Abner Mares wins title after repeatedly low blowing champion

Abner Mares took on Joseph Agbeko for The IBF Bantamweight Championship last night. During the fight Mares hit the Agbeko with low blows in just about every round. Referee Russell Mora was blaming Agbeko for pushing Mares head down, which he wasn't doing. In the 11th round The champion again was hit blatantly low, which made Agbeko go down in pain, the referee called it a knock down. Being that the fight was so close the 10-8 round made it almost impossible for the champ to come back unless he scored a knockout. Mares became the new champion. After the fight Russell Mora the referee was asked why he didn't take any points away for the punches under the belt, all he could say was that from his point he thought they were on the belt line. This guy should never be able to referee a title fight again. And as for the belt the IBF should make an immediate rematch, and give Agbeko a real chance to win in the ring, since he didn't have a chance last night.
