    Kittikassem didn't have a good chin, but by the time he was dethroned by arbachakov, he had become a solid cagey boxer-puncher...though not one who really possessed many oustanding attributes.

    He did have a very big punch in either hand though, which with his better skills should get the win for him, though he may have to survive some rocky moments of his own.

    Would he be able to land enough to wear him down though?.Vic doesn't have the accuracy or technique of Carbajal and Arbachakov.

    Kittikassem has the better chance at a sudden knockout imo.He was a viscious puncher as well.

    I was gonna mention that Kittikasum definitly had a chance of scoring a ko himself in this one. I just think that Darchinyan would have overpowered Kittikasem in this one, but i would bet that much money on it id put the odds at around 8 to 5 for Vic.

    Was Kittikasems chin really that bad or was it more a case of extreme weight draining?

    I actually thought he showed a pretty good beard against Carbajal. Sure, he got knocked down several times, but Carbajal hit as hard as anyone has at Light Flyweight, and he kept getting up. He went on to improve anyway, but I don't see Vic winning based purely on his power. Kit could hit himself and has decent fundamentals.

    Yeah, his chin wasn't glass by any means, but i saw him hurt too often to say it was good either.

    Darchinyan would most likely have to wear him down with multiple knockdowns if he was to win.

    Vic wins. I think Vic is a modern ATG at flyweight.

    Why not? He hits several levels above his weight class., Only lost once at fly, and has a good record in title fights.

    Sure he's not the most skilled, but neither was Galaxy.
