darchinyan has signified his intentions of fighting donaire but gary shaw doesn't want disloyal people big fights. donaire said he can fight up to 118. who wins in the rematch if the fight happens at 115?
I think Vic has improved significantly after their first fight and Donaire in my opinion was a little disappointing in his last fight. That said, i think the build up wld be great and it's a pick em type of fight. Maybe Vic, as he has revenge on his mind and might want it abit more.
Im gonna give vic the benefit of the doubt and believe he had a bad night. Since his loss Vic has looked as good as ever. Plus in watching more of Donaire's fights, the more i think it was a lucky punch cuz in other fights Donaire looks pretty average
u think so? Every fight i've seen so far Donaire has looked real good. I've never seen him hurt actually or if I have i forgot so it must be really rare..
Common opinion is that Doniare will KO Vic with one punch like he did in their first fight because of Vic's lunging and dropping of his right hand. I beg to differ. This loss vic suffered was the best thing that ever happened to him, it forced him to change his style a bit, and it has shown as he has been dominant since (save of course, for his fight with Z Gorres). He demolished Dmitri Kirolov, he demolished Christian Mijares, and he beat Jorge Arce to a pulp. In short, I think he gives Donaire a tougher fight this time around, and Vic himself has wanted this rematch ever since he lost.
Vic cant outsmart a smarter guy like Donaire with all that playing around and raging bull persona impersonating like he did Arce. V
Bull****. The punch that knocked out Vic was ****ing 1 in 1000 shot. Donaire had perfect pivot going into the hook, all his weight behind it, and Darchinyan was lunging in right at the same time, and it him dead on the chin, perfect precision. I take nothing away from Donaire, he fought a brilliant fight, but to say that he is just going to land another right hook and end the fight is ridiculous. The circumstances of that punch are just too exceptional. Darchinyan since that fight has learned how to throw an excellent whipping right jab, keep his distance, and time is punches. Against Arce, one dimensional he may be, Vic kept him at the end of his punches and actually countered him coming in, snapping him with 1-2 combos and walking him around the ring. His style has changed from rapid stalking and throwing power shots out of an unorthodox stance to that of a boxer puncher that actually uses the ring, times his opponent, and uses precision punching and combinations. The Donaire loss woke Vic up, and he has adapted into a much better fighter since. I expect a rematch to be much more competitive. Darchinyan is not going to be lunging in and head hunting like the first time, leaving himself open to huge counters.
But the fight was a domination in which Vic landed to no effect. Donaire staggered him in the third round too, with the same punch. Luck, it was not. Fights on youtube, go watch it.
