    I was out of touch with civilization, (easy to do in WV, lol) but does anybody remember the odds for ODH vs. Pac?

    That one shocked the **** out of me to be honest. I figured Mijares could have a fair time outboxing him, but the chance for a big shot by Vic would always be possible.

    From what I've read, Vic owned him pretty much from the go?

    Yes, Mijares couldn't predict Vic's punches and this uppercut took away his usual smile and confidence in the very first round.

    Darchinyan's defense was absolutely on top as well as his offence

    And set up the finishing punch very well with an awkward jab

    now tell me, did casamayor look good to you prior to the jmm fight? i want pac to fight casa instead of david diaz coz i know that it is an easier fight and would get much credit since casa is a linear champion at 135. and jmm is the favorite there so no upset. i repeat, jmm would be the favorite against juan diaz while pac would be the slight favorite against hatton in their upcoming match.
