Vic Darchinyan, as usual, is promising yet another knockout.
The last time he went the distance was over 4 years ago, in 2003 when he faced Alejandro Felix Montiel and was able to dominate and control the action for 10 rounds, but was unable to get the tough Montiel out of there
This time he faces Nonito Donaire, the older brother of one of Darchinyans recent victims, Glen Donaire. Donaire got off easy with a technical decision, after suffering a broken jaw. Tony weeks thought the injury was suffered from an accidental elbow.
Anyway, word among the articles ive read, is that Nonito is the far more skilled of the Donaire brothers. Even though he is younger, Nonito is apparently a boxer with fast handspeed, where as Glen is called a brawler by his brother.
Either way, Its been known since the beggining of time that a skilled boxer, or any fighter that forces VIC to depend on his boxing skill rather then his power, is going to give Vic Darchinyan a world of trouble.
Donaire is probably not the person to serve Darchinyan his first defeat... But i think he pulls Darchinyan into deep waters. Maybe he'll get stopped late, but im predicting DARCHINYAN by UD in a very close decision.
