Blog by: The Bodysnatcher: Javier Reyes After watching the Yonnhy Perez/Joseph Agbeko fight the first thing that I thought was, I guess Agbeko is not a fan of my blog. If Agbeko was a fan, he would have read my Colombian One Hit Wonders blog from a few months ago and would have known better than to overlook Perez.

to be the number one pound for pound fighter in the sport. On the other hand Perez was just focused on winning the fight and being able to provide for his family back in Colombia. When you have two fighters thinking like this, the fighter that’s overlooking his opponent better make sure he’s the far more skilled of the two, on Saturday night Perez showed that was not the case.

More King Kong

When I saw Agbeko beat Luis Perez in 2007 he reminded me a bit of a miniature James Toney, with the great upper body movement he showed. Perez simply couldn’t touch him on that night. Since then Agbeko has fought with a more reckless abandonment and while he got away with it against Darchynian, he couldn’t do the same against Perez. I know the Showtime crew had the fight close, but I thought Perez won 7-5 and easily could have had it 8-4, add the 10-8 round and I can see why the scores favored Perez so much.

Colombian One Hit Wonder?

I’ve talked in the past about how some of these Colombian punchers manage to upset known fighters only to fail to capitalize on their victories. Perez already has a victory over the well respected Silence Mabuza and now Agbeko, so I’m hoping that Perez is here to stay for a while.

Antonio DeMarco/Jose Alfaro

On the main undercard bout, doing his best Juan Manuel Marquez impersonation Antonio DeMarco was able to slip everything the heavy fisted Jose Alfaro threw at him and give him a good beating. I saw DeMarco’s knock out of Kid Diamond earlier this year and with his latest victory I must say that I’m starting to jump on the bandwagon. DeMarco has good size, good power, and decent speed, if he can continue to fight with a controlled style I think he can compete with anyone at lightweight. With the recent fall of most(if not all) of the Mexican great fighters, is nice to see some young blood.

Random Thoughts:

* I finally got to listen to the heated debate between Floyd Mayweather and RA The Rugged Man. Apparently Floyd also doesn’t read my blog(surprise!) If he did, his debating skills would have improved by now.

* Shaq or no Shaq the Cavs are not going to the finals this year. Lebron needs young help the way Kobe got, not aging lions who are a shell of what they used to be.

* I’m starting to think that, right about now, the Blazers are thinking maybe we should have gone with Durant.

* This is not a joke: Apparently Fernando Vargas is now challenging Camacho Jr to a fight, after hearing this I think I speak for the boxing world when I say this is just sad!

* People might find Miguel Cotto boring, but I seriously think the man is one of the coolest cats in the sport. While some people enjoy watching the flashy Mayweather personality, I find the stone cold all business Cotto personality just as entertaining.

* How awesome is it that your average boxing fan, like me, can have his blogs published by Liverpuncher and put on the front page of their site.
