Mares Fought A More Difficult Version Of Darchy Than Donaire

[The Gambler1981]

Still think Donaire beats him though~

TS Mares fought a Vic with no KO power at 118 his best shot are meaningless if it can't hurt anyone. His efforts taking shots trying to get in range to land a hit is worthless if it can't put a dent on his opponent.

Vic is better now because he is much more grounded in reality.

But less effective without KO power.

But less effective without KO power.

I would take Vic now over that Vic strictly based on mindset, he was bound to get knocked out fighting like he did Donaire took advantage.

Donaire would still beat Vic but Vic is fighting better especially compared to the Donaire fight and the fight leading up to it.

Vic's head got big he was best right before that happened, when he had his power but was not totally in love with it and really did nice work.

Now, I understand that Darchynian is several fights removed from the Donaire loss. But one must also understand that he has looked great in the majority of these fights and losing to a fighter who is considered to be technically superior or dominant can cause one to change fight plans.

Coming into this fight against Mares, the Darchynian camp obviously put together a completely different plan than what Darchy is used to fighting. They understand that the aggressive bullying style can be detrimental against a fighter with very good accuracy, technical ability and ring intelligence. Especially against one with great combination.

This was apparent in this fight as Darchynian fought unlike Dachynian. This provided a tougher (and more awkward) puzzle for Mares to solve. Darchy was boxing, Darchy was sticking and moving, Darchy was being illusive. This is not the same Darchy that Donaire destroyed.

This is why Mares HAD to become the agressor, this is why he struggled with Darchynian.

The same can be said that Vic didnt fight like himself, you cant just throw away your old style and create a new one. Its better for him to be the old Vic, because not all fighter can throw the same punch Donaire hit him with.

A brawler without KO power can't compete against elite fighters fact:, they will always coming up short at the end.

lol,Donaire fought Darchinyan at 112lbs. Darchinyan took him litely and got knocked out.Mares has been fighting at 118lbs.which means he can take a better punch,that don't mean Darchinyan can't punch anymore.lol the Darchinyan Mares fought was more of a boxer then a brawler .I think that when Donaire fought Darchinyan ,Mares would have knocked out both of them out but,since then Donaire grew and has been fighting guys who can't take his power.a Mares fight is not even 50/50. even if he beat Montiel I don't think Donaire is gonna look good fighting Mares just like he didn't against Concepcion.I still think Mares would and should hurt him and knock him out.

TS all of Vic's accomplishments up until now can't compare to Donaire once he beats Montiel this Feb.

Darchinyan 34 years old
Donaire 27 years old

Donaire already a top 5 P4P at the age of 27 which Darchinyan only got what top 10-12?


At the Age of 30, Donaire is a 4 divisional champ

Donaire being top 5 p4p is bull****, his only ever beaten Darchinyan

Very true, Nonito shouldn't be in the P4P list until he beats Montiel imo.
