Did Mijares mentally surrender ?

Vic was lucky, it was the wrong Mijares that showed up.
I think we have overestimated Mijares' capability to absorb
Darchi's power and his capability to defend himself not get hit.
Donaire is no Mijares. I think Donaire will beat Darchi easily like
the first fight.

 

Damn, Vic wins a good fight and now he KO's the man who took him to school in a rematch!??

 

I have been saying that way back when Amsty was hyping his "Gods". They are pretty slick (including Guzzy) but totally lack power and raging bull is pretty much a fighter who intimidates his opponents by basically walking through their punches (which is why the bull is susceptible to fighters who have decent power like Gorres who KDed him and Donaire).

Mijares is good against fighters who do not apply pressure in close quarter fighting like Maldonado. That way, he can counterpunch and could see the other boxer loading up his punches. But against a slugger who has excellent skill in closing gap, he can not avoid getting hit at some point. And Mijares had been down before against lighter fisted fighter than Darchi. He was getting hit because Darchi was so close to Mijares.

 

Did mijares mentally surrender. Well yes he did after he got belted in round 1

 

agreed

 

The fight is over .There are no excuses.Vic was the better man on the night.

 

Its not that he surrendered mentally. Vic just took that strong mentality away from him and Mijares never got it back.

I thought Vic totally demoralized Mijares after that 1st round that Mijares was never gonna get back to the way he was. His approach to this fight was completely different to his approach on his previous fights, and its not because it was a bad gameplan from him or anything like that. Vic just disoriented him so much with that KD in the first round that bad gameplan or not, it didn't matter. I think Mijares didn't expect to get KD'd in the very first round, and that left him shell-shocked and damaged mentally throughout the fight.

Still, props to Mijares for getting up and trying his best to turn the fight around.

 

Therefore...... he mentally surrendered.

 

It doesn't necessarily mean he surrendered, mate. Trying his best to get back to the game mentally is not surrendering. He just couldn't do it. Simple.

Its like trying your best to score 20+pts in a basketball match, but for some reason you just can't reach that 20pt mark. Doesn't mean you mentally surrendered or forfeited the game.

Maybe the opposition also got something to do with it.

 

I was just confronted with something he had never dealt with before. You can theorise all you want about how you will negate a puncher, but when your in there with someone who feels like they have bricks in their hands, you dont do the things you always did because you feel that if you do you are going to be hurt really bad.

 

You guys are a bunch of bafoons if you think that Mijares is so weak mentally that he surrendered right away to Vic Darchinyan.


This fight had absolutely nothing to do with being mentally taken out of the fight.....

.....where in the hell was the panic after Mijares got dropped in the first round?
In fact, what I saw was cool and calmness from Mijares after he got dropped. He took his time to get up, and proceeded with the same plan that he brought into the fight.......Mijares plan from what I saw, was to fight within a box, and duck and slip Vic's shots while he tried to counter them. Its usually Mijares' approach in every fight he's in.
.....the problem was that he could'nt duck and slip Darchinyan's.

Whatever the reason for Mijares not being able to be slippery against Vic, it sure was'nt his mental approach.

.....and Mijares tried everything, which to me showed he was mentally in the fight......lastly resorting to taking it aggressively to Vic to see if he could get him off his rhythm backing him up.



Its just ridiculous to here this tasteless nonsense about Mijares mentally surrendering........give me a freaking break.......

To say that Mijares mentally surrendered is to slap Vic Darchinyan himself in the face and take from his victory, as if he did'nt have to work hard enough in that ring because Mijares mentally surrendered to him.


You all want an example of what mental surrender is?????

MAB vs PAC rematch.......complete and total mental surrender by MAB.

MAB never even tried to make the in ring adjustments to turn the tide of a fight he was loosing handily on the cards......instead, he fought to cross the finish line.

When a fighter fights with the mentality that he cant win, and would prefer to just survive......thats mentally surrendering to a fighter.
Mijares fought his arse off, trying different things to try and turn the tide of the fight around....even going as far as taking the fight to Darchinyan. Thats far from mentally surrendering.

Some of you guys dont know what the hell you're talking about!atsch

 

Crisitian Mijares underrated Vic Darchinynan, as did the Boxing community and the so-called experts. However, Cristian Mijares now has an opportunity to prove how good he is by bouncing back from a devatasting loss like last nights. He ran into an unorthodox style he had never fought before in Vic, and the initial knockdown made it hard for Mijares to gather his composer and box. He used his jab at times, but he should have used it everytime Vic was trying to get set. Why Mijares couldn't get out of the way of Vic's telegraphed punches will forever be a mystery to me.

 

It might depend what you key on and what you notice. You speak of mental surrender and panic as if there is some sort of generic continuity to these things. You can go in and out of panic, in and out of focus. Do you not recall the multiple occasions when Mijares was clearly showing false bravado, waving Darchinyan in, and then freezing up when Vic would explode on him?? What would you call that? It is in fact possible that Mijares was both trying to make adjustments, and having tremendous difficulty psychologically. It is said that boxing is 85%+ mental. It's ALWAYS ****ing mental. ALWAYS. For you to say that the mental aspect isn't a factor here is unbelievably outrageous. You don't get an overtly negative result like that without overwhelming mental fallout.

 

What was so false about that? Mijares was doing that when he'd get cleanly tagged.
.....Mijares could'nt avoid Vic's shots, and if anything, his waving Darchinyan in was a way to psyche himself up after getting hit, and playing a mind game with Darchinyan that his shots were'nt phasing him.
If anything, waving Darchinyan in was a way to wake himself up out of the funk he was in, when nothing else seemed to work.

Mijares is a counterpuncher for God's sake, you want to invite Darchinyan in so that you can have countering opportunities.
