As Antonio
Margarito and Miguel Cotto engage in their return bout at Madison Square Garden
in New York on December 3rd on HBO Pay-Per-View, it looks like
another rematch will be taking place on Showtime 3,000 miles away. Apparently, Abner
Mares and Joseph Agbeko will box once again for the IBF bantamweight title, along
with WBA bantamweight beltholder Anselmo Moreno facing Vic Darchinyan at the
Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Geez, not
this again.
"In an
ideal world, I don't think anyone's going to say it's good to go head-to-head,"
said Richard Schaefer (CEO Golden Boy Promotions), who said Showtime simply had no other available dates this late
in the year. "I mean, what could be good about it? But sometimes you have
no other choice. I think Mares and Agbeko is a much anticipated and much
talked-about rematch, which just recently happened. A lot of controversies
there and you could say the same with Cotto and Margarito. I don't want to
knock the fight. We are happy with our fight. It's an action-packed fight card
and I think it will do very well. It will do very well for Showtime and it will
do very well at the gate."
