    Whats next for Darchinyan?

    I thought he was doing very well against Donare on Saturday until he got KO'd and I believe he proved he can still fight at a high level. I think he looked pretty sharp and strong for his age and definitely has some more high level fights in him, IMO.

    Who/what do you guys think is next for him and who would you like him to face?

    Call me crazy but a lot of folks here are calling Donaire a *****, etc for fighting Vic and not rematching Rigo but personally I thought Rigo already outclassed Donaire and would like Donaire to fight a Salido/Gradovich next and Rigo fight Vic after Agebko and then if both win, maybe a Rigo-Donaire rematch in late 2014 and if Donaire beat Gradovich, for example, he would have another belt for Rigo to potentially win

        Darchniyan impressed, but Donaire didn't impress. I don't know which one to go with here.

            Personally I think people are giving a lot of crap to Nonito and not enough credit to Vic. I think at this stage in his career, he could give even Rigo some problems and a somewhat interesting match.

              You know what? It sounds crazy, but I think so too. Darchiyan learned from the Donaire fight, not to go in and start swinging from the opening bell.

              If he turned the fight into a boring, stand still, waiting for the counter type of fight, he could land a few shots on Rigo, and anyone of Vic's shots can put his lights out. It's not like Rigo has Donaire's chin.

                  Darch is like a rusty nail. Old, worn, crooked... but you dont wanna F with it.

                  He showed he can still perform at a high level and entertain, I dont see why he should stop fighting if he still has the drive.

                    I would like to think Rigo schools and outboxes Vic, and I'm definitely not saying Vic beats him, but Rigo has been down before and like I said I think Vic is being severely underrated.

                    Rigo likely wins, but I wouldn't count Darchinyan out and I think that would be a very solid test for Rigo and a legit voluntary title defense after Agebko, one which if he was to win impressively, he should definitely get credit for (some people would dismiss VIc as an opponent, but lets be honest, it's not like Rigo has handfuls of top guys lining up to face him)


                    Then Donaire-Rigo after both have been able to grab a couple of decent wins
