mares had the edge on perez...it was a close high paced fight which many, including panda, thought mares edged even though he took his foot off the gas in the middle rounds
had they fought again a more experienced mares wouldve handled him easily just like agbeko did in his rematch with perez
darchinyan made it a dirty, ugly fight, and still a relatively green mares squeezed out a close but fair decision
agbeko > any opponent on moreno's record (to date)
All I know is when he loses, he's gonna be labeled "exposed". And people will say, well he's not as good as I thought, I overrated him. Just like all it takes is 1-2 good wins for a fighter to become overrated, all it takes is one loss for the fighter to be called exposed. I don't either like or dislike Moreno, I have no opinion of him. I like Mares though. I'd like to see Moreno vs Agebko and I would have liked to see him vs Johnny Perez, who Mares had to fight a total of 3 times[Agbeko twice, Perez 1] and right in between that he fought Vic, all 4 of them in a row.
Beating Agbeko now would be a good win, but IMO Agbeko from 2009-2011 was the best time to fight him cause that was when he was hot. Now coming off two consecutive losses, one close and dirty, and the second one I thought was pretty wide and decisive, he's no longer as hot, but he's still good. Moreno is basically in Bute's place right now, he can fight fighters who were once hot a year or 2 ago and now he can fight them coming off the tourney and every one is fresh off of fighting each other. He can beat up on them while they came off that tough tourney.
