Comments Thread For: Mares-Agbeko Rematch Ordered, IBF Purse Bid on 9/15

KUDOS TO THE IBF... the fans are the real winners here and you gotta admit that Agbeko deserves this... lets see if Mares can win without low blows... its gonna be in his head, because you know all eyes and ears are gonna be on his body punching and anything close to a low blow is gonna get scrutinized... in a way this win did horrible things to Mares' career, his low blow tactics will now never be tolerated!!!

can't agree more.

Eric Gomez, Vice President of Golden Boy Promotions, has advised BoxingScene.com that a letter was received from IBF, which orders Abner Mares to schedule an immediate rematch with Joseph Agbeko. The final bout of Showtime's bantamweight tournament took place on Saturday at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Mares won a twelve round majority decision to unify the IBF and WBC silver titles, but it was referee Russell Mora's performance during the fight that overshadowed anything that was accomplished in the ring.

The IBF is starting to be my fav sanctioning body..it looks like they are the only ones that enforced mandatories or they strip the champion, no interims, no super bull**** champions, no silver, diamond crap like the others. One champion per division, the way it's supposed to be.

I've actually been thinking the same thing for a while now. I love that they strip champions for not fighting their mandatories, enforce rematches in controversial matches, and only have one champion per division, etc.... Just like you said: this is the way it should be!!!

hopefully GBP doesn't bribe another ref or bribe the judges next time

[rey guey]

you see Raul Caiz jr or Joe Cortez working the fight, you'll know Golden Boy has bought another ref and the fix is in again.

Caiz, Cortez and Mora are all Golden Boy Gophers

A rematch is the only thing to do. Abner Mares doesn't deserve to be slapped with a no contest, he won the fight. Probably the best thing for both these guy because Donaire destroys either one. Once agbeko got going it was a pretty good fight, let's do it again.

The ibf is loyal.had this been the wbc crooks they prbably would of gotten away with it.agbeko needs to be very aggresive.he had mares a couple of times and let him go.

This time around Abner Mares is gonna be in the ref's radar, so I'm certain we're gonna see a more behaved Abner Mares. This fight is still a 50-50 fight in my opinion.
