The Reason I don't think Darchinyan can beat Nonito Donaire...

[Mr. Ryan]

I recall there being more Darchinyan supporters, will someone care to offer some refutation?

Hey AsianSensation,

Never underestimate the heart of a champion. Vic has better stamina and can throw his power punches for 12 rounds nonstop.

Can you argue with that?

Im not sold on donaire yet... (im not hating on him either). I just need to see more of him. He beat darchinyan but I think Darchy was lookin past him and maybe had a bad night you never know. Then he fought a very small Maldanado that was kinda shot. He gave Nonito just a lil test for 8 rounds(wich Montiel finished him in 3) I just need to see more of him agianst experienced better fighters. Im looking foward to seeing him tonight.

I cannot argue that a guy can or cannot throw punches nonstop. A boxer can throw 100 punches a round and be effective but it's the manner in which they are thrown that is of consequence. Darchinyan kept a fast pace in the first fight and that afforded Donaire lots of countering opportunities.

If you throw punches and can't avoid the counters in return, throwing lots of punches is a detriment. Especially if you can't land or get in punching range quick enough.

You could also say that Fernando Montiel and Vic Darchinyan fought a "very small" Luis Maldonado as well. Those three fighters represent the only losses on Maldonado's record.

Montiel's knockout of Maldonado came on the heels of a very bad beating suffered at the hands of Donaire at a higher weight than Maldonado is used to fighting at.

I'm not sure what Darchinyan was looking past Donaire at, since there was no significant talk of a major fight after Donaire.

If that was his rendition of an off-night, then that was some off night he had. That was like a Jeff Lacy off-night, or a Don Imus off-night.

No disrespect at all, I was just opening up the floor to discussion and debate so we could come to agreement on this subject. You made a statement and I just wanted to give my take on the points you made.

No harm, no foul.

Nah its cool, no problem... personally i really think donaire has Darchys number.. but i do think he deserves a rematch. That fight wont happen though cuase darchy wont make it past Mijares tonight. I would really like to see Donaire/Arce.. Arce would put alot of pressure on donaire and he has some serious balls and he can take a shot. Donaire would probably win but it would be fun to watch.

Donaire-Arce will be a star-making performance for one reason: It will be shown on American TV. Not many people got to see Mijares taking Arce to school because it was a smaller PPV show. But I think it will be an entertaining fight as long as it lasts.

I do believe Darchinyan wants a rematch and kudos to him, but I doubt it'll happen because his people know the score.

Forget Darchinyan, Mijares vs Donaire in 09.
