He looks to dominate an already aging division but remains ready for the up and coming fighters at 118 that are looking to move up. With the likes of Nonito Donaire, Abner Mares, and Anselmo Moreno looking to possibly move up, Ramos has some real challenges ahead. Assuming that he manages to defeat Rigondeaux, a possible fight with WBC Champion Toshiaki Nishioka may also be in talks. Great things do lie ahead for this rising star. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; "><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(59, 59, 59); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><i>Darren Velasco can be reached at <a href="mailto:darrenvelasco@yahoo.com" style="color: rgb(61, 24, 134); text-decoration: none; ">darrenvelasco@yahoo.com</a> or tweet to/follow <span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/twitter.com/darren_velasco">@Darren_Velasco</a></span> or <span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/twitter.com/boxinghype">@BoxingHype</a></span>.

On Saturday, October 15th, Boxing Hype watched on as IBF and WBC Silver Bantamweight Champion <b>Abner Mares</b>(22-0-1) and former IBF Bantamweight World Champion <b>Joseph Agbeko</b>(28-3) had their first face off for the second time around. Mares and Agbeko meet on December 3rd to truly decide who the Bantamweight belt belongs to.<br />
<br />
After a controversial Majority Decision win by Mares in August, Agbeko, his camp, as well as upset fans all over the world demanded an immediate rematch for what was considered to be one of the worst officiated fights that the sport of boxing has produced. The fight on December 3rd at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California will not only be a redemption fight for Joseph "King Kong" Agbeko but a chance for boxing to redeem its recent history of poor officiating and unruly decisions.<br />

<br />
"It was definitely obvious that I won the last fight," said <b>Agbeko</b>. "Talk is cheap, I can say whatever I want to say today, but I will get into that ring to do my job."<br />
<span id="goog_1267070955"></span><span id="goog_1267070956"></span><br />
<br />
Champion <b>Abner Mares </b>did not leave the press conference without giving <b>BoxingHype</b> a prediction of his own.<br />
<br />
"I'm always ready for twelve rounds but this time is going to be different. I'm going in there for a knockout."<br />
<br />
When asked about his controversial win, <b>Mares</b> fired back at <b>BoxingHype</b> by saying, "If you watch the fight over again, put it on mute, you can see how I beat him." <b>Mares </b>continued on by pointing at his belts, "It proves it, I got the belts, and I will beat him again."<br />
<br />
Joseph Agbeko and Abner Mares are both ready for war to determine where the belt rightfully belongs. Agbeko plans to bring his usual aggressive arsenal in hopes that Mares stays away from his recent submarine warfare tactics. The battlefield is set and both fighters look to clear the smoke of controversy that surrounded the first fight.<br />

Along with a promising undercard, the entire Pay-Per-View does not look to disappoint. Hopkins comes into the fight with a 17 year age disadvantage granting him, by what many consider, to be the slight underdog coming into the fight. With Dawson's quickness, southpaw stance, and age advantage, Hopkins is looking to use his experience and ring generalship to prevent a "Bad" finish.<br /><br />Look for Dawson to take a subtle early advantage in the fight as the older Hopkins takes his time to figure out his opponent. Hopkins' typical early round defensive maneuvers usually lead to him picking it up midway through the fight and essentially winning the cards late. Although it proved successful against Pascal in his most recent fight, expect Hopkins' age to limit this typical occurrence from happening tomorrow.<br /><br />This will be a clear chess match since both fighters are accustomed to hearing the final bell. Unfortunately some chess matches may be considered more exciting than this Saturday's championship bout. It has been 4 years since either fighter has lifted their hands in victory because of a ten count of referee wave off so do not expect fireworks. Hopkins' most recent knockout took place 12 fights ago in 2004, while Dawson barely edges out the post-prime champion with his most recent knockout being 7 fights ago in 2007.<br /><br />The two main keys that will decide this fight are simply Hopkins' age and Dawson's stance. Believe It Or Not, these factors can go either way. Hopkins will either live up to his Executioner name for the last time and silently inject his opponent through the scorecards since he can no longer rely on his former firing squad execution methods, or his chronologically tested physique may crumble as many expect it to against the younger fighter. Dawson is a southpaw and this stance will surprisingly come at a disadvantage for him. Hopkins most recent defeat came from the hands of another left-handed warrior Joe Calzaghe but putting Dawson in the same kingdom as the Pride of Wales is ludicrous and an injustice to the former champion. Hopkins has defeated 9 out of the 10 southpaws he has faced in his career with the exception of Calzaghe. The sensational right hand crosses and leads from Hopkins will dictate the fight, clinch the Executioner's bid for fighter of the year, and be an almost perfect ending for the 46 year old champion.<br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Bottom Line: </span></b><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Bernard Hopkins, Unanimous Decision</i></span><br /><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></u><br /><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Predictions for the Undercard:</span></u><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Paulie Malignaggi(29-4) vs Orlando Lora(28-1-1)</span></b><br /><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">With Lora's most recent fights being an eight-round unanimous decision, a six-round fight with a second-round TKO, and a technical decision loss, I think I might have a better chance at beating Paulie Malignaggi.

Linares' only defeat came from a first round knockout by Juan Carlos Salgado, a power puncher from Mexico. This leaves Linares' jaw in question against a slugger like Demarco. Demarco comes in with a brutal loss from the late Edwin Valero, another Venezuelan from Tokyo, and a sixth-round majority decision in only his ninth fight as a pro. Linares comes in as a huge favorite but will come out with an even bigger upset loss. A puncher's chance will give Demarco a late stoppage in what will be the fight of the night on this extraordinary fight card. </span><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Bottom Line: </span></b></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Antonio Demarco, TKO 9 </i></span><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Danny Garcia(21-0) vs Kendall Holt(27-4) </span></b></div><div class="p1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Although Holt only has 15 knockouts under his belt expect one or two knockdowns from the New Jersey native.
