Mijares vs Darchinynan: Article - Mijares speaks briefly.

I would like to see the Darhinyan/Mijares rematch. Even though Mijares was dominated and never in the fight - I like to believe that he would actually try to box in a rematch instead of slugging it out and lunging at the guy that was supposed to be the slugger/brawler.

 

Boxing needs guys like Vic, he's a villain. Likable or not he proved many people wrong and did it in huge way with all that was at stake (unification). He's a cocky little guy with a big mouth but hard to dispute what he says when he backs it up like he did last night.

 

Do you think the outcome of a Mijares vs Darchinyan rematch would be vastly different to last night? I am not saying it won't but I'd seriously expect Vic to do much of the same.

The Donaire fight holds answers to a lot more questions about the two fighters, to me anyway.

 

Coming into this fight I only watches a couple of clips of Mijares and couldn't determine how he would handle the pressure. I also wasn't sure how fast he was or slick. Against Darchinyan he looked slower and less explosive, didn't have good footwork (stayed in range most of the fight), and appeared he didn't offer anything for Vic to be afraid of; like many of the other Vic ko victims. Someone to beat Vic will have to have a good chin and be elusive enough to avoid his left hand bombs (i.e. Donaire).

I think in a rematch the result is the same, with Darchinyan winning. He is too strong and explosive for Mijares. Mijares may do better than the first bout, but I don't see him winning.

 

Honestly? I'd favour Vic 60-40. But 40% is a hell of a chance and I don't believe Mijares was so highly regarded for nothing before the Vic fight.
He should be able to adjust and make it a competitive fight. Even if he can't do that, I'd like to see the fight to make sure. :good

That said, Donaire/Vic would be up for grabs, no doubt about it.

 

Obviously the man deserves a chance to avenge the loss but the fight happened less than twenty-four hours ago. It's the timing that makes the Vic V Nonito fight so much more damn appealing to me.

 

you sound like a true and loyal boxer's fan. Good for you. :good

 

Of course not. To even suggest it would be stupid.

He's obviously a great fighter but that was one hell of a beating he took last night. It, would be one hell of an achievement to turn that result over. Some would say that he merely needs to make a few tweaks and fight his own fight but it may require as much mental effort beforehand as physical effort.

 

Arce is a slower and less powerful guy than Vic, not to mention a more conventional type of brawler than Vic . I think what surprised Mijares was the hand speed and explosiveness of Vic in addition to his ackwardness of how he throws his punches. It seemed he never adjusted and had already got caught in the second round, when he was dropped and it was too late. After tha knock down his mind set changed and he semed afraid of Vic to be honest. Despite his bravado and display of telling Vic to hit him, he seemed afraid of Vic's power.

 

Mijares is a cool guy,great boxer....he will be back.
