    Absolutely. He must give him a rematch after Saturday.

    To Antonio Tarver: you're right when you said that the ref stole a good fight from us, but missed the point completely when you said "he's not doing the job that he's been paid to do"...on the contrary, he did the job that he'd been paid to do

    Agbeko got screwed over but its better for the sport if we just get Mares to fight Donaire right away so Donaire can move up after he knocks Mares' ass out. Then have the Agbeko versus Mares rematch right after.

    I thought Mares out-boxed Agbeko; however, he low-blowed Agbeko endlessly and I feel like that could have slowed Agbeko down. There were simply far too many unpenalized low blows for that decision to be legit. I can't feel comfortable with that decision standing, there needs to be a rematch to settle things. Not just for Mares and Agbeko, but for the sport as a whole.

    Even though Agbeko didn't deserve the unfairness, I voted no. I rather watch Donaire beat the crap out of Mares which would be worse than Mares still edging Agbeko in a rematch.

    Without the low blows the outcome may have been very different.

    No that fight was as fair as it gets.

    Didnt Agbeko sign to fight both Mora and Mares???

    You got to look at the fine print Agbeko!!!!

    I voted "yes" but I wouldn't be HORRIBLY opposed to watching Mares get his ass whipped at the hands of Donaire either. All things being fair tho, yes they should rematch.

    I've just finished watching the fight, and damn right there should be a rematch. Because when you consider:

    - First KD was a slip, and shouldn't have been scored.
    - Second KD was a lowblow, and shouldn't have been scored.
    - The repeated lowblows should have led to a DQ
    - If not a DQ, the repeated low blows should have given Agbeko at least a couple of 10-8 rounds.

    Agbeko wins that fight easy on my scorecard.

    People defending Mares is just as disgraceful as Mora.
