I like agbeko to beat mares, both are top notch fighters, in the best division in boxing, to me agbeko is one of the most underrated guys out their,he can brawl with the best of them and has proven in the past that he has some decent boxing skills when he chooses to use them, agbeko's experience in tough fights like this is being over looked, add to the fact that if push comes to shove he will show that he is tougher too, agbeko by close dec, in a war,

Leading up to the original date for Mares/Agbeko, I was ready to go big on Agbeko. Now I'm not sure. Too many questions for me now. One reason I still lean Agbeko a little bit is because Mares has been training like an animal for a long time now. Sometimes that hurts a fighter. He was ready to go a few months ago, then had the letdown of the Agbeko injury, and just kept working.

Agree.

I just bet Smith at +245. That's just too much, IMO. I'm buying that Smith was sick against Tyner. His style is exactly the type that can make Cintron fold mentally.

I put very nice wager on Cintron. A bounce back, "throw him a bone fight" if I've ever seen one. Thinking otherwise is throwing cash out the window, imo.
I like Mares - possibly by stoppage in the mid rounds.

This is more like a "last chance" fight than a "thow him a bone" fight. I'm all over Antwone Smith personally. However Cintron will probably try to fix his greatest weakness - workrate. He's stayed in shape and is now mad at himself. But I like Smith's intelligence and stamina. Smith by close split dec.

The way Mares was able to come on strong after being dropped and soundly out boxed early in the Darchinyan fight showed me a lot about how he'll handle adversity.
Sometimes you have to wait years to find out what type of stones these young guys have. Not the case with Mares. This kid is/will be the future of the division.
