Agbeko, 31, defeated Yonnhy Perez during his previous fight by a 12 round unanimous decision to capture the IBF belt last December. Prior to that, Agbeko ended up beaten by Perez in any 12 round decision in October 2009. That fight forms regarding got systems interest out from the tourney in the operation, simply because boxing fans had currently noticed each fight and also have been ready for another broad decision win for Perez.
Mares, 25, has received an unsuitable tournament, fighting having a 12 round draw with Perez in May 2010, after which you can winning an awfully debatable 12 round split decision win above Vic Darchinyan in December 2010.
