Darchinyan vs. Mijares official for November

[KingArthur]

If winning at least one round is a moral victory for you, I'm sure you could find one or two to give him. Nothing biased about it, Mijares is an exceptional fighter and stylistically is the worst possible matchup Darchinyan could have taken. He telegraphs his punches and against a sharp shooter like Mijares, he isn't going to land those kind of punches. If Darchinyan can't land haymakers, he can't win.

To use a Stewardism, Mijares is a computer printout of the worst fighter Darchinyan could have fought.

All I have to say is, everyone has a gameplan UNTIL they get hit with a power punch!

Dude why do you bring "morality" in this issue. I already posted he probably will lose, but there is a consesus here Darchinyan is going to get schooled and an easy shutout for Mirajes, and it seems like Darchinyan won't tag him in 12 straight rounds. What about if the "telegraphed" punches actually hits the target and then what? Does Mijares have a Margarito chin? No one seems to admit that is a possibility. Come on man don't preach morality, especially not in a boxing forum? WTF?

Moral victories have nothing to do with morality. Here, courtesy Wikipedia.

A moral victory occurs when a person, team, army or other group loses a confrontation, and yet achieves some other moral gain. This gain might be unrelated to the confrontation in question, and the gain is often considerably less than what would have been accomplished if an actual victory had been achieved.

For example, a sports team that loses fairly to a cheating team might claim a moral victory in spite of the loss.

Mijares will get hit at least once every round, two questions persist though:

1) Will those punches be telling blows that can affect the tide of the fight, and

2) Will Darchinyan land more punches in the rounds that he catches him than Mijares.

My honest guess is nope. But I've been wrong.

[Mr. Ryan]

Thank you sir.

I prefer the one about eating Lewis' children but I couldn't find a place to use it.

Thanks for the definition and explanation, my posts intentions were not that , I know what the world moral means, you did not have to go out of your way to wikipedia.com. hopefully Mijares is ready and so is darch, I think Darch is VERY underrated here, especially after the Donaire fight. All props to Donaire but hopefully Darch learned from that mistake and upped his defense. Actually after thinking about it, especially after the kirilov fight, Darches chances are quite good. We will see fight night.

Thank you sir.

I've seen people mangle this quote. Tyson himself said it rather poetically.
“Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth."

People change it to get hit or something like that but the way Mike said it was concise, powerful, and poetic.

darchinyan is a true warrior with no regard for human life but he is not on mijares level. he will get taken to school.
