Really Vic?

The TKO made up for Donaire's overall performance. His performance wasn't great but he won, that's all he has to do. The way Donaire finished him was one of the best I've seen in awhile. After he hurt Darchinyan, every punch he threw after that was to cause permanent damage.

I've never been a fan of Darchinyan but I kinda feel bad for him. He deserved the win IMO.

This right here.

What's the back story with Donaire? All I've heard is that he lost the fire. Is it because he's just tired of the sport ?

Either way he really overcame a lot of adversity yesterday which was impressive even if he didn't look too good.

Donaire looked terrible. It looked like he was just going through the motion up until that 9th round. If he's going to continue to fight like that, he can just retire now.

The lost to Rigo has an affect on Donaire. Rising to the top then suddenly a road block really put down his confidence.

nonito needs to open up more, he has an absolute granite chin

Darch is a so so fighter. He's 37 and lost 4 times since they fought. Don't forget he was ko by nonito lol. This was a tune up and he was losing the fight easily. And it was Vic's first 126 fight too. Always excuses for donaire. Like he's the only fighter with a baby or a few month lay off lol

Didn't mares struggle (and arguably lost IMO) and got dropped against darchinyan?? At least donaire got the ko AGAIN...plus it was donaires first fight at 126 as well and he was coming off a loss and shoulder surgery...

Why are we pretending that was a good win? Vic has lost three of his last five. Last night just proved to me that Donaire never was nor will he ever be the best around the babby divisions.

i hate to state the obvious but it either darchinyan went up a notch or donaire just reached his peak. it was a nice scrap though

[Ringlife]

I scored the fight 78 to 74 Darchinyan. He was doing pretty good until that left hook landed. Tough loss for Darchinyan.

I didn't think it was going to be a close fight at all. Donaire didn't seem to sure in himself in this fight but Donaire pulled it together and got the TKO in 9th round the only fighter to stop Vic twice.
