Comments Thread For: Abner Mares Edges Joseph Agbeko, Wins The IBF Title

[hillbilly]

The ref took it to a whole new level.

Even if it had just been one low blow--the one in the eleventh--called mares wouldn't have won. Agbeko was winning the round--by calling it a knockdown, he lost two points. Mares should have lost a point for the blatant foul and lost the round" another two point swing. Now it is a majority draw.

Just realised Mora was the one who ref'd Donaire vs Montiel and he let the fight carry on after Donaire ****d Montiels soul.

If he doesn't get fired, that'll be a huge injustice to boxing.

No one is that bad at refereeing, the guy is corrupt.

Great!!! Mares won, bring

That was Bring on Donaire!!!I want the bantam division one way or the other.

unbelievable, I'm glad Jim Grey put the ref in his place with that interview. I had it a three point fight for Mares by fight's end scoring the 11th a 9-9, if a point was deducted instead of being ruled a knockdown that's a two point swing and a one point fight. And if the first round knockdown had been justly ruled a slip, we would be looking at a draw.

Ive been watching fights for over 40 yrs and this is either the most incompetent pin head ever to referee a fight. Or,somebody got to the ref.. dozens of low blows are enuff to take the starch out of any fighter.. its a wonder agbeko could even finish..

That's "unified" one way or the other.

Ok a rooted 4 Mares but i agree he should have taken at least 1 or 2 points, and that 11th rd knock down was not fair for Agbeko.

But in punchcast Mares won fair and square.

To the one saying it was REF from WBC and for that reason helped Mares, has to learn that the title was 4 IBF. Not WBC at all.

Anyway, in spite of the clear punchcast win, a rematch is needed urgently to clean up this shadow of doubt.

I despair. Just shocking officiating and there will be no justice. Totally dispiriting.

There needs to be a criminal investigation in to it, a performance like that only happens when large sums of money have exchanged hands.
