Don't feel bad having it wide, I had it 119-108 Mares. I agree the Bayless scorecard was incomprehensible, he and many other judges should be investigated and fined, and their scorecards thrown out more often.
No analysis needed. Cuellar just wasn't that good. The savage KO of Juanma was the driving factor of his hype, but that was always a silly indicator because Juanma gets stopped like it's his job.
In fairness it was a big win for abner. Cuellar was not stellar but he was huge and powerful and had Freddie roach. such opponents are always dangerous.
Nice win for Mares, some good fights out there for him. I'd really like to see him and Russell next. Cuellar isn't great but he's solid and seems like a big strong guy for 126 while Mares looked to be on the slide and a dvision or two above his best weight. Fortunately Mares seems to have something left and we'll get to see him in some more big fights.
