Did Darchinyan's trainers scouted Donaire properly?

    I just saw Donaire-Harutyunyan fight in youtube and Donaire threw the exact punch that KOed Darchinyan in round 2 that KDed Harutyunyan.

    I am just wondering because it seems that this punch is a bread and butter punch of Donaire and if it was properly trained for, the KO could have been averted.

    here is the link:

    please watch this clip because it is really the same left hook with similar results.

    i think it's clear that they did not. i for one thought that nonito would not be a threat to vic. even vic's website showed that he was a bit too confident coming into the match as he said he'll "proove" (that's a direct quote) that donaire is just a ballet dancer. and he paid dearly for it

    It seems Darchinyan clearly figured out Donaire's killer punch at the locker room--right after the fight.. ;)

    my apologies. I gave the lnk to the donaire - darchi fight instead of theDanaire-Harutyunyan fight. Corrected it already. The punch that KD harutyunyan is a carbon copy of the left hook that KOed Darchi.

    The funny thing is that I sometimes hear the announcers say darchinyan instead of Harutyunyan. Am I getting deaf bcause I swear I am hearing Darchinyan instead of Harutyunyan sometimes.

    The fundamntals were the same. A half-step backward then a short counter left hook.

    Absolutely, it's just that the result was nicer.......I mean that dickhead Darchinyan was chewing the canvas.

    They probably did, its just that Vic didnt listen to his coach and trainers. Too confident. He might change his tactics from now on, hope he learns from that.
