Comments Thread For: Team Walters Pleased With Vic Darchinyan Defense

[Rome-By-Ko]

It's the reward you get for making a name for yourself one way or another.

Young Vic was knocking blocks off at a lower weight class and got a lot of buzz due to being in exciting fights so his name till this day can make people pay attention.

Paulie has made his name as a showman in and out the ring and his mouth has gotten him where his talents couldn't

Young Mosley was a KO monster, has a prime DeLaHoya on his resume and is one of 3 special fighters to sport the name "Sugar" and deserve it

Young Judah in his prime was "Super" entertaining with his lightning fast speed and power punching + is an entertaining character (stool throwing and all) and i'm sure attaching Brooklyn permanently to his name didn't hurt either.

When you think Arce you think of a blood and guts warrior in Poncho and Black Sombrero.

End of the day they all have some sort of star power, wether it be talent a look or their mouth, they all have a sort of staple that people can relate to or tie to their identity. How you market yourself goes a long way in an industry like this. There are many solid fighers with good enough resumes to get the big shots but their names don't ring enough bells to sell as an attractive opponent to casual fight fans. It's just business.

Great post bro..One more thing about Mosley(who is my fav fighter)he was the P4P best in the world at one point of his career..

Vic redeemed himself somewhat with his last performance. He would undoubtedly be Walter's best opponent to date. If Walters wants to get to the top, this is one test he needs to pass with flying colors.

You was spot on about every fighter you wrote about tho..I mean really top notch post..People forget these things when fighters are out of their prime..I'm happy it does not work that way and these guy's who's giving their lives to this sport get shots..Esp if they deserve um..

I do agree with your post (you can add the Paulie low KO record also gets him fights because he is a credible opponent with no power). Any up and coming talent would like to have any of those names in their resumes and plus they get a decent payday out of it.

I'm not against it but even if Vic wins how long can he hold the title for? I just hate to see a good boxer way out of their prime take a massive beating.

All good fighters will always will have one last great night in them
