I still think Donaire has Darchinyan's number so I went with him. But Vic has definitely gone up against much much better competition since they last met so I expect it to be a much closer fight this time around based on the better experience Vic has been getting.
i've seen darchinyan's fight after the donaire, he still moves the same way and i think he'll get iced again
The raging bull has been busy and was destroying his opponents since they last fought (except when Darch lost in his attempt to climb another division). Donaire wasnt so lucky, he's been having troubles finding worthy opponents, nevertheless, he's had a good streak. No matter how i spin it, i dont think Darch improved that much, he still leaves himself open when he's caught in that "i will KO you now" moment. And Donaire is as fast as **** and will capitalize on that, i guess Nonito just feel more at ease with Vics style. Nonito by 8th rd KO, or UD
Darch will still be the same dude infront of Donaire, his style always been similar after they fought. I believe the outcome would be more embarrassing for the Raging Bull if they face again.
While Darchinyan has the vastly better career up to this point (much older, of course), Donaire is every kind of wrong for him. I'm pulling for Vic but Nonito is a very talented, adaptable, intuitive fighter. Vic's been bat**** obsessive about this fight for how long now? The raging bull will probably rage at him again when he gets frustrated and Nonito will blast him again. Darchinyan's skill is underrated because he's awkward and doesn't look as good as he is, and sometimes really just abandons his abilities because he's got so much fire in the belly. Makes him a lot of fun but the dude will probably go down. And I'll never be happier to be proven wrong if not. Believe me. And I think Nonito's size advantage is a little more than listed also.
Donaire decisions him easily just for the fun of it. Nothing but respect for Vic, but Donaire beats him 9 times out of 10.
Donaire wins and by the end of 2010/2011, Darchinyan and the only other such risktaker in the entire sport, Manny Pacquiao will retire for good, leaving the scene for the Bum Factory eaters such as Nonaire. Don't get me wrong, Nonito is a very capable fighter. But when the better fighter keeps feasting on absolute bums and beating the same top guy he has the style advantage against, the fans DESERVE to see the lesser fighter send the cherry picker packing. Vic Darchinyan is one of the last old school take-em-all badass mother****ers, so when he's gone and the Bum Factory takes over, remember the day you were rooting against the REAL PRIZEFIGHTER!
Its not Donaire's fault that he's being avoided, heck even Darch's Promoter wont stake his prizefighter for a rematch (good move tho, or he could have suffered another loss right away) Donaire were scheduled to fight credible opponents who ended up injuring themselves while training for the fight.
