Abner Mares vs. Joseph Agbeko
Forget about Haye vs. Klitscko, forget about Pacuiao vs. Mosley, forget about ever fight you wish could happen.
Mares vs. Agbeko is the fight you want to watch. Mares and Agbeko “fight of the year” It very well could be. This fight will be an epic bout between two outstanding Boxers
Abner Mares 21-0-1 vs. Joseph Agbeko 28-2-0 April 23rd live on Showtime.
This fight is the championship fight of Showtimes Bantamweight Tournament and for the IBF and WBC bantamweight title’s, Also on this night we will see Yonnhy Perez vs. Vic Darchinyan
This is the perfect match-up, both fighters have fought and beat Vic Darchinyan, both have fought and in most eyes both won against Yonnhy Perez, Mares was given a draw in his bout with Perez. This bout is just what boxing fans need. The winner will most certainly go on to fight Nonito Donaire. but lets not get ahead of the game.
“Tale of the Tape”
Mares 21-0-1 Agbeko 28-2-0
Age: 24 30
Height: 5’5″ 5’5″ 1/2
Reach: 68 inch 65 1/2 inch
RD’s boxed: 145 162
Knockouts: 13 22
Ring Ranking: #4 #3
Donaire is the best bantamweight out there, now, But Mares and Agbeko will surely have their names up there with his, if this fight planes out like its expected to. 12 rounds of of excitment,12 rounds of boxing at its best. Agbeko has the stronger chin of the two, but Mares has the speed.
Both fighters throw a tune of punches. This is one of the most even fights on paper and in ring generalship we have seen in a long time.
I have to go with youth and speed on this one, after watching Mares battle Perez and Darchinyan, (even thought Agbeko did the same) I think he can pull out a win in this fight with his amazing hand speed. Agebko has the power to put Mares down, but as we have seen before, Mares has the heart to get back up and win.
Mares was down and hurt against Darchinyan, Mares got back on his game and returned the favor and dropped Darchinyan late in the fight, and won by SD. paving the way for this fight with Agbeko.
Agbeko fought Yonny Perez in the first round of the tournament, a rematch of the epic fight they had a year earlier, this time Agbeko beat Perez in just about every round, leaving no dout this time around that he was the winner.
Abner Mares has had issue’s with his trainers in the past. Agbeko is an unorthodox fighter just like Darchinyan, who gave Mares problems early in their fight. Mares was able to adapt. and land some great punches on Darchinyan. But Agbeko is younger and faster then Darchinyan. Can Mares adapt to Agbeko’s style, or will Mares set the pace. either way this is one fight, we should not miss!!
