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

[Meximafioso]

So pulling a fighters head down and head butts are ok? The low blows are a result of being pulled down by the back of the head and being off balance while throwing the punch. Nothing you could really do. My whole thing is if your gonna whine Agbeko, then fight clean yourself, his fouling actually caused most of them low blows. How many head butts did he hit him with too?

That Darchinyan monkey is another one, measuring, pulling the head down, hitting in back of the head on breaks, holding...then whines when its done to him like he's a choir boy...get the **** out of here.

But since we are bringing race into this, just remember my people were inventing astrology, the calendar, bongs, and making ricans take a knee.

This is the worst refereeing job I have ever seen in my life. That ref was obviously paid off by Golden Boy or someone and it was for a Mexican to win. Don't bring race into it, **** that they are both Mexican then its fair game because it was BLANTANTLY ****ING OBVIOUS that this was a dirty ref. Not to mention it wasn't like Mares didn't do this against Vic either.

This shouldn't be accepted by the boxing community as a win. By extension, Mares should not be accepted as a titlist. I have no ill will for Mares, but he did not win that fight. The fight was a farce, and on the strength of the 11th round alone it would've been no worse than a draw as concerns Agbeko. I hope the fight is overturned, but I don't know how likely that is. Please people, don't consider this a win for Mares.

Kudos to Jim Gray for keeping it real with Russell "the blind man" Mora. No sugar coating in that interview, and bless Jim for that.


Anybody know Mora's address? I have an early X-mas present all ready for him...

Yes fairplay to showtime for calling like it is even though it make their tournament look like a farce now.

Mora is not blind, he is corrupt.

i felt so disgusted after the fight and was hoping someone would clock the ref with a bat to his balls or something. That ****** deserves at least that.
Just sickening.

I demand a rematch,and I hope boxing demands it too..I'm very upset right now...Any real boxing fan should be this was a disgrace...

Wow! Are you guys serious?? Mares won at least 8 or 9 rounds plus one clean knockdown! Quit crying! Shots ON the belt are clean.

-------------be fair, don't be an azz....WE ARE TALIKING ABOUT THE SHOTS THAT WERE BELOW THE BLETLINE.....we along with all three announcers who were right at ringside, saw multiple LOWBLOWS thrown by Mares....its fine to be happy that Mares won, but lets' be fair about the fouls that Agbeko suffered......I'd like to punch you in the nuts 15 times and see if it would affect you.....as Tarver said, low blows zap everything from you....i give Agbeko alot of respect for trying to fight mares and the ref.....and this makes the 2nd straight fight that Mares was allowed to getaway from fouls and subsequently win the fight, so there's a history with this guy.....

Hell yeah!

Belt Line Shots Not Low Blows

Yeah the ref missed that call in the 11th rd, but he was correct in not being the deciding factor in the fight by taking needless points away from legal belt line blows. Most of Mares shots were ON the belt line and that is perfectly legal. 2nd Agbeko was constantly pulling Mares head down at the same time Mares was coming in with body shots. This is what caused a lot of the so-called low blows and the ref was correct in explaining to Agbeko the reason he was not taking points away and the reason why some punches were low. even Al Bernstein who was so upset about one low blow that he decided to show the replay to display how right he was in his anger, but guess waht the so-called low blow was not low it was on the belt line and Bernstein quickly backed away from his outburst.

I for one am glad that a ref did not decide the fight for us. He made the correct calls regarding what some thought were low blows, but were on the belt or caused by Agbeko pulling Mares head down. Even the few puches, minus the one in the 11th, were not serious or deliberate they were just barely below the belt line.

Funny thing is I thought both fight were officiated very poorly..

Yeah me too.

Also he was the ref for Katsidis-Guerrero and he missed a clear KD for Katsidis. In the 2nd round Katsidis caught Guerrero with a clean left hook. He stumbled back and his glove touched the canvas. Mora did nothing.

I don't think Mora is corrupt. He's just a horrible official.
