It just shows the board is a joke. Vic has not managed to win a belt at 118 in 3+ tries, right after Moreno he got outboxed by an unknown Japanese. Outslicking blown up Vic won't get you past Donaire. It barely gets you past the likes of Sydorenko and Cermeno, it seems.
Vic's best days were at 112 homies! You thank he gonna break 118 jaws? hell nah! Plus he 36 or sumthin!
I'm liking Moreno chances in this. Donaire will have his moments but I think will fall short against Moreno...Moreno has shown that its hard to hit him flush and I think he will do enough to outpoint Nonito.
Donaire had trouble hitting the smaller Narvaez. He would even more trouble hitting the more elusive Moreno. I would still pick Donaire to win a 7-5 close decision in a fight were he would be made to look bad by Moreno's awkwardness and defensive prowess and afterwards Moreno's stock would rise in defeat while Donaire's would take a hit despite the win. Dont see Donaire taking this fight though, after Nishioka he will probably take an easy fight against someone like Arce who's tailor made for him to look great against before moving up to 126.
I agree with the poll but gotta say I'm shocked to see that Moreno is winning this poll on here. Glad to see he's being recognized as one of the best fighter out there, he's gonna be a p4p fighter soon, his skillset is amazing.
It is official then------*****s hate Donaire. Moreno can barely get past the past his prime, out of his weight zone Darchinyan and he schools Donaire, who can also be a very good fundamental fighter if he chooses.
:thumbsup great assessment. Even though I pick Donaire to beat Mares and Nishiokia, but you're too simple to think about it
Ppl. laughed at me when I suggested a couple of years back Moreno would give Nonito absolute hell. Unfortunately he went from underrated to avoided, which is just as bad.
Sorry what? If Moreno "struggled" with Darchinyan then how would you describe what Mares did against the same version of Vic? Mares had a close fight, Moreno schooled him.
Give me a break. I live in Oz and know This content is protected career very well. I have watch his fights since the FOX sport days, on Friday night fights. I will tell you he was always overrated but dangerous.In terms of skills he was not slick.But when he moved up to 118 he hasn't looked all that beastly to me, homie.Looked like he struggled and was not the BOWSS as he usually was at flyweight, his power is not as it use to be.
Id like to see Donaire flatten him personally , i cant stand Moreno's style This would be a boring tactical affair IMHO
