What about the low blows that were landed when Agbeko did not have the back of his head??Like the one in the 6th and 7th that Mares was slightly warned for..GTFOH this is not something that can be defended..Agbeko was cheated and Mares is a lying lil **** for saying he did not go low...
im tired of people crying about Mares lowblows!

Mexicans want to sweep this under the rug but they ***** constantly about Cotto and are the first to complain about other fighters fouling. Double standards like crazy. How about you man up, admit he did Joe wrong, and stop riding every Mexican you can get your greasy hands on. Mares proved last night that he isn't going to be anything special.Comment

They cry about Tito but cheer 15 low blows as long as the guy is mexican.Mexicans want to sweep this under the rug but they ***** constantly about Cotto and are the first to complain about other fighters fouling.

It's not hard to land that much consistently when you're punching your opponents balls from the get-go, which ultimately saps stamina, makes you drop you hands low to cover em, leaving you susceptible to head shots, makes you fatigued etc.Comment

It's true, you don't let someone dog you. Yes it's a sport and there are rules, and you'd like to play fair, but the #1 rule is protect yourself at all times. It's a fight and your life is on the line, and if someone starts mugging you, do it back. Agbeko's coach is a big part of the problem. Mine would be screaming at the ref in between every round, making sure it was brought to his attention. And if I start holding and hitting, he'd be sure to yell "REF HE'S HOLDING!" as if I wasn't the one initiating the clinch, or "That's right Spiegel, don't let him hold you!" which is something he actually did for one of my brother's fight and sure enough, the ref heard it and warned the other dude for hitting. Basic things like this you learn in the amateurs. When BHop is hitting you in the back of your head during the clinch on the opposite side of the ref, and the opponent finally does it back blatantly out of retaliation, BHop will grab the back of his head while it's being broken up and the ref sees that. People bitch and moan about these tactics, but it's what you have to do when your life is on the line out there, and Agbeko paid the price for not retaliating. That being said nobody should be hit on the cup that frequently and I feel for the guy.Comment

Blatant or not, there wasn't a point deduction when there should have been, at the very minimum, two. I started watching the fight, rooting for Mares. However, as it continued and it was obvious the ref was in there to have Abner win at any cost, I switched sides. This is a highly tainted victory and if any fight in history were to be investigated, this one would be it.i honestly didn't think it was blatant - mares was trying to fight and agbeko wanted to do that ole gay holding/jerking head down ****. mares ain't gonna stop swinging - he's a true mexicano. . . that's what happens when you try to implement dirty tactics - **** backfires. . .
"Low blow # 28"
It was an absolutely disgusting display put on by the ref. I can't fault Mares for not stopping because its the refs job to make sure such tactics cease. But he didn't, he let Mares continue to do what he was doing and it cost a figther his title. Now, even though I don't fault Mares fully, but he just cheapened himself to many real boxing fans.Comment
