WAR VIC !!!!!
he tries to get into opponents heads and he takes it tooo far. I have to agree if he said that he's taking it toooo far
Tyson used to say he wanted to drive opponents nose bones into their brain. Fighters in the past always talked shit and people loved them for it. Vic does it and people take offense?
The shit talk is all part of the game IMO. If he did say what he said, a thousand others before him said the same thing. He is just trying to take Mijares out of his game.
I would predict a Vic win, but just cannot see Mijares losing. This one is tough for me because I like both guys.
Vic is so strong he will always have a chance. Someone else I know described him as a "a little crab with one giant arm" . Kinda like yeah he looks beatable, but do you really want to mess with it? hehe
LMAO, buy that man a beer. Thats a GREAT description of him. But no joking, with Vics power, he could change the fight around at anytime......
If that's true, that's ****ed up, and I hate Darchinyan even more.

Darchinyan said he was going to put my guy in the hospital

I give Vic a decent chance. I think Mijares will win but Vic has real power. This being the year of upsets, it can happen.
I don't think Mijares has the power to knock out Vic, so Vic will have 12 rounds to land something big. It can happen. Mijares has all the makings of a special fighter, but even special fighters can get caught. One little lapse is all it takes.

Diabolical DiBella Simply Shocked As Darchinyan Tries To Bait Mijares Into Hotel Lobby Brawl!

http://www.******************.com/news_images/33/10_30_2008_darchinyan-mijares-presser-img1.jpg One thing Lou DiBella and Big Gary Shaw can agree on is that none of their fighters should fight for free. Eliminate the “r” and then let them rumble. Just as long as the promoters know there is a certain payday.
Which, I guess, is why a shocked DiBella just phoned ****************** to report breathlessly that his champ, Cristian Mijares, nearly went to blows with bigmouth Aussie Vic Darchinyan Wednesday in the lobby of the Doubletree Hotel in Carson, Ca.
“Darchinyan keeps talking shit and Cristian just heard enough. Darchinyan said he was going to put my guy in the hospital so Cristian said, ‘Let’s do it right here and now.’”
DiBella said the potential preflight skirmish was broken up by acolytes of both fighters.
The Doubletree lobby might have to be declared a no go zone.

yo man I love my fellow Armenian boxer but wtf is this guy talking about.....

Dan Hernandez, RingSideReport.com (Darchinyan): "With the heavyweights in such a dismal state, it's good to see the lower divisions doing their best to be the standard bearers for boxing. Darchinyan's power, determination and skill level will prevail. A knockout victory would not be a surprise."
Even I'll admit Mijares "skill level" is light yrs ahead of Vic's
Rob Scott, Doghouseboxing.com (Darchinyan): "Mijares has the boxing ability much like Donaire, but he also has to have his mental stability as well. He will be hit harder than he probably ever has. Once hit, Mijares must not fold, but stay with the game plan of chipping away at Darchinyan's armor. It's Mijares' fight to win or lose because a good boxer can beat a good puncher. Mijares will step up his game, but it's Darchinyan's great punching power that will prevail. Darchinyan wins by decision -- or possible late stoppage."
Neil Fletcher, British-Weekly.com (Mijares): "Mijares is a good boxer with excellent movement. Darchinyan is a power-punching southpaw who must chase his opponent down and land his left to be effective. Too close to call with any certainty, but the call is Mijares by decision."
Lyle Fitzsimmons, Sportsnetwork.com (Mijares): "Darchinyan is clearly the puncher and is more likely to record a highlight-reel victory, but absent of that, I can see Mijares simply confusing and out-skilling him. If he avoids the fireworks early, look for him to spread the margin in the homestretch. Mijares records a decision.
Jason Jackson, ******************.com (Mijares): "Mijares will use his superior defensive skills to neutralize Darchinyan's powerful left hand and take a unanimous decision.
Elisa Harrison, Braggingrightscorner.com (Mijares): It's hard to pick a winner because both men are talented and each has a specific forte. So, do you pick the boxer or the puncher? Showtime is showing what the fights fans want to see and this one should not disappoint. Mijares wins a hard-fought decision.''
Ernest Gabion, BoxingScene.com (Mijares): "Vic has something to prove, but instead of it being an asset it will be a hindrance as he will try and press a supreme boxer. Mijares will take Vic's aggression and nullify most of it with countering. Mijares wins by unanimous decision."
Hesiquio Balderas, El Tuxtepecano (Mijares): "Mijares is going to win because he is a smart boxer who creates angles and openings and can put his combinations together. He is a very smart, technical fighter, and also his timing is perfect as he showed against hard punchers such as Alex Muñoz and Jorge Arce. Mijares registers a 12-round decision."
Dan Hernandez, RingSideReport.com (Darchinyan): "With the heavyweights in such a dismal state, it's good to see the lower divisions doing their best to be the standard bearers for boxing. Darchinyan's power, determination and skill level will prevail. A knockout victory would not be a surprise."
Phil Santos, Overhandright.com (Mijares): "Vic has the punching power, but he does not possess the technical skills to outbox Mijares or penetrate his stellar defense. The match will unfold much like Mijares-Arce with Cristian controlling the action and decisively outclassing the ever-aggressive Darchinyan. Mijares unifies the belts by unanimous decision or late stoppage."
Rusty Rubin, Ringsports.com (Darchinyan): "Darchinyan has been through the wars and will have to work hard to win this tough battle with Mijares. It's tough, action fight and probably will have some blood flowing. I'll take Darchinyan by a late stoppage."
Ace Freeman, FightFan.com (Mijares): "This is a classic boxer vs. puncher matchup between two exciting fighters. Mijares is somewhat of a hidden gem when it comes to pound-for-pound discussions, but he will soundly outbox Vic and catch him with some big counter punches en route to a late stoppage."
Carlos Rivera, Cox3 News (Mijares): "Styles and personalities aside, Mijares will retain his WBC/WBA belts in a decision."
Diane Bennett, DiamondBoxing.com (Mijares): "It should be an exciting 12 rounds, with Mijares bringing his toolbox of skills, which include speed, defense and counter-punching abilities to the ring to offset the Darchinyan power. Mijares will box his way to a decision victory and keep his six-year unbeaten streak intact."
Henry Bedoy, Boxingstars.net (Mijares): "Mijares is simply too fast and crafty for the vulnerable Vic Darchinyan. Mijares by late TKO."
Michael Amakor, FightKings.com (Mijares): "I will pick the southpaw boxer every day over a banger like Darchinyan. Mijares is younger and appears calmer too. Mijares will win."
Boxing writers weigh in on Mijares-Darchinyan
Thursday, October 30, 2008 | Print Entry
Posted by Dan Rafael
I'm really looking forward to seeing the Cristian Mijares-Vic Darchinyan junior bantamweight unification fight on Saturday night. It's only the third unification bout in division history, and for those who follow these blogs closely, they know I am a huge fan of the quality of talent in the 115-pound division.
Showtime, which I give a lot of credit to for making the decision to put up the money to make the fight possible, will air the fight from the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. at 9 p.m. ET/PT. In the lead up to the bout, the network's media relations folks canvassed a variety of boxing media for their picks. The results were not too surprising -- of the 32 who made a pick, 26 selected Mijares and only six went with Darchinyan.
The general view is that although it figures to be a good fight, Mijares' skills and speed will trump Darchinyan's savage power.
Here's a look at the media predictions Showtime collected for the fight:
Dan Rafael, ESPN.com (Mijares): "This could be a lot like Mijares' fight against another hard-puncher, Jorge Arce. Darchinyan is an exciting, aggressive guy, but Mijares is more skillful, faster and knows how to avoid punches. Simply, he is a much better overall fighter. Mijares wins a lopsided decision in what probably will still be an exciting fight to watch."
Darius Ortiz, ESPN.com (Darchinyan): "If Cristian Mijares thinks he'll handle Vic Darchinyan the same way he did Jorge Arce, he has a whole other thing coming. Darchinyan throws punches from angles and positions that no Mijares sparring partner can possibly replicate. I say the Raging Bull sinks his teeth into Mijares by the middle rounds and takes him down by the ninth."
Tim Smith, New York Daily News (Mijares): "Darchinyan is a good fighter, but the thing I don't like about him is the thing that makes him good: his fool-hardy aggressiveness. Mijares will take advantage and win by seventh-round TKO."
Kevin Iole, Yahoosports.com (Mijares): "Mijares is a brilliant boxer. Darchinyan throws wide punches, and Mijares will have no problem seeing them and getting out of the way of them. It should be a boxing clinic by one of the game's best-kept secrets. Mijares wins by decision in 12 rounds."
Robert Morales, Los Angeles Daily News (Mijares): "Mijares is a more technically sound fighter. He is going to frustrate the wild-swinging Darchinyan. Mijares will wind up hurting him late with counter shots. Not sure he will stop Darchinyan, but he might."
Steve Farhood, Showtime (Mijares): "Mijares wins all 12 rounds. It's about time American fans came to realize just how good this guy is."
Paul Upham, SecondsOut.com (Darchinyan): "Mijares should be the favorite going in, but Darchinyan's aggressive nature and punching power have been irresistible on all occasions, which is one of the reasons why Showtime has taken such a liking to the Raging Bull from Armenia. Mijares' skills and toughness should give Darchinyan some problems, but if Vic detonates one of his power shots, the Mexican will need to be strong to resist the KO. Darchinyan wins a close points decision."
J. Michael Falgoust, USA Today (Mijares): "Mijares is a terrific boxer, but Darchinyan's boxing skills leave much to be desired. Darchinyan has a puncher's chance, of course, because Mijares sometimes nullifies his height. He is often found bending over at the waist, which obviously gives up his height advantage, and other times he stands too tall and in range of an opponent. That said, Darchinyan is not without a chance, but Mijares wins a decision."
Chris Cozzone, Fightnews.com (Mijares): "Darchinyan has already shown flaws against a superior boxer. I believe Mijares has the chin to check anything Darchinyan throws at him. Mijares by decision."
Michael David Smith, AOL (Mijares): "Darchinyan has good punching power for a man his size. I wouldn't be surprised if he sends Mijares to the canvas. But Mijares is the best boxer under 120 pounds in the world, and he will wear Darchinyan down over 12 rounds and win a decision."
Steve Kim, MaxBoxing.com, (Mijares): "Not only do I think that Mijares is a master boxer, he's also the natural 115-pounder. Mijares will outpoint the puncher ."
Ramon Aranda, 411mania.com (Mijares): "This one could go either way especially with Darchinyan's awkward style and punishing bombs. Vic could very well stun Mijares early in the fight, but with Mijares' increasingly proficient boxing skills, he'll weather Darchinyan's storm and outbox him for the remainder of the bout. Mijares will win by a comfortable margin."
Jake Donovan, Boxingscene.com (Mijares): "Not to take anything away from Darchinyan, who still remains one of the best fighters in the lower weight classes, but Mijares is in another league and enjoying a Fighter of the Year campaign. He should prove to be far too resourceful for Vic. This will be a more competitive version of Mijares-Arce, but still a clear-cut win for Mijares. Mijares by unanimous decision."
Michael Swann, 15 Rounds.com (Mijares): "Cristian Mijares is a talented stylist who is in his prime at 27. Vic Darchinyan is all offense and can end it with one punch but, at age 32, will he be able to avoid the shots before he delivers? Mijares scores a unanimous decision."
Phil Woolever, TheSweetScience.com (Darchinyan): "While it's no stretch of the imagination to foresee Mijares pitching a southpaw shutout, I think that being derailed and defeated strengthened Darchinyan's resolve to the point he'll be able to work his way in effectively enough to win."
Scott Swerbinsky, TheClevelandFan.com (Mijares): "This is potentially the fight of the year. Speed and counter-punching will be the difference. Mijares by a close, hard-fought decision."
Daxx Kahn, ***********.com ((Mijares): "In his bout with Nonito Donaire, Darchinyan was exposed on his ability to deal with a clever boxer that has solid whiskers. While Mijares is not a big puncher, he has a solid chin and counters well. Look for Mijares to fight smart and land counter punches, using Darchinyan's jerky style to his advantage. Mijares wins a unanimous decision."
Its possible. The stupid writers that so far ain't going to put Naseem Hamed in the hall of fame. Hopefully those writers will eat there words. Mijares is a top 10 fighter P4P and should get much props for facing a dangerous Vic.
