Darchinyan needs to go back down in weight
Damn good card tonight, and what a shame about Gatti. Agbeko did great, would have been more lopsided without the push ruled a knockdown. Vic is surprisingly humble, I was sure he would be angry thinking he won.
War at a distance I dont get it at that level. Goodness Vic is ugly to watch and that left arm going back into load position before throwing is like watching a spoiled kid. I dont get how he gets away with it so much? Where were any uppercuts from Agbeko after Vic misses and stands there turned into a twist before uncoiling; could of been a finisher on Vic.Vics power hype may of worked to shape that fight that way.
Anyway good result, but for those two judges ???
In a way, I kinda feel sorry for Darchinyan. I didn't expect that poor performance from him. He's nowhere else to go now but to accept Donaire's challenge and defend his belts back down to 115. That would be a megafight.
I wish Bilbo was here to make a spam thread about how Donaire should be dropped from the P4P list based on Darchinyan's performance.
Crap. I was dead wrong. Lol. It was almost the opposite. PacDbest, you were right. So who's your pick on Khan-Koltenik and how is it gonna go?
I find it hard to believe almost 50% of people who texted in to Showtime voted that they thought Darchinyan would be champ at more than 3 weight divisions before it was all over. Vic hits hard and enjoys brawling... but he has huge lapses in boxing technique, and is extremely vulnerable to be hit with a variety of punches (left hooks, and apparently lead right hands).
I was rooting for Agbeko, so I was happy.
;D
Agbeko used superior speed (big surprise to me) to really control the distance between them expertly. Vic seemed really unsure as to whether he wanted to get inside and rough up Agbeko (which he was having no success doing) or stay on the outside and box Agbeko (which, with Agbeko's superior reach he was having no success doing...)
So when Vic says 'I used the wrong tactics' he's right, but even if he used the right tactics, I think he still gets beat.
Agbeko looked very good in there tonight, and Vic's power did not phase him at all. I enjoyed the fight, thought it was a good one.
Lard ass Shaw didn't show up in the ring this time during the post fight Vic interview. I wonder what his plans with Vic.
Vic used the wrong tactic, he was back to his old self just looking for one big punch. Where was the jab (what ever he was doing with his right hand was not a jab, looked like one but was not), where was the right hook. He looked tired after the 3rd round, drop down in weight coz thats too heavy for ya buddy.
I need to see Kotelnik fight 1st. I let you know by next week. Just wait till Pac-Cotto. Bet all your money on it!!!Quote:

Agbeko's Lead right & Donaire's Left hook beats Dachinyan easy. I mentioned it specifically.Quote:

He will easily beat Darchinyan.

Rumor is Shaw will stick to his original plan for Vic. And that is will continue to pit him against the big dogs at 122 like Marquez or Vazquez as he promised.
I'm gonna go see him at the Oxnard gym in a couple of weeks. I'll prolly get to meet Luevano also.
This was the very worse announcing job in the history of announcing. Why does Gus Johnson hate Vic so much. He did the same thing when Vic mugged Arce. In this fight, you would think the cards should have been 120-108. The guy should be canned for bias. :twisted:
