Pac d best don't put down z just because he does not ko his opponents. I know you like ko artists like pavlik and pac but you gotta admire the sweet science a bit you know? He's pinoy too and you still gotta support him too you know. And for real z has all the tools to beat darch add the fact that z is slick and perhaps one of the slickest i saw along with guz and pbf.
My early pick is Darchi by KO with Z winning the cards. Z has the skills but he don't like being hit. But I will be rooting for Z. I respect his skills, he's second only to Penalosa among pinoys. But I also respect Dachi for taking this fight in the Philippines, he's got balls knowing he's fighting a skillful Z in his hometown. This is the best fighting the best in their wt class. The only winner is us, the Boxing fans. May the best man win.
That's why i like him and it's an art for me like bull fighting: don't get hit by the bull's horn especially on the anal side. And you're right we are the winners because of this fight. :good May the best man win indeed and i pray that the best man here is z.
I may be in the minority. But I figure, with Darchinyan trying to walk Gorres down because he feels no threat from Gorres' power, he'll be open to a very accurate counter-punching session. And I wonder, will his eyes or the tissue around it hold up for 12 rounds? I doubt it. Gorres by an eye-cut or eye-shut TKO.
I've seen both boxers fight and it seems Vic has the advantage over Z and that makes him an underdog. I hope Z gorres UPSETS Vic!
"I like the Philippines and its people, the people in the hotel are very nice. I like the place. I intend to return here sometime after the fight, but ... I'm very sorry guys because I'm gonna whip your boy's ass." Doesn't sound cocky to me but very humble who was impressed with the vacation spot in the Philippines. But you didn't read the article.. What do you want him to say, "I am going to kindly put Gorres on the Canvas with my powerful left"?
Darch looked very ordinary in his first fight after Donaire starched him. He fought a fairly non-descript Phillipino guy who was TOUGH - He stopped him, but he wobbled Darch about three times with wild windmill over hand rights when Darch was trying to load up big fight finishing power shots all night. Comparing him to Nas isn't fair - He has better fundamentals than Nas!!!
You're right, that guy was damn tough. Vic was wobbled a couple of times by Catubay but the result never really looked in doubt. I think he'll KO Gorres.
Guys i've seen Z fight live and he's a very very fine boxer... he took montiel to school and theres no doubt he can do that to Vic. One big problem with him though is that he just don't like getting hit... it affects his stamina and his over all confidence and with puncher like Vic that smells trouble.
