Jospeh Agbeko decisions Vic Darchinyan to retain title

Jospeh Agbeko, from the Bronx, via Ghana, decisioned Vic Darchinyan on Showtime tonight to retain the IBF bantamweight title. Darchinyan was making a bid to win a third world title in a third weight class.

The fight was awkward and ugly, which can describe many Darchinyan fights, but this one lacked the sustained action and drama of a really good fight. Instead of a Budweiser logo in center ring, there was an image of Michael Jackson, a tribute from promoter Don King. Oh yeah, Agbeko entered the ring with a white, sequined glove over his left boxing glove, another nod to the pop icon.

From the vantage point of this corner, the fight may have been doomed from the start. We gathered at casa de Richie from Levittown. In the room was IBC, Bruno (who once sparred with IBC) and Frank, a descendant of Battling Sanchez.

The boxing talk was good and the food was even better. As a warm up, Richie from Levittown played the following fights -- Carlos Zarate vs. Alfonso Zamora, Salvador Sanchez vs. Wilfredo Gomez and Roberto Duran vs. Iran Barkley.

With that kind of undercard, how could the Agbeko-Darchinyan fight be any good?

It wasn't. They tried hard enough. But Darchinyan - cut over both eyes -- looked like an amateur and Agbeko was all angles and arms.

People will probably talk about the controversial knockdown and the clash of heads. But inside our room, when the 12th round ended, and Bruno asked, "Who won?"

IBC answered, "Who cares."

Perhaps the most interesting quote came from Darchinyan, who said, "He's not better than me but he was today."

The officials scores were 114-113 (twice) and 116-111, all for Agbeko. The winner improved to 27-1 and Darchinyan is now 32-2.-- CASSIDY
