Vic is in the same position rigo was in back in april,nobody was giving rigo a chance to unseed donaire,and its the same thing here,everyone is sleeping on vic and i can understand why..but to vic this isnt just an ordinary fight for him this is thee fight he has been want i ng fof years which is why he is so motivated...and a fighter with his back against the wall is the most dangerous fighter...i hope donaire took him seriously this time around cuz if not darchinyan mivht pull off the win ,,,with that said donaire wins it across the boards 116-112 in a highly competitive fight imo..

1. No he's not, Rigo wasn't destroyed by Donaire in the past
2. Darchinyan is up 3 weight classes from the first fight and years older.
3. This is a 10 round fight

This is a confidence builder for Donaire.... you can't really compare Rigo to Darchinyan....no way

Your right about a ten round fight but i disagree with everything else u post...doesnt matter if rigo wasnt destroyed,nobody gave him a shot but a few people,i think u thought donaire was gonna win it if im not wrong...and the same could be said about donaire this is the first time at 126 for both fighters so you cant argue one point fkr another

I did think he'd win it, but I wasn't riding him hard.
This is much harder physically for Darchinyan compared to Donaire.
Donaire is taller, younger and now he has less weight to cut.
Darchinyan in his late 30's and shorter.
I'm siding with Donaire hard and yes, I'm not giving Darchinyan a shot. You can rub it in my face if he loses, but I got donaire in a wipe out.

I am not too excited about this fight BUT you can see Darchinyan is really determined and confident when interviewed. This type of behavior before a fight interests me as I know the underdog will give it all he's got which makes for an exciting fight for however long it lasts.

Thats cool but darchinyan hasnt taken too much punishment in his career to say he is a shot fighter,not saying you said that im just trying to make a point here..he could be a rejuvenated fighter at this weight class and i believe will be very competitive in this fight...donaire already beat him which could mean he might be underestimating him which might be a mistake,but to say hes vonna wipe him out based of theire last fight 6 years ago is absurd...this is boxing and anything can happen in boxing...just saying...favorites dont always win,butlike i said vic is gonna be better this fight then last

vic brings it every fight win lose or draw he's going for the ko so it will be exciting while it last

The fight will end with a KO and somebody down on the canvas.

Darchinyan is going to give it his all. Donaire needs to bring his A game or he will lose.
