Boxing Competition!
Showtime - ShoBox
Match scheduled:12-12-2010 from 02:00 until 05:00-GMT
At Tacoma, Wash. (Showtime): Tournament semifinals: Vic Darchinyan vs. Abner Mares, 12 rounds, bantamweights; Yonnhy Perez vs. Joseph Agbeko, rematch, 12 rounds, for Perez's IBF bantamweight title; Cesar Seda vs. TBA, 10 rounds, junior bantamweights; Chris Avalos vs. Cecilio Santos, 8 rounds, junior featherweights; Eric Morel vs. TBA, 10 rounds, bantamweights
In the first stage of Showtime's mini-bantamweight tournament, Perez rematches Agbeko in what was a fight of the year candidate in 2009, while Vic takes on the slickest boxer he's faced since losing to Nonito Donaire. In their first matchup, Perez and Agbeko almost certainly would have broken all records for pucnhes thrown, had anyone been keeping track. I decided to count for myself in one round, and I counted Perez throwing nearly 160 punches in that round while Agbeko himself threw over 100. While it's been flying under the radar, this one's another fight of the year candidate. Darchinyan is a boxer/slugger/crabber who moves up in weight to take on the technically sound Mares in a fight that is tough to call on paper.
