Roumd 9 Both fighters fighting in the middle of the ring. Both landing almost at will. Mares landing the harder punches. Good body shot by Moreno! Mares unfazed. Great left hand by Moreno. Good round for Moreno.
Round 10 Mares has slowed down a bit. Jab, jab by Moreno. Mares swinging blows and missing. Mares gets Moreno to the rope. Ref stops the actio to talk to the fighters? Moreno unloading his punches. Good punch by Mares! Moreno looks a bit hurt. Just 5 seconds remaining and Moreno nails Mares who seemed about to touch the canvas with his glove. Moreno goes for the kill. Bell stops the action.
Round 10 WTF???? Ref takes point from Moreno?????Mares lands low blow, ref ignores it. Moreno flat footed throwing bombs. Mares unfazed, but Moreno is connecting more. Mares is hurt!!! Damn bell!! FUCK THE REF!!!
Round 12 Mares chasing Moreno who goes on a marathon around the ring. Good punch by Moreno. Hard right hand by Mares. Another low blow by Mares. Moreno more effective in his punches. Fighters clinching by the end of the round.
Abner Mares wins the bout by unanimous decision. Can't wait for DeLa Cruz to fight him next. Mares is tailor made for Dela Cruz.
Mares is the most protected, cheating little cunt in boxing. DAMN, his fights fucking piss me off, I remember being so angry during and after the first Agbeko fight too. What's with this fucking guy, with the most bought out refs, and the most bought out scores in boxing. I don't get it, is he part of the mafia or something? Even other Goldie Locks fighters don't get anywhere near this absurd level of corruption.
I gotta say. I really hate Lara. Guy is sloppy as shit and is NOT entertaining. I don't care if he "beat" Paul Williams or not. Yes, Mares fights are sometimes fun, but he's really easy to hate to. Guy gets away with more stuff then anybody. Some guys are dirty but a little subtle about it. Mares doesn't care if the referee is looking right at him, and he rarely gets docked for it. Nice to see Angulo (the guy with the most demeaning nickname and schtick in boxing), get out of the detention center and knock that scrub cold.
I thought Cleverly looked very impressive. Not sure if I've seen him before, but I don't think so. He was up against a punching bag, but he looked to have superb punch selection, volume, and stamina. Reminded me of Calz, but also of Oosthuizen. He puts more on his shots than either of those two, though, but doesn't seem to hit as hard as Joe could.
Cleverly has an action packed style, but he tries too hard. If he thought more when he launches his attacks I think it would benefit him especially against better opposition because he did miss a shit load against Hawk.
