1 loss and Mundine overtakes Vic on the Aussie P4P list? You're kidding aren't you? Mundine's had 3 losses - how can he be rated above Vic? Vic had also unified 2 real belts - Mundine doesn't even have 1 right now.
Yeah Vic doesn't drop down that far imo. What happens if he won a rematch in 3 months time? There's no way you can drop that much after getting beat defending ur 2 world title belts. If he suffers another loss straight away then an argument can be made.
After being fairly domainated for 5 rounds and then brutally stopped, Mundine's certainly Australia's no. 1 p4p fighter at the moment. To think differently... atsch I suppose would be expected.. :bbb
Fairly dominated? 2 of the 3 judges had both fighters winning 2 rounds each up untiol the point of stoppage.
Yea I know, that's why I said fairly (one judge also had it 4-0). I had it 3-1 personally. And the momentum was clearly with Donaire throughout the entire fight. I much prefer clean effective punching over coming forward and throwing hard punches (where most don't land)... Not an attack on Vic at all, but it wasn't exactly hard word for Nonito. Not easy either.
Thats a pretty fair analysis. I wasn't that surprised that Donaire was edging the fight. I just thought that Vic's power would take it's toll on Donaire in the later rounds. unfortunately the fight didn't get that far.
That's why I wouldn't rule Vic out in a rematch. If Vic was even on 2 judges cards when Donaire seemingly had a slight edge, then later in the fight when Vic's hard punches would have to be doing a bit of damage (cause he punches like a damn mule), I reckon Vic could take a decision or possible later stoppage (wouldn't really be able to judge Nonito's chin at the moment, to be honest)... All in all, there's a few times (namely the Pacheo and Nonito fights) that leave me with the opinion that Vic's style is open to being "outboxed" by a more technical fighter (just as long as that fighter can take his punches)... Donaire was the first to get to him, but I reckon Vic could turn that. Even so, I think it won't be the first time it happens to him (losing, not being KO'ed like that). With that said, I also think Vic will re-win a world title too! (If given the chance, can't see many champions WANTING to fight him, if they don't have to)... But back on topic, your really only as good as your last fight. And based on that, Mundine is certainly no. 1 p4p in Aussie at the moment... IMO, I spose.
I'd agree with a lot of that. Donaire mentioned how after seeing the Gabbi fight, it gave him hope. I remember seeing this fight and he was making life hard for Vic, but Vic's power came into play during the mid rounds. Hopefully Vic can get back into the mix of things relatively soon.
WTF Oganov at 5? whats he ever done, he has never even sniffed the ass of a world champ let alone been or fought one and he's above Ndou and Vic?.....then again this is a Mundine huggers list so there goes any logic :deal
This bloke's named a list of boxers he's only heard of - emphasised by his post script comment at the bottom, rattling off more names of Aussie boxers :roll:
In all honesty I still beleive Vic deserves to be ranked no 1. It was a bad loss, but as pointed out it is his first. I'd rank him no 1 and wait to see how he returns. 1. Glasschinian 2. Mundine 3. Peden 4. Briggs 5. Egor Smith I recon Vics next fight should be against Hussy on the undercard to Briggs v Green. That would sell OK I recon. The other fight on that card should be Hamden v Taylor.
What, 3 years ago? In 3 years, Vic's KO loss won't be that detrimental to his p4p standing. :hey As I said, your only as good as our last fight. :good
Only just 2 years ago actually, and we're talking current Aussie P4P, not 3 years in the future Aussie P4P. What has Mundine done in that 2 years to be considered so close to Vic in the Aussie P4P ratings?
