    Fair enough, not going to argue with that, completely withing the realms of possibility.

    But what Doc said is utter bull****.

    I favor Agbeko's ability to show different looks in the ring. I believe
    UD King Kong, but should be a great fight either way.

    I'll stop crying when you explain to me the logic behind it.

    No? Alright then.

    Continue to make ridiculous, ludicrously off-base statements without backing them up :good

    WTF?Stop with the crying man, ****....

    Off Base?

    Dude it's gonna happen, Mares UD or TKO...

    Styles IMO favor Mares, and I believe he is the superior fighter. The akward style of kong will not work on Mares.. It's my opinon if you can't handle others opinon go lock yourself in a room and leave the forum you little cry baby.

    :lol: @ the cry-baby stuff.

    You made a dumb statement, and it was dumb. Why would Mares be massively favoured in this fight? Agbeko has done significantly better against common opponents and is the defending champion. Mares has his advantages but regardless of who you think will win, it's a 50/50 on paper and nothing else.

    Fair enough if you think Mares will win, but the statement you made was wrong nonetheless.

    You're funny Doc, but you're also pretty inept and until you explain to me how Mares should be massively favoured in this fight without acting like a child, I'll continue to correct you :good

    Agree to disagree.

    60/40 Mares. UD or TKO... My opinion though and you have yours.. That's is who I got... :hi:

    Struggling to find alternative words to the same effect of... 'fair enough'.

    I agree with proboxing-fans.com take on this, I can't wait its gonna be a war:

    It’s difficult to remember either man in a bad fight. Combine that with the super-sized stakes and it seems reasonable to expect a night of fireworks between these two excellent and world-class bantamweights. Analyzing common opponents can be misleading, but their respective performances against Yonnhy Perez and Vic Darchinyan might be telling. In Agbeko’s victories against those fighters, he was far more convincing than Mares. Whereas Agbeko won two clear decisions, Mares struggled with a draw and split decision win. The first Agbeko-Perez fight, however, shows how badly Agbeko depreciates when not in the proper frame of mind. Don’t expect the lesser version of Agbeko to surface here.
    Mares will have the faster hands and probably throw more punches. Agbeko will be bit more selective, but will be hitting with greater authority. When Mares is allowed to do his thing, he boxes beautifully. Agbeko, however, will be doing some things to offset the effectiveness of Mares. The Agbeko jab will keep Mares from establishing a rhythm. Those few other clever wrinkles that Agbeko throws into the mix will have Mares a bit uncomfortable—the confusing upper-body movement, the suddenly-thrown shots, and the mixing up of punch variety and velocity.
    Mares will put some rounds into the bag, but by the middle of the fight, Agbeko will be zeroing in on Mares. His heavier punches will begin making an impact. Mares will do his best to keep it together, but will become increasingly ragged as “King Kong” warms to the task. I see the last 4 rounds being awfully tough on Mares. There is a chance that Mares will be able to dig in and taking a late round or two to make it close. But I see Agbeko not losing the momentum and punishing Mares late to take a clear unanimous decision.
    Prediction: Joseph Agbeko wins the Showtime Bantamweight Tournament with a unanimous decision over Abner Mares.
