How about GERRY PENALOSA vs VIC DARCHINYAN

[JOM'S]

I know Penalosa is a better defensive fighter than Vazquez but the fight was going much easier for Gonzalez than it did against Vazquez.

We'll just agree to disagree, if the fight happens, I'm going with Darchinyan.

I am not to sure about the easy part, Johnny was having a good time their, able to hit vazquez at will even knocking down Israel twice before he was overwhelmed by the big puncher...

and I agree to disagree and if ever this fight happens, I will look you up for a points bet, hehe ...

Of course I didn't mean it was easy, every fight is tough, I meant it was going easier than it did against Vazquez, Penalosa wasn't punishing Gonzalez nearly as much as Vazquez was, knockdowns or not.

Sure, I'd be willing to put points on Darchinyan if it happens.

that I have to agree Penalosa was not able to punish gonzales thw whole fight and at most time at the receiving end except one time with that hook to the body...

What Penalosa has going for him is that he's used to fighting at 118 but he doesn't really have the style to trouble Darchinyan, Darchinyan is the harder puncher IMO and we've been seeing a much smarter and crisper Darchinyan lately, dating back to the Kirilov fight and I think he could be just as physically strong as Penalosa so I think Darchinyan just overwhelms him with big shots.

The way you said this seems like it was years ago.

He has changed in the past year, I could have said back to the Gorres fight but we only saw some change in that fight, the Kirilov fight was when his improvements really came through.
