Chances of A Bad Decision In Agbeko-Mares?

I see a fight similar to Cotto/Clottey, with favoritism towards Mares.

Depends on who's got more pull, which obviously Mares has.

I bet Agbeko's team knows it too, and that's why they have to work doubly hard to stop Mares and avoid the fight going the distance.

good analogy on the style matchup. agbeko is more of a free wheeler and risk taker than clottey - agbeko favors 1's (leading with straight instead of jab), and 1-2's, concentrating more on power and accuracy, while mares favors the 1-2-3's, and 2-3-4's, etc. (three and four punch combo's). high work rate (mares) vs. more powerful, accurate shots (agbeko). that lead straight of agbeko's is a game changer for sure, and mares is a BEAST of a combination puncher.

i favor mares, but i see the fight being one of those where you could make a good case either way.

Its going to be a great fight, but there's a chance of a bad decision in every Boxing match these days. Its sad buts its true.

[QUOTE=The Mighty FSM;10976855]This fight should be action packed and competitive. I think Mares will have more fans there which will influence the judges plus he is the more marketable guy/is with GBP.

What do you think are the chances of a bad decision in this fight? I am considering putting money on Agbeko but I might not because the fight could be close and the judges could be the deciding factor (in favor of Mares)[/QUOTE]

But if the fight is close & competative why is Mares winning a bad decision?

Because imo a fight can be close but clear. Too often nowadays the wrong guy gets the decision (we all know why)

Extremely good chance of an unpopular decision here. I have a feeling that Mares will get the decision if there is any possible way he can.

Well I forgot about the ref.

If the judges don't get you nowadays, the ref will
