Sounds like he got beaten pretty convincingly too. I reckon he will have to 1) move up in weight 2) change his style a bit
Big KO. Came out of nowhere too. The fight was going along like a bit of a chess match (not a real pain inflicting point for Vic's standards anyway) and was fairly evenly poised, then Vic gets suckered in and eats a left that sends him down. He gets back up at 9, then falls into the ropes.
No opposite. This fight proved that he shouldnt move up in weight. Primarily because size will play a big part. Vic has mainly knocked out opponents his size and smaller.
Apparently they said (before the fight) that he'd definitely be going up in weight. Perhaps this loss brings him and Arce on level terms now. Wonder if there will be noise for these two to get it on. Vic always wanted the fight, but Arce wanted none of Vic. Maybe Arce might fancy his chances after todays fight. If they do get it on after both coming off a loss, it will kinda be like the whole Mundine/Green thing. At one point in time, Green was supposed to beat Beyer, and Mundine wasn't supposed to lose to Siaca and the fight was meant to be a unification fight. A Darchinyan/Arce fight now would be a pretty similar scenario.
He was too cocky and walked into a perfect left hook. I had the fight even up until that point. He'll learn more from this than he would if he just beat up another victim. He has had this coming for a while but I didn't think Nonito had what it took, he proved a lot of people wrong.
Only problem I see here is that this KO has really dented Vics pride. Im dreading Mundinesque repercussions here in terms of fighting on the back foot. Vic is now aware that he is not invincible (much like choc found out against sven) and may not maintain his all-out aggressive style.
He needed to tone it down and fight with a little more respect for his opponents. In his last few bouts he was just walking down his opponents doing what he pleased without any fear at all.
Quite reminiscent of RJJ's KO loss to Tarver. Both came in with a punch and missed, both got tagged by massive lefts, and both attempts to beat the count were quite similar as well.
