    After seeing/hearing the results of Mijares/Darchinyan, it should dawn on some people that everyone is beatable, and that no fighter is without vulnerabilities. That is all

    And it's just so ****in' hilarious how boxers in fans' minds go from top of the notch to...overrated, exposed, etc...

    That mind frame definitely creates a ****ed up society....

    The point I am trying to make and I am sure you will agree, is that every fighter can be beaten, and having a couple losses on your record doesn't really mean a whole hell of a lot. What does mean a lot is if the fighter learns from those losses and makes adjustments to better themselves.

    Totally right ! All we need to keep our eyes on is if the talent is up there....Win or lose that never changes !! Some boxers have occasionnally off nights, sometimes they come in with injuries they don't mention, sometimes they don't respect the game plan from the start and sometimes it's only a matter of ''styles make fights'' !!

    Therefore fighter A beating fighter B doesn't make B a bum if he was already an excellent fighter !!

    We learnt a lot of things but above all, a good percentage of fans on ESB are disrespectful and fickle.

    Props to Vic for a great performance.

    Exactly, everyone is beatable, everyone possesses a weakness that can be expolited by the right opponent. It's always been that way, and always will be. A loss, as strange as it sounds, can actually be good for buisness, it's only when you're truly at rock bottom that you find out exactly what you're made of, and how much you really want it, it can make or break you. Now you can say STFU NOOB...

    It actually looks like a general bi-polar reaction from certain fans...

    Spot-on. :thumbsup

    This underlines how idiotic people seem when i.e. they bash guys like Lennox Lewis for having lost two times.

    An undefeated fighter is "invincible", and suddenly when he loses he becomes "flawed", "exposed" etc. Sometimes a loss means much, but most of the times it doesn't. Fans should really watch fights from a different perspective, that's for sure.

    You sound like Vic was a huge under dog, which he was not.
    The majority of people actually called the KO for Vic.:deal

    Cristijan fought the wrong fight and he tried to rough Vic up, not a very bright idea as Vic just came from underneath and tagged him over and over.

    Vic wins those fights 10/10, if Cristijan moves though, the result could definitely change.

    People who reacted after last's nights fight saying "exposed, bum, etc", I don't consider them fans. It happened when Cotto lost to Margarito, people criticising Miguel for losing to a fighter like Margarito. :(

    No, here on ESB he WAS the underdog. The polls prove it.

    Plus most of boxing writers and experts picked Mijares by Decision. So Vic was the underdog, not a big one, but still the underdog.

    Can anyone say rematch? No doubt Mijares wants one and desperately needs one to rebuild his reputation.

    In every fight, barring a draw, someone loses. Someone has to lose for someone to win.

    Doesn't mean one fighter sucks, is overhyped, is overrated, etc. It means they lost.

    effectiveness is greater than skill by far
