Donaire takes the rematch. He's just a stylistic nightmare for Darchinyan. Too fast and too skilled plus his hand has healed up. Vic has shown improvement but Nonito's got his number.
You are all Donaire nut huggers!!! Two of the judges had it even after 4 rounds, it happens in boxing where you get caught!! It doesnt make Darchinyan any less a fighter and it certainly doesnt mean he wont catch Donaire if they meet again! Perfect example was Rahman V Lewis we all know what happened next, and the fact that Darchinyan has come back as hard as he has voices a warning over to Donaire. I think Darch would starch Donaire within 8 !
Donaire just has the style and skill set to whup Vic everytime. Gary Chow will never let it happen though cuz he knows how it will end.
I honestly don't know the last can that Donaire has fought. In his last fight against Raul Martinez, Martinez was an unbeaten knockout artist and most people felt that it was an even fight because of Martinez's power and Donaire's inactivity and the other problems he was going through such as his injury. And in Donaire's fight before that against Mthalane, Mthalane was his mandatory and a very good fighter as well. These fighters IMO, are quality opponents. I do think that Donaire should try and get some of the ELITE big names though.
atsch fyi, top fighters like montiel and even darchi is ducking him. thats what you get when you're too damn good a la marquez when he was younger
The judges were wrong. The rounds that they scored for Darchi were not dominant rounds meaning 50/50 rounds while the rounds that they gave Donaire were very very dominant rounds. Rounds that wobbled Darchi.
I must admit I'm very pessimistic about heaping praise on fighters before they've proven much....but if there's one fighter in boxing today who I'm high on, it's Donaire!!! I really don't see any real weakness's in his game, and though this might seem crazy to some, I think he's going to be P4P top 3 easy one day. I regards to this fight....the best way to beat a southpaw like Vic is with a left-hook, I think Donaire has shown he's got an excellent one of those, and I cannot see any way Vic takes a rematch unless it happens at a much higher weight that Donaire is comfortable with!!!
Comparing the parity between Lewis and Rahman and Nonito and Vic is quite frankly stupidity!!!! It was clear early in the fight to most (even one of my best friends who's a huge Vic fan) that Donaire had Vic's number!!! He seemed to turn the natural advantages a southpaw his to his own advantage.....waiting for Vic to try and land the big left and catching him with the left-hook in the process!!! I'd say Donaire wins 19/20 excluding weight problems and illness etc
I also think that Vic took him lightly he tought it was just another easy fight but he was wrong,i dont think he will make the same mistake again.
