    Cermeno would in all likely hood do the exact opposite. Cermeno has the ability to dictate the pace of the fight and get his opponents to chase him. He actually makes opponents look worse than they actually are. I thought Moreno just edged him, but he even Moreno didn't look too good in spots. Did the same to Valdez and Mijares too.
    I really don't see this at all. I honestly think Agbecko is a legit fighter at 118 and while vic lost fair n square...he didn't look bad at all. I just thought he had the wrong game plan by trying to load up on his punches instead of setting up etc like he did against Mijares. The thing is Agbecko has one of the most underrated chins in boxing and I really don't see anyone knocking him out, which Is why I don't knock Vic for his inability to do so.

    As far as the Ceremo vs Vic...I honestly have to see more of him before I'm confident in picking a winner. I have seen 3 of his fights but I didn't pay enough attention to give a proper opinion on how him vs Vic would play out. Give me a few fights and I'll get back to you...but I still don't think Vic would look as bad as people think at Bantam and I actually see him having some success there.

      I honestly think this is a scenario in which we are promised a steak and end up with a bologna sandwich (I admit this is an extreme view on things). I really want to see the top Bantam at 118 but I truly believe it will be a 4 man playoff similar to the tourney King set up with the MW's a few year back.

      My prediction

      Vic vs Abner
      Perez vs Agbecko

      Winners face off and we really didn't get anywhere outside of seeing if Vic is legit at bantam and who is the best fighter out of Perez, Agbecko and Mares.

        This is great news, But my favorite active fighter most likely won't be in it (Montiel)

          Style-wise, Perez-Agbeko is a FOTY contender. It has war written all over it.

              That's awesome news for us but I'm not sure it is awesome for Showtime. It might be pretty cheap to get these guys to fight each other but the profits won't be that great, certainly not on the level of the Super Six. I guess any profit is better than no profit but without any American fighters the ratings won't be that high. I myself can't wait to watch.

                TBH, I thought both he and Agbeko didn't look too good in their fight, it was pretty sloppy in general. Agbeko is a legit fight and he lost fair and square but he didn't look very good, IMO. He's sorta reverted back to the bombs away approach he had. We he does that, he needs to be able to impose his strength and power and couldn't do that with Agbeko. Agbeko did show some decent upperbody movement in that fight though, making Vic miss.

                Thought he looked okay in his fights with Rojas and Guerrero. I think his team realize he can't get away with all that loading up and just going for the kill mentality. In his fight with Barcelona, he was aggressive early on, but Barcelona was finding success with his left hand and making the rounds close and competitive. They wanted him to box and set up his punches, and while he did, he was still taking unnecessary punches.

                Look for his fights with Mijares, Valdez, and Moreno. Mijares II and Moreno are hard to find, but since you're on the ******* sites you should be able to find them.
