear rounds. But with the rounds Perez won, some were debatable. Clear robbery. Slob Shaw stacked the deck in this one.

I thought Mares edged it but a draw is fine by me. Mares will def win a rematch.
