Darchiniyan VS Mijares Prediction Thread.

This is a pretty exciting match-up. Who are you picking to win and why?

 

tomorrow

 

Sorry but I really don't know.

 

I'm thinking this will be a very exciting fight, and one that is passing by almost without getting the attention it deserves. I think Darchiniyan is very much in this fight.

 

Respected Boxing Writer Graham Houston is picking Darchinyan to pull off the upset. Here I have some quotes for those who don't want to look up the article.

“On Saturday, you’re going to see a different Vic Darchinyan. I won’t try to take him out with just one punch. You’re going to see a much smarter Vic on Saturday night.” Vic Darchinyan

"Mijares has the greater skill in the conventional sense, but he is a fighter who can get hit. He was heavily knocked down in his first bout with Katsushige Kawashima in Japan and he got nailed by quite a lot of left hands from Jose Navarro in their all-southpaw thriller (the fight where one judge incredibly had Mijares losing every round in surely the most aberrant assessment of a boxing match in ring history)." Graham

"Despite the great respect I have for Mijares, I am going to go against the tide here and pick Darchinyan to pull off the upset. I think he will be able to land enough of his thumping left hands to slow down Mijares and then come on with a late charge to snatch a decision victory." Graham

I'm actually going to stick with Mijares since I think he has a great future a head of him and think he'll be able to adjust to whatever Darchinyan brings to the table. But an upset here wouldn't leave me shocked.
