Vic vs Mijares II (rematch who wins?)

Paul Williams.

 

Williams won 4 or 5 rounds in that fight. I had it a draw going into the 11th and gave Los the last two rounds. Mijares got his ass handed to him in every round before being stopped in the 9th. Those two fights are not comparable.

 

People don't seem to be understanding what took place in the fight. Mijares wasn't exposed technically, he was hurt early on, frustrated, and ultimately taken out of his comfort zone due to his own ego and lack of experience with that kind of adversity. He didn't fight his fight from the beginning, and the first round just amplified his inability to build up any kind of rhythm because of his mental state.

If he sticks to doing what he needs to do to win, he most certainly can. Will he? Who knows? We'll have to wait and see.

 

Id have to go back over 60 years. Joe Louis vs. Schmeling...

But in the words of lloyd bentsen..Christian, youre no Joe louis.

BTW Louis won some rounds in the first fight.

 

I agree..to beat Vic a fighter needs ko power. A rematch would yield the same results...at least I think so.

 

Louis also had a habit of dropping his left hand low after he jabbed. Schmeling picked up on this, and that's how he was able to drop Louis and then stop him. Louis didn't allow that to happen in the rematch. Regardless, you're right, that was over 60 years ago.

 

You don't need KO power to beat Vic. He's a very flawed, unorthodox pure puncher who could be exposed by a great pure boxing technician. Mijares's problems weren't to do with his technical skills, but his arrogance and lack of mental fortitude.

 

Yup, see Donaire vs. Darchinyan as an example of this in action.

 

Donaire's success had as much to do with his power and ability to match Vic in a bang-out as it did his technical ability, as he;s pretty flawed in that regard to be honest. One edge he did hold that Mijares didn't however, was his ability to pop in and out and maintain a distance.

 

He also throws a damn good left hook out of that orthodox stance.

 

It can happen again. People are biased its useless. My boy Pavlik got schooled by your boy BHop... I pick BHOP in a rematch. I know my boy wasnt letting his hands go and all...but what I saw in the ring convinced me.

 

That's definately true, but it's rare that it does happen.

 

Im the type of fan that aint to keen on seeing a rematch when the first fight wasnt even close.Especially when there are other top tier fighters for the victor(Darchinyan in this case) to fight..

But in saying that,Mijares would more then deserved a rematch if he can get a few decent wins under his belt..Alot like Vic has now done since his devastating loss to Donaire.

All in all rematches should be deserved when it comes to the Elite fighters and on Mijares last performance can we say he deserves one???

 

It seems that Donaire power is underrated so much. In the Donaire-Darchi fight, Darchi was wobbled in the second round from a left punch and whenever he tried to close the distance, he eats tons of leather. That is why, he was never able to fight as close as the mijares fight. In the Mijares fight, Darchi's face was basically almost always just a punch away yet Mijares can not capitalize because he was more concerned about being tagged. The discrepancy in power is so much that the rematch would have the same outcome.

Mijares is slick against fighters who have no power or are slow like Maldonado. But against unorthodox slugger, fast fighter who swarm like Darchi, he had no chance.
