    I picked Vic solely because he is one of my favorite fighters.

    First I picked Moreno and I've been saying how underrated he is, but my Raging G support got the better of me so changed my pick to Vic. Awesome display of slick boxing by Chemito, and watching him stand his ground and getting the better of the trading was some statement. Chemito is a certified G now.

    I made some money on him. Even taking into account the vast difference in popularity, I was a little surprised that he was a 2-1 underdog, seemed a good style match up for him. I was a bit concerned that I might have been tricked like I was with Mijares, but luckily it worked out this time.

    I picked Moreno to win by decision on a fantasy boxing thing I'm in on another site. However I wasn't too proud of the rest of my picks that night :(

    I picked him to win a decision over Vic. I have been keeping up with Moreno's career and I thought he would beat Vic from the beginning.

    I dunno, I say Moreno wins a close decision now, but if the fight actually got made I would probably have a harder time picking most likely.

    Don't get me wrong, I like Mares, and think he's a damn good fighter, just think it's a tough fight to call in my book.

    :lol::yep

    It is badass that he stood in there with Vic, and Moreno, the guy without much power, was getting the better exchanges with the always dangerously powerful Vic.

    G **** all round.

    I did at +190, only gamble I won that night with Toney and Agbeko losing. Moreno was younger, bigger, better. He's been tested with solid competition (just no big names). Also Vic's power is overrated at that weight, he was begging to be outboxed, and he's 35, in that weight class that's not common.
