Can anyone give Darchinyan trouble?

[TomRiddle]

I dont know about Darchinyan that time.

because those two don't. if you'd notice both of them grew up in the states. im not saying filipino fighters dont have heart but you'd expect a bigger heart for filipino fighters from the PI because the come from much worse conditions and have fought adversity all their life.

That shouldnt be an excuse of not having any heart, theres people that live middle class and still fight their heart out, regardless what country they are from.. They just dont care about their people/country and just fight for the money, they should fight for pride of their country.. And the only one really doing it is Pacquiao.. others are ****ing ****'s no matter how much you like them, its true, Viloria is a ****ing *****, he should've won againts Nino if he tried harder but he gave up, he simply got exposed..

If they keep coming out like that then you can forget about the "next Pacquiao" this generation..

one of the few times ill say this, but I agree.

Even Villoria's corner admitted that he showed no heart against Nino. They say he doesnt have that fire in him that a World Champ must have, that hunger.

Viloria was overlooking that fight and thinking $$$ that would come after that fight. It was a shame and a missed opportunity. I was at that fight ringside, sitting right next to Viloria's mom, just didnt know what to say man, it was sad.

both of you guys are right.
and its the first time I heard you appreciate Pac Xcaret.
its true many Filipino boxers wanted to become like Pacquiao, but they dont have the heart like Pac.
Pac is one hell of a rare breed of boxer coming from the Philippines, he is the only Filipino boxer who had given hope to his country.

cming from a pachater

[Azteca]

darchinyan is guilty off ****ing his right hand too much and telegraphing his punches. i have a sneaking su****ion arce will be able to sneak inside and pummel darchinyan with short punches but that is still a pick'em fight.

[Tyson_21]

i dont think anyone in darchinyan's weight division or lighter can trouble him at all. he has great heart, ditermination along with great speed and strength. he is a champion fighter and might only have trouble if he steps up a division which i odnt think will happen

There was Villoria and there's Donaire.

But there also was Randy Suico against Juan Diaz; Suico had nothing but heart.

Then, there was Bautista who picked himself up from a KD to win.

There have been so many Filipinos who displayed courage in and outside the ring.

It's not a matter of nationality. Not even race (principally, Malay, in the case of Filipinos as they share the same race as Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries in the South East Asian region).

In 1983, Filipino civilians faced and stopped battle tanks in their tracks in what history now labels as "The People Power Revolution" in the Philippines. They had nothing but flowers, Rosaries and prayers.

It's silly to portray what Donaire and Villoria did as exemplifying any kind of Filipino trait. The Philippine's pantheon of heroes attest to courage. A Filipino chieftain named Lapulapu killed the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in the first recorded resistance to foreigners in the year 1521. The Filipinos met the westerners' cannons and muskets with spears and the local version of broadswords, called "kampilans".

Many others followed in Lapulapu's footsteps for some 4 hundred years. Many Filipinos faced all comers: Spaniards, British, Dutch, Americans, Japanese...

The "Moro Rebellion" in the southern island of Mindanao was so fierce, the .45 caliber pistol had to be called in to service in the US Forces deployed to the Philippines--the first time that the pistol saw combat.

The Philippines is site to a long history of bravery under the most adverse circumstances.

Edit: What Donaire did was an exception, not the rule. As for Villoria, who really knows other than he, what he was thinking?

[kg21mvp]

arce can give vic trouble IMO..and hes planning to fight rafa at bantam

[BigmoneyMikes]

villoria has no heart IMO

I think he lost it, the moment he hospitalised and and almost killed Contreras. He got lucky against the champ with his 1punch ko but its pretty clear in the agguire and nino fight that he dont have the same killer instict he had as an amateur and in his pre-contreras fights.
