Vic "The Raging Bull" Darchinyan= REAL FIGHTER

[Walt Liquor]

Looking at all the threads on the first page is making me sick, for the most part its about fantasy fights and people who are making excuse after excuse not to fight certain other fighters (unfortunately my boy Pwill is guilty of this right now too).

We should be talking about real fighters more, so here's a little tribute to Vic D, who's been knocking motha***as out, fighting the best he can, and entertaining crowds since at least '04.

I know he makes some excuses after his fights, I know he's like James Toney and never gives his opponents any props, but so what. Look who he fights:

-He blew out a 30-0 Irene Pacheco for his first IBF belt,
-bombed out Maldanado,
-entertaining fight with Burgos,
-got KTFO by DOnaire (no shame in that obviously).
-Beats down a red hot Mijares for the unified title at Superfly.
-makes Arce's face mined meat
-fights a tricky badass like Agbeko in his first step up fight to bantam (Agbeko should have been undefeated)
- fights the wrong fight vs Mares the beast and loses a razor thin decision
-comes back to bumrush and beat down and admittedly flat perez, but he did what he had to do.

The guy has fought a ridiculous amount of actual champions. Ridiculous.

Love fighters like him

[not-a-homo]

me too i love him as well so sexy

i like vic, i hated that he KO'd Mijares though

but hes a fun, exciting, ballsy fighter...

he has defense and stamina issues, but that adds to the excitement... as does he reliance upon his haymaker!

Not a fan of him really but he comes back from a couple losses to win and he won impressively even if he got a TD rd 5, how many fights can we say were won impressively in that manner?

I could throw Kirlov and Rojas in there as well. The Rojas KO was DEEEEERTY.

ff to 4:17. Rojas tries to duck and goes straigt into a Vic D uppercut BOMB.

The only thing I don't like about him is he's a little dirty. The ref lets him get away with that pawing lead hand that he leaves out there and it's illegal.

He's a strong fighter but I was disappointed in the Perez fight, it seemed as though Perez wasn't there from the opening round.

I'm not that put off by dirtier/rougher fighters. You get extra props when you beat um or shut down their dirty tricks.

It wasn't hard for him to look good Sat nite that's for sure, whens the last time Vic was dropping combos like that? up and down, 5-6 punch combos? He's not the guy you wanna have an off night against.
