    What they say...

    "
    "I can't get enough of Mexican fighters. They bounce real good off the canvas when I hit them. "Let's see, I've stopped Cristian Mijares, Victor Burgos and Luis Maldonado over the past two years. Unlike Jorge Arce, those three fighters were very tough hombres.. Defeating Arce won't take much training. It won't even be a fight for me --more like pest control..
    I'm going to swat that Spanish Fly. How do you take a guy like Arce seriously? He sucks on lollipops and wears a cowboy hat from a toy store. He looks like "Woody" from the movie "Toy Story." I can picture him running around his house on a broom pretending he's riding a horse. He's a regular Schlepalong Cassidy. When I finally meet him at the press conference do I say "Hola Jorge" or "Howdy, Doody?" Arce is going to be my human piñata. Our fight will be like a Chihuahua against a bull...a raging bull!"
    - Vic Darchinyan

    "“I’ve been watching his videos. He’s just a one-handed fighter. All he has is the left hand. He’s fast and he’s strong, but once you take the left hand away he’s done. Nonito Donaire proved that. He can also be knocked out in one punch. But not me. I’m not moving up in weight. I’m moving down. “He is a lefty, but he is not one of those cuties. He’s a real aggressive guy. I think that he will be fight in front of me and that will work perfect for me. I think my left hook is my best weapon. I think I will land my left before he does, and that will be the difference. I will knock him out. I don’t see this fight going 12 rounds. I see it as a knockout. If he knocks me down once I’m going to get back up. He’s going to have to throw a lot of punches to knock me out. He’s in for a long night. I’m looking forward to this fight. I know people in Mexico are sad that (Antonio) Margarito lost and I’m going to bring a big win for them.’’ - Jorge Arce

    I voted for VIC "The Raging Crab" DARCHINYAN KO
    I've never seen Arce fight though which doesn't help....i've seen Vic only in his last two so going on those...
    He's unpredictable and powerful ,Arce has his work cut out.

    I don't like Darchinyan, and I really hope Arce wins, but as a realist, I can't see it going any other way than a Vic TKO.

    Arce's best days are behind him, and he's going to try and stand right in front of Darchinyan and trade, which is a mistake.

    Darchinyan by stoppage.

    Arce doesn't have a lot left, and stylewise is pretty good for Darch.

    Darchinyan TKO.

    Arce is too far past it, while Darchinyan is arguably in or close to his prime. Can't see this lasting past mid rounds. Not sure why the match was made tbh. Some more competitive fights out there for Vic.

    It's nothing to do with that, I'd call anybody out on admitting they have never seen the other guy fight whilst making a prediction. What sort of utter bull**** is that?

    Nevermind...the videos are there now.
