Mares in his usual lowblow comedy against Agbeko

Agbeko in California for tricky rematch against Mares

Ghana’s IBF Bantam weight contender Joseph
Agbeko has arrived in California ahead of his
rematch with Abner Mares on December 3.

Agbeko in the company of his head trainer Adama
Addy and assistant Bismark Bruce together with
Attorney, Joe Duva and the Public Relations
Officer of the Don King Promotions, Allan Hooper
arrived in California, Monday, from their New York
base, Ebenezer Noye, Public Relations Officer for
Agbeko confirmed to Myjoyonline.com.

The two, face-off for the second time this year
after the first was controversially awarded in
favour of the Mexican.

Mares was caught many times on camera with a low
blow, and an obvious one in round 11 which ought
not to have escaped the watchful eyes of referee
Russell Mora. But it did.

Mora incidentally awarded two controversial knock
downs against Agbeko.

Pundits mocked at the referee’s decisions on the
night and scoffed at the eventual majority verdict
by the judges who scored the bout 115-111, 115-111
and 113-113 in favour of Mares.

The IBF ordered an immediate rematch which was
scheduled on December 3.

The two have since been preparing eagerly for the
bout.

Joseph Agbeko had been putting finishing touches
to his preparations at his New York base but moved
to California, venue for the bout on Monday.

Ebenezer Noye said Agbeko is in high spirit ahead
of the rematch.

The two boxers are expected to meet on Thursday
for a press conference before their official
weighing ceremony on Friday.

The bout will be on, on Saturday.
