Showtime Bantamweight Tournament: Darchinyan vs. Mares & Perez vs. Agbeko II RBR

Round 10:

Agbeko is still ducking and counter-punching effectively. Perez pressures but is walking into jabs. Agbeko steps in and double hooks, then slithers out of the trenches. Perez is being outlanded by a huge margin, even with Agbeko's sometimes poor punch selection (including big hail mary right hands that miss badly).

10-9 Agbeko

 

Round 11

Perez jabs his way after Agbeko but is getting his head snapped back by the Ghanaian's jab. Agbeko is looping his right hand around and catching Perez with it. Perez is throwing arm punches now, just going through the motions and coming straight forward. Agbeko keeps flying in lateral patterns and throwing jabs and lead uppercuts, with some low-leaning rights to the body mixed in. Agbeko is boxing Perez's ears off, pot-shotting with jabs while turning the Colombian.

10-9 Agbeko

108-101

 

Round 12

Perez is aggressive with jabs and clapping rights, but Agbeko is holding his ground and looking fresh and strong. Agbeko is defending well with his right hand cocked to catch shots and his upper body loosened up to lean away. He calmly flicks out jabs from this stance, and brings a few right hands across like a slingshot into the cheek of Perez. Agbeko is boxing very smoothly and landing his jab at will, with some slapping rights catching Perez on the side and back of the neck. Perez is just wading in with arm punches and not landing very well.

10-9 Agbeko

118-110
