Only time will tell hey. Im not saying that Vic is a sure thing cause donaire fukin dominated him in their first fight, but if vic has learned be a little more patient and not come rushing in with his right hand so low, it will be a different fight.
Darchinyan isnt an improved fighter since the Donaire fight, he still has the same weaknesses. Donaire laid out the blueprint to beat Vic you need to push the fight to him and not let him dictate it. Z Gorres knew this and tried to take the fight to Vic, he had Vic on ***** street and won a hand full of rounds but because Gorres doesnt have any power and has poor stamina he couldnt get the W. Kirilov and Mijares fought stupid fights, both were wanting to just counter Vic with that one big shot which allowed Vic to control both fights. Arce tried to box, but had his moments when he let his hands go but after so many wars his body just couldnt take it anymore. Vic is still the same fighter when he fought Donaire, just more accomplished that is all. Donaire will TKO Vic early again.
Donaire didn't completely own him the whole fight. Darchinyan won at least one round before the KO, possibly two. As mentioned, the judges had it even through 4. Anyway, I do think that Darchinyan has been more careful since the Donaire fight. He's not telegraphing his punches nearly as much as he used to. He still leans in the same way, and thus will be prone to getting caught, but I could see this one being a much closer fight. I'm voting for Vic, but mostly to be a contrarian.
Donaire fought Darchiyan in only his 18th pro fight, when he was 24 years old. Now he's had 3 more championship fights, he's 26 year old, and he's better than ever. Darchinyan is 33 years old now, has had 34 pro fights as opposed to being 28-0 when Donaire knocked him out in a dominating performance. I think Darchinyan doesn't really stand a chance.
dont stand a chance?? Vic is a p4p boxer now. His D is still a little reckless but his vastly improved his accuracy and the power is still wicked. I dont know how you can say he doesnt stand a chance. plus since then, Vic probably beat a top 10 techinal fighter in the sport in Mijares, and Arce took that beating like a man. its not like Vic has been fighting cupcakes.
WTF? Vic gets starched again for the simple fact that he holds not a single advantage. Nill. Donaires bigger, longer, faster, stronger and better chin This fight is going to be one of the most lopsided big fight this year if it happens
