Mares: 117 lbs.
Agbeko: 117 lbs.
PREDICTION: Their first bout was a good scrap that turned into a travesty courtesy of a horrid referee. Agbeko is the older fighter and you never know when it will catch up with him. Mares has a high-paced style and it clearly had Agbeko out of sorts early on. This is a toss-up, but I’m going with Agbeko by close decision mainly because I think the late rounds of the fight fight showed him how to box Mares, and the Ghanaian fighter has shown he can make great adjustments for return bouts (Yhonny Perez rematch).
Moreno: 118 lbs.
Darchinyan: 117 lbs.
PREDICTION: Moreno is a good, discplined whose advantages in height and reach will give Darchinyan some problems. Hoever, Darchinyan looked great balancing his brawling and boxing abilities in April against Yhonny Perez. Darchinyan handspeed and footspeed are better than Moreno even at 35, so he’ll be able to close the gap and force exchanges where Darchinyan’s power will be the difference. Moreno tastes the canvas at least once and loses a unanimous decision.
