    Am I the only one that thinks Vic will make short work of "King Kong?"

    I was expecting this to be "am I the only one excited about this" and my answer WAS going to be "HELL NO! :p"

    however..

    what're you calling short work? round?

    Could be a good scrap, but Vic is a beast, and Agbeko really has not fought much at ths level, has he?

    I'm lookin forward to watching boxings version of Charles Manson put the beat down on King Kong!

    Agebeko, exciting and throws a lot of punches BUT he wastes too many and takes too many as well. Vic will take him out with a 3-5 round KO. EASILY.

    Well sure, Sidorenko (his best opponent to date) wasn't much of a chin checker :yep, however, Gonzalez can punch and Perez did knock out Genaro Garcia.

    I don't know... I think I'm going for the upset there. I think Clottey can beat Cotto and Agbeko can beat Darchynian... but I could be all wrong.

    A range would have been acceptable. :lol:

    I meant short as in Lopez-Ponce short? Or just short as in goes less than half the scheduled distance?

    Agbeko's last performance was not impressive at all, although I have never been impressed with Vic's technique either but its very effective.

    I would like to see Vic win, its better for the sport if a character like him continues to win.

    As for the match-up, if Vic's power is the same at 118 as it was at 115, and Agbeko decides to box and not brawl with Vic, he will get eaten alive.

    Im really looking forward to this matchup too, 118 has been very boring lately.

    I think it will be an exciting beatdown and a wide win for Darchinyan, but I don't think Agbeko will get knocked out until the late rounds, if at all.

    Man I just do not follow the little guys that closely. Vic is one that got my attention. From what I've seen of the two fighters in question, I'd expect Vic to take Agbeko out no later than 7-8 rounds.

    This is gonna sound AWFUL but when is this again?

    And I think Darchinyan is on such a hot streak that even considering betting against him would be a false move. Agbeko through my relatively small sample size is no joke though.
