Comments Thread For: Cedric Agnew Bounces Back With TKO Win in Houston

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Cedric Agnew (27-1, 14KOs) came back from his seventh-round KO loss to Sergei Kovalev with a first round TKO victory over Shannon Miller (25-52-8, 18 KOs) at the Houston Athletic Fencing Center. Curiously enough, Agnew, a southpaw, ended the bout with a mirror punch that felled him for the full count against Kovalev.

In the final seconds of the opening round, Agnew, 31, exploded with a bone-crushing right hook to the ribcage that dropped Miller in agony. Miller beat the count but failed to come off his stool for the second round.

25-52? That's not bad, I guess. Coulda been 17-52. Quality win for Agnew.

LOL. Still - it was a TBA. At least the kid's got back in the saddle fast enough and KO1 is about as conclusive as it gets.

I actually think Agnew is pretty good based on what I saw in the Kovalev fight and could give real problems to many in the upper reaches of the division. Expect to see more of him.

[BattleAxePurist]

Agnew is a barometer type fighter in a thin division expect him to be matched against someone trying to make a name gain experience.

Savarese Promotions has a guy Medzhid Bektemirov who fights at LHW but he's still pretty raw in a couple years could contend.

Agnew looked like he had the goods, he just ran into a cold blooded killer in Kovalev. Glad to see him back in the winners bracket.

LOL. Come on man. He just got flat out destoyed a couple months ago.

I wouldn't mind Agnew vs. Fonfara or the winner of Williams/Campillo next.

What I'm interested in.

Fonfara.... I think he's saving himself for Kovalev

Yeah, I was thinking of the Campillo - Williams winner too. In fact even if Williams loses I think it'd be decent fight.

Both guys are at about the same level of development, though I think Agnew may be the more skilled fighter - it'd be good to see two promising prospects square off.

I agree. Matter of fact I wouldn't be upset if one of the big networks or even NBC set up Agnew vs. Fonfara on an undercard

[The Hammer]

It's good for Cedric Agnew to come back so soon after his loss and get back to winning ways, even if the opponent wasn't very good.

Some fighters take a year off after a stoppage loss, but I think it's better for them to come back sooner and have a confidence-building warm-up fight.
