Comments Thread For: Abner Mares - "Both Agbeko Knockdowns Were Good!"

[Eaner0919]

I don't condone the use of low blows in any fight and although there were a handfull of clear and blatant low blows that undoubtably deserved a point deduction many were right on the belt line where most would agree are legal considering the belly-button wasn't showing...that being said, Russell Mora did a di****able job (or lack there of). Another thing that nobody is talking about was the 113-113 card, I don't know how you can find 8 rounds to give agbeko?!?! The fight was close, but not nearly as close to a draw if you factor in the knockdowns legitamate or not

um I think that's because that would be 7 rounds to 5

regular scorecard 115-113 is 7 rounds to 5

deduct two points for the KDs and you have 113-113

Come on Abner...ok the first was a knockdown but the second was without a doubt a low blow! **** the refering in this fight was a complete low blow to boxing!! I hate to see good fights turn into circus! Russel Mora was bought!!

I think in a championship fight, a questionable call should be handled with instant replay. If the ref blows a call and a majority of judges deem it necessary, they throw a red flag into the ring and review the replay between rounds. They have a minute to announce their decision but if more time is needed, so be it. We have the technology. Why not use it to prevent ridiculous decisions like this?

Under public scrutiny, I suppose this would make it more difficult for corrupt judges and refs to do their thang; fcuk 'em.

i saw the fight and had mares wining most of the body blows were on the belt line, some looked like the body blow that khan knocked out judah with right on the belt line where it is legal and lets not overlook adbeko headbutts and rabbit punches that nobody is talkiing about, what about that? in the mares was the better fighter that night.

This guy knows boxing.. People just watch the fight on mute and forget about the Showtime commentators and you will see that a lot of the so called low blows were on the belt line, just like the Punch Khan KO Judah...

That punch was on the belt-line but most of the punches Mares was landing was on the cup. The cup is under the belt-line by a good couple of inches. Mora called that one knock-down at the end of the fight on the belt-line, can anyone explain to me how Mares hitting exactly on the cup is a knock-down or on the belt-line like Mora said?
