BIG FIGHT WEEK: Agbeko V Mares discussion

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

I wonder how king kong got over his sciatica problem. Its almost impossible to heal that problem.

Was it sciatica or chickenitis from seeing that Mexican warrior in his nightmares?

Agbeko controld and befuddled vic d, but vic boxed more vs mares.

I thought mares-vic was a draw on rewatches.

That was Vic's first fight at 118, he was still a natural SFW. And it wasn't a shutout, not by a long shot. I admit Agbeko has talent but sometimes has difficulties remaining focused and activity has also been a problem, thats why Perez beat him.

Great thread Walt...alot good feed back on this fight. Honestly thought more people would be favoring Marez for this fight. Being that Agbeko is the underdog, i might consider putting some serious money on him. I thought Marez might cruise to a decision in this fight but that's not the case here...Gonna go back and look at some tapes on both fighters..NSB need more threads like this..

it was a one sided fight for sure, vic couldn't get anything done in that fight and ended up just swinging for the fences. agbeko controlled the distance and pace of the fight.

He lost to perez in the first fight because he decided to fight perez's fight. he thought he could beat him toe to toe, which he couldn't (which I thought abner did by 2 rds in their fight).

When they announced the tournament, I thought Mares would win it and I see no reason to change that prediction. Agbeko is stronger, but I think Mares will outbox him to take a close decision (like he did against Vic).

A lot of people keep mentioning Donaire, but I doubt either of these guys will actually fight him. There's a difference between good fighters and great ones and the promoters recognize that. We'll probably see the winner fight Anselmo. Of course Bob Arum will try his hardest to lure one of them to fight the Flash.

mares used pressure and body punching to beat darchinyan, he didn't outbox him. and i doubt he will outbox agbeko, it's the opposite imo if agbeko will stick to the plan. agbeko has better ring movements imo if he doesn't get too excited going toe to toe.

Very excited. I got Agbeko by decision.

Winner of this fight apparently gets Moreno, which is bullcrap. Donaire should get the winner of this fight.

When Agbeko saw Mares, he immediately had flashbacks of Apocalypto and the end of his world as he knew it.

You been watching Brandon Rios war calls today? or just lion v hyena videos?

WTF is the winner fighting Moreno not Nonito for bojang? I haven't heard that. I thought Nonito was specifically waiting for the winner of this tourney.
