right now that seems to be the case. but then again donaire hasn't really gotten the fights he needs to prove himself. but yea at this point Vic is the better, more proven fighter.
Fighting at 115 would make no difference. Alot of people don't know the fact that Donaire's natural weight is at 115 and the only reason why he moved down was to fight Vic for the title. He's much stronger and faster at 115 and he would beat the **** out of Vic even worse. The Flash has Vic's number.
A good counter-puncher like Donaire will always give him hell. I pick Donaire by UD or TKO if they ever fight again, Vic is simply too reckless.
i feel that darchinyan would dominate montiel and mijares...donaire would struggle just to win to those two...but donaire can KO darchinyan inside 5 rounds again
Donaire easily. I think Nonito's skills are enough to beat the top dogs at 118 except his master....Gerry Penalosa!
I seriously doubt Vic will be as reckless should they meet again, but he will still need a good plan because Nonito has the speed and timing to repeat his last effort. I'd expect Vic to fight as focussed as he was for Mijares and would still have a very good chance of getting the KO. Should it happen my money will be on Vic, I've never bet against him so far, but no surprises if Nonito wins again.
I said he was essentially the same fighter. I didn't say he didn't change or improve. Perhaps he had improved but not enough to deal with the only guy who knocked him out.
Donaire has numerous advantages over Darchi... Donaire has more skills, faster, younger, bigger, more technical, has longer range/reach and more or equal power with Darchi... I think Donaire beats Darchi 9 out of 10...
donaire was the ringside in the penalosa fight. he has already patched up his difference with his dad..he said that he can not wait to expose darchinyan's chin anew
