Yeah that's the great thing about this tournament. The four are all so good every fight is essentially a toss up.

Mares and Darchinyan FTW.

Though Mares takes it all. And I'd expect Yohnny to give Vic a hard time.

my bet is on mares, but if abedko can box the way he did against perez, mares' pressure style may work against him.

I don't think Vic will win another fight against the top level in bantamweight. I think he is a little past his prime and he doesn't bring enough power to get the respect of the bantamweights. It seemed to me Mares just walked right thru whatever he threw and it was always Vics power that came through when the going got rough. I wouldn't count him out of any fight but I just don't see him beating any of the top dogs at this higher weight...

My money is on Agbeko but I kind of want Mares to win. May the best man win.
