    YES... I give Agbeko better chances to defeat Darchinyan than JMM defeating Floyd...

    He looks scrawny.

    Lighter weight African fighters doesnt seem to have the same punch resistance as their bigger fellow African fighters.

    I give him no chance,Vic will spark him early.He doesnt have any advantages over Vic.

    I think he does have a chance. I'm a Vic fan, but since the Donaire fight I can never feel as confident in his victories anymore.
    I dont know much about Agbeko, but from what I do know he is pretty mean in the ring.

    So yeah, I think he has a real chance.

    A lot of people are pleased with Vic for taking such a dangerous fight (especially after his recent string of very solid competition). But I would also like to give acknowledgement of Agbeko for taking on a very dangerous fighter.

    Yes agbeko is stronger than Vic, and Vic uses his streng a lot, and Agbeko hit hard too, so a ko by Agbeko would not surprise me, still my prediction is Vic UD.

    Very live chance..He is paying $3.00 for the win down here, so Im going to have a look what he is paying for the win by KO and might put a little bit of coin on him to sorta hedge my bets.

    Vic should be firm favorite but there a lot of things that Agbeko does that could see this end in tears for him.

    I think Agbeko takes Darch the distance, wobbles him maybe once.

    Yeah he is a live dog to win. Putting $ on Agbeko is a very good value bet especially at +200, we could see the limit of how far Vic can really carry his power up. All of the fighters Vic fought since the Donaire fight underestimated Vic except a shot Arce, but Agbeko seems to know what is at stake here dont expect him to make the same mistake as they all did. If only he comes forward and brawl with Vic he stands his best chance to win, if he waits looking to counter then good night Joe.

    Regardles of who wins--you probably have to lean towards Darchinyan--this is easily the most potentially action packed fight of the summer. It's sort of slim pickens after this, so we better enjoy it.

    Sure he can I think this fight will be a war FOTY and I picked Vic D by SD. Agbeko is underrated here the guy is tough and won't go down without a fight.

    Agbeko can usually take a punch. He can throw a decent punch as well, and has a high workrate, and is a bit tricky. That said, he throws wide looping punches and Darch's punches are much straighter. He has a chance of winning, especially considering that Vic's chin has been so-so lately, but I'd pretty strongly favor Vic.
