Man it sucks they can't fight, they both deserve it. Both these guys are 100% class. Here's some quotes:
Mares:
“I was feeling sorry for myself, but seeing Agbeko hunched over and limping at today’s press conference put everything in perspective for me,” he said. “I’m really pulling for him to get better. I want to win a world title but I want to win it from a real champion. I know Agbeko is for real, he beat two guys (Darchiyan and Perez) that I went to war with.
“I think he’s worth waiting for. It’s hard being patient but these experiences help me grow. When the time comes, believe me, I’ll be ready.”
Agbeko:
“Good afternoon. First off, all I would like to say a very big sorry to Abner Mares,” Agbeko told the gathered media. “And to Vic Darchinyan, Yonnhy Perez, Don King Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions, and Gary Shaw Promotions. And to the boxing fans, I am really sorry for what happened. It is a very, very big blow for myself and to everyone involved in boxing and to my family. This was a fight I really trained for and I was set to make myself and my country proud. The whole nation was behind me and it was a very big blow to everyone. I really want to say I am sorry to all of you. I want to say thank you to the doctor who took care of me. I want to thank Showtime for giving me the time to heal and get back to the Finals because this is a fight that I really want to fight. I want to prove that I am the best bantamweight in the world. I hope very soon I will be back on my feet and this fight will happen.”
