Before his loss to Agbeko, I would say for sure. As of today, no. After Darchinyan lost, Shaw all of sudden wants him to fight Donaire again.
It's not like the first fight was close or controversial anyways. Darchinyan was outclassed and out fought every second of the fight, but after stopping Arce and Mijares, he deserved a second shot at Donaire. But as of right now Donaire should be going after bigger and better things like fighting Montiel, instead of fighting once a year against bums who can't even make it through training camp without getting injured. Having a rematch with Vic will only stall his progress even more. Donaire has already wasted too much time. A lot of it wasn't his fault, but it's time to step it up.
i would love nothing more than to see donaire knock vic out again---absolutely love it. i hate vic dude is a prick. he says he wants donaire then he doesnt now he does dude needs to make up his fekkin mind already
Darchinyan and Shaw are the only ones who thinks the first fight was a fluke.
You have a good point how fighting Darchinyan again is better than the shit he's doing now. I just think there are better fighters more deserving like Montiel. Winning belts would be great for Donaire, but it's no secret he has trouble making 115 nowadays. Vic should have given Donaire the rematch sooner, but went up to 118 too soon and lost. So Donaire doesn't owe Vic or Shaw any paydays.
Yeah Donaire has few options, but why fight a guy who isn't even in his league at the moment. That reminds me of Dawson's rematch with Tarver.
no but fighters can have off nights. whos to say vic cant adjust or do better in rematch?
vic has been doing well and still winning belts and has been fighting donaire nothing really. and vic willing to move up so i dont see nothing wrong with fighting at 118. but yeah
just because he got beat in first fight dont mena they cant have a rematch. and vic cant do better. i think vic has earned a rematch. plus donaire isnt going to get more money elsewehere maybe arce or montiel. but vic is the draw win or lose
you telling me you fight somene and you outclass them the first time around knock them out no problem. they go on winning belts still and making money and you got a chance to fight him again you wouldnt take that? id be like let me fight vic in june beat him again unify the division make some money have 2 wins over the raging bull then fight winner at 118.
or go up fight the guy who beat king kong.
i know its not up to donaire or vic but i know vic for sure wants the fight
you 1 prove the first fight wasnta fluke 2 you unify the division and 3 you make money and get exposure. shit its better than what hes been doing since

1) belts
2) grudgematch
3) money
4) shutting up darchy's mouth
Only the respect of people who think he's ducked a rematch. But who's really doing who a favor? Vic has outperformed Donaire clearly in the time since losing to him. I like the rematch, but will be just fine without it.

Too much time has been wasted on this possible rematch. The way I see it, Darchinyan is still bitter about the KO. If Vic believes it was luck, so be it. I'm glad Donaire is finally going to bantamweight. There isn't any money to be made fighting in the lower weight classes. There are alot of big names in the Bantamweight and Super Bantamweight divisions. One thing is certain though, he definetly needs to get in the ring more. He's exciting to watch and has alot of potential. Darchinyan should just end his career fighting in the Flyweight divisons.
no. nonito's moving up. it aint like vic is unfinished business. he already dealt with him and blew him out. there was nothing controversial about it.
it'd be like manny giving a rematch to cotto. floyd to hatton. hopkins to pavlik.
there's absolutely no need for it.

darchinyan has had a great run since he lost to donaire. on the other hand, if donaire fights darchinyan for a second time, it will be the first thing he has done since their first fight.
Of course he does. Who is Donaire going to fight instead? Eric Morel on some shitty PPV card? No thanks. If he's going to be ranked so high p4p, then he might as well prove he's a top fighter still and fight Darchinyan again. Darchinyan is better then Morel./
Yes, 2 belts at 115. The loss to Agbeko was at bantamweight, Donaire and Darchinyan would be at super flyweight.
Darchinyan has redeemed himself from that loss by dominating the fighters he did.
