yeah. But I wonder if Gorres has the power to KO Darchinyan like Donaire did. Darchinyan certainly is a very dangerous opponent for Gorres. Gorres has excellent boxing skills but he does have stamina problems. If he cannot exploit Darchinyan's defensive flaws, he may find himself in trouble. Darchinyan wants revenhge for his embarrassing loss so he has great motivation for this fight.

Gorres wont KO, but he can definitely UD Darch.

Tall order though, but if anyone can do it, so can the Z-Man.

I havent seen many fights of Gorres but I was able to see him live at his last fight against Eric Ortiz. He looked real good against him. Hope he gets the win on this one. It will move him up the rankings nicely. Nonito Donaire will be training in Cebu. Hopefully he can give him some pointers.

This could easily become something akin to Arce-Mijares...Or, it can have a sorry ending for Gorres.

Gorres tends to fade in the late rounds. That's when Darchinyan has the best chance of catching him.

Speaking of Arce, I heard that he is slated to face a Filipino in the first week of December in New Mexico for the WBC Latino Bantamweight title. The name of the Filipino is Janiola, who is reportedly based in Cebu and goes with the moniker, "Braveheart." He reportedly was KD'd by Eric Ortiz recently in a losing battle.

Does any of the Pinoys know about this?

A well prepared Gorrez can surely beat Darchinyan but it won't be as lopsided as the Arce-Mijares fight. Gorrez is not that good.

Z needs to go the full 12 on this one and not fade. He'll surely UD Vic on this one.
