Who has Darchi beat?? a bunch of light-hitters, Rojas, Kirilov,Mijares, Gorres are the malignagi equivalent in the 115 div. I am not saying he can't beat Runito coz I feel he will by KO ( ill review my prediction when the fight nears). But he's avoiding punchers like Montiel that its clear.
Donaire was mismanaged. That's all there is to it. I don't think he would've had troubles with Mijares and Arce. Agbeko probably but too soon to tell. Donaire is a stylistic nightmare for Vic. Long, rangy fighter with better handspeed and the chin to take his power. He will stop Vic 100/100 times.
Donaire would smash, Gorres, Mijares, Kirilov and Arce!! IMO., Shaw gave those to DARCH instead. I think Donaire has a stronger opponents,harders hitter than Darch. Moruti, Raul Martinez and Concepcion can hit...
Dude u is an immigrant, this is aboriginal land. landgrab:roflber!! ur ppl came here on boats long time ago.
About time. I think it is an even more intresting match up this time around. I think Donaire may have landed a "lucky" punch. However he has improved sence their bout and I would not count him out in the rematch.
it's exactly the opposite Nonito is what is good about boxing, he challenges everyone sadly none of the other chumps steps up to the challenge and want to fight him - these are the ones who aren't good for boxing. darchinyan isn't one of these lower weight chumps.
No way man. Donaire won every round of that fight except one. Having said that, Vic will do his home work this time. He wont rush in like a bull at a gate. Vic was uber-confident in that fight and didnt take his opponent seriously. Next time will be different. I Still back Donaire but Vic will bring a better/smarter fight.
This thread is completely devoid of meaningful analysis. Allow me to provide some. First of all, the punch Nonentity Donaire landed to kayo Vic last time around wasn't a lucky punch. He was beating Vic to the punch consistently throughout the fight. In short, Vic was never in it. That's a fact. While I can understand why people think Donaire will do it again (he's younger & appears faster than Vic) I think Vic is a big chance of reversing the result second time around. First of all, Vic's form going into the Donaire fight last time was poor. He was slow & ponderous against Victor Burgos (a fighter he should have kayoed inside of 4 rounds) in his previous fight. He also prepared in Australia for the fight (doing all his sparring there). In contrast, Donaire had world class sparring at the Wild Card. Darchinyan now makes sure he does some sparring in either Los Angeles or Las Vegas as part of his preparation. Getting some variation in his sparring against quality opposition (for example, Zab Judah for the Rojas fight) is very important. Whilst I think Vic's physical preparation for Donaire was subpar last time, his mental preparation was worse. He had beaten the bag out of Donaire's brother a couple of fights earlier & expected an easy time of it against Nonentity. Wrong. By the time Vic realised Nonentity was a live opponent it was too late to do anything about it. In summary, I think Vic will be much better prepared both physically and mentally second time around. Does this mean he's certain to win? No. As stated, Donaire is younger & appears faster than Vic. Donaire has also demonstrated that he knows what counters to throw when Vic launches an attack on him. Vic will need to be sharp on the night to get the result. Certainly Vic's handspeed needs to be much better than it was the last time they fought if he wants to land the heavy artillery. For the reasons given, I think it will be and that Vic has an excellent chance of winning. And don't underestimate Vic's mental capabilities either. He has the kind of determination and self belief that only the great champions possess. Bring this fight on & let's see if Vic can knock another P4P guy senseless.
