VILLORIA LOST NOOOOOOO!!!!

[Wacko3205]

This is indeed a crying shame...but it had to happen sooner or later.

I thought he would be unbeaten until he fought VArce at least and I wanted to see Calderon and the Kameda matches too!!! Maybe a rematch here??

El Phenomena? I smell my brother the Game back in there somewhere!

You not a Viloria fan Wack?

I wasn't surprised. I saw his weakness in his last fight (I mean the one before this one) where he was cornered on the ropes several times, seemingly unable to do anything but just crouching behind the ropes with his head covered with his gloves - clear sign that he was losing his heart in the fight. He definitely has the power, shooking his opponent in the early rounds, but doesn't seem to have the heart to pursue his opponent relentlessly like Pacman. He seemed to be very bothered by the counters of his opponent, as mentioned here by jstrong and I think that was the major reason for his defeat. He just didn't want to take the risk of being countered too much and so wasn't able to score much.

Brian is super talented but in the ring he always looks extremely vunerable, I'm not that surprised to be honest. Some fighters, especially champions have an aura of invincibility around them when they fight lesser opposition, Brian is definitly not one of those guys.

On the contrary, I think he suffered from a syndrome common among champions, which I'll call "the defensive syndrome" (hey, it's mine so don't anyone dare to claim it!) where a champion thinks "I'm on the top so the only place to go is down." Here, the champion's mind is preoccupied with the 'defense' of his crown (belt), in direct contrast to that of the challenger's where he is out to get the crown. This kind of excessively defensive attitude makes him forget that he is out there in the ring to beat his opponent, not just to defend himself against him, as if he is holding his crown under his belly and his opponent trying hard to pry it out from him. When the champion loses his aggressiveness and becomes too defensive, that's a clear sign of the sydrome. Did that make sense, I hope it did.

Too bad but I'm not shocked, I was never blown away by his fights coming up on ESPN 2, I can't remember the guys name but one time I even thought he got a bit lucky to get the decision. The only time he's really looked great to me was the Ortiz fight. Be interesting to see how good he turns out.

i'd really like to see an arce darchinian fight. all bombs, all night.

It'll be a fight between Arce's heart and Darchinian's power.

I just got a copy of the fight,looking forard to seeing it.By the way bro it's me(the game,got bored,changed my name!). So where you not too keen on Viloria in the first place? I thought he was going to be a star,it will be every interesting to see what ahppens with his career now!

You not a Viloria fan Wack?

Ehhhhhhhhhhh...I wouldn't call myself a fan...because I only kept up with him in passing...but I liked what I saw.

I am a bit surprised...the more I think about it.

But then again...I've been shocked by so many things in boxing this year...I couldn't list them all...but in trying...

1: Sturm lost.
2: Hopkins beat Tarver.
3: Oscar KO'd somebody.
4: Morales got KTFO.
5: My kidneys are still functioning.

Is the last one true? Hard to believe!! For me,number 4 is number 1. Yeah,I liked what I saw of Viloria and guess I brought the hype without really analysing him properly(only saw his last few fights and the sparring with Boom Boom)

[El Gamo]

I'd like to think he is coming back though,maybe work on his weaknesses,rematch this guy and then unify with Kameda?

El Phenomena! What kinda name is that! Sounds like the Terribleee huh? You're really the greatest fan of Erik.

Of course I was at first pretty much keen on him, but then, seeing him somewhat looking helpless in the fight before this one (although he did manage to win), I thought I'll have to reassess his ability before he broke my heart, and lucky for me I wasn't that broken hearted yesterday.

By the way, who're you hiding from?

[El Gamo]

El phenomena,it's funky! LMAO,it's nothing to do with Morales,although it does sound like it doesn't it!!Who was his last fight with? I was realy really impressed int he Aquirre fight!
