Abner Mares, left, took his share of abuse from Joseph Agbeko but always seemed to end each exchange by landing the final punch, reestablishing control of the bout.
Vindication for IBF bantamweight titleholder Abner Mares was unanimous in a dominating win over former champion Joseph “King Kong” Agbeko on Saturday in front of 4,000 fans.
Last summer Mares won a close and much disputed decision over Ghana’s Agbeko at the Honda Center that was marred by missed low blows, missed head holding tactics by Agbeko. All was erased by the quicker and more precise head-hunting Mares.
Low blows were not an issue in this fight.
