I know I will be in the minority for this one, but I predict victory for Vic. Rigo will outbox him for quite a while (and maybe drop him) until Vic catches up with him and stop him is my guess.
I'll side with Rigo this time. He'll be outmaneuvering Vic for 12 rounds. However, I expect to see Rigo wobble quite a few times.
Darchinyan defense is leakier than a busted water faucet. I see him running into a monster left straight and put to sleep.
Rigo is definately more talented skill wise, but Vic is a big puncher and Rigo's chin is very questionable. I say Rigo would be up on the scorecards, but Vic stops him in the middle rounds. Skilled fighters with bad chins always get exposed sooner or later.
I agree with this, look what happened to Amir Khan, he has skills but his chin isn't great. Even with his fight with Maidana, if the fight was 15 rounds, Maidana may have stopped Khan in the later rounds.
Last time Vic scored a KO was 3 yrs ago at 115lbs.He doesnt carry the same power and he's older and slower in the ring.He has an awkward style,that's his edge.But i think Rigo will maul him in a bad way.
