He is probably the most overrated fighter right now. Yes, Pavlik lost. But he fought a p4p legend and he didn;t get knocked down. Mijares just got exposed for what he is - a fragile and limited fighter.
I always thought he was a good fighter but got very very overrated on here by a number of posters and was made out to be unbeatable.
This was way worse exposure than Calzaghe-Lacy. Afterall Lacy was still throwing back and trying in round 12. Mijares got his ass kicked, schooled and then he got KTFO.
Mijares fought the wrong fight more than anything. Not like Lacy, he still has skill. But you have to fight the correct fight against a power puncher, and Mijares fought like a dumb ****.
I never used the word overrated when talking about Mijares because I thought and actually still think he is damn good. But I never ever bought into the idea he was some unbeatable machine..He has his flaws but man did Vic ever capitlise on them. Go Vic.
Awesome performance from Vic, funnily enough Mijares was the arrogant **** before and during the fight. Vic let his fists do the talking.
Yeah, cuz all that hype won him multiple world titles and that hype is what won all those previous fights. You guys are ****ing idiots.
Right on. Mijares looked BAD in there, he fought the wrong fight. Jeez he even tried to trade with Vic at times!
Mijares must be the dumbest fighter since Judah. Could he have fought a dumber fight? Is that even possible? Wow - DTJ-Mijares. "Dumber-than-Judah"-Mijares!
Yeah. Just like the hype around Lacy won him a world championship etc. Buhu... Mijaes is the biggest hypejob to be completely exposed since Lacy and he was more thoroughly exposed than Lacy.
