Darchinyan completley surpised me with his ability to fight a different fight than usual. I had seen him fight 5 times before, 1 of which live, and I didnt give him a chance against Mijares. Instead he shut me up by bringing in a great plan.
I was also a bit surprised by Mijares not finding the key to the puzzle, to the point of getting stopped. Many here talk about the jab (I want to see the fight on tv to get a different view of what Darchinyan was doing to not let mijares throw the jab) and how he should have got in and out, but I personally thought that Mijares was doing the better work on the inside, Darchinyan was not sitting on his punches when moving, and could not land many of them on the inside. So staying in there might have spared Mijares the KO IMO, still might have likely lost the decision, since he wasnt throwing much and Vic was able to land (not hurt) while moving backwards.
