Really sad to see Vic cop a KO like he did. Donaire exposed how poor his defence really is, but I still believed Vic would've got the better of Donaire had Vic lasted a couple more rounds. Back to the drawing board for Darchinyan .... or as the Greenwood Tavern called him ... Darchingar:rofl I know what I'll be buying Vic for Christmas ... dancing shoes ...
In this case it was leaning to far forward with the right and not bringing it back in time (and to the head/jaw) that got him into trouble.
Being knocked out by that punch shouldn't play to Vic's confidence negatively too much. Atleast he wasnt KO'ed by a soft one or something... it was a tremendous ****ing shot! Hopefully like Tszyu, Vic will learn from this loss and bounce back stronger. Donaire looked great and made upset of the year. Nice work!!!
It will be a test of Vics gumption from here. The comebacks are a good test. He was reaching the over rated stage in my view.
"In this case it was leaning to far forward with the right and not bringing it back in time (and to the head/jaw) that got him into trouble." I Dont think so, he lead from the outside with the uppercut,poping his head up .Have a look at the clip.
They are saying Vic wasnt very gracious in defeat. Any truth to this those who actually watched it? Does Vic have a questionable chin?
Hard to say, he literally headbutted that left hook with his jaw. His chin was up in the air and he was comming forward, he didn't just take it flush his momentum gave that punch extra pop. He might have been a bit out of it for the interview though, but then again Vics always been a big talker so who knows?
yeah, I think his fights up until today have been too easy for him, and he became complacent and thought every fight would be that easy. A good wake up call for him, let's see how he bounces back from it.
He was still out of it during the interview. They asked him if he was hurt and he said No, then he even said he didn'g get knocked down. I hope Vic comes back all the better after this.
Didn't he want to fight Rafael Marquez, Isreal Vasquez. Nah, they would KO him.Vasquez dropped him in sparring emagine if they fought withought headgears.
Vic may have been complacent but it was always bound to happen cause his defense needs improving. It's not the first or the last time he will get KO'd
