The fact that it is in the Phillipines is a huge bonus for Z to.
Well Sugar_Sh I mean JJS....
I know what you mean, everyday I spend time going thru old pages reading previous threads that don't get any responses. Some of these threads are well thought out threads. I guess sometimes people just overlook them much like we tend to overlook certain boxers.

Anyway.... I agree that the location of the fight will play a role for this fight.

i say vic winning because of his skills and gorres losing but will gain more followers coz of his heart.
When you say "Vics skills" you mean his looping punches and leaving himself open?
I say this cause IMO that's what Vic lacks the most is skill, he's fought the same way everytime I've seen him. I have yet to see him move in the ring well or out jab an opponent. To me Vic is more of a come forward and try to impose himself on you with his power shots.
I think Gorres is more well rounded then Vic here.

I'm with 'ya all the way on the skills.

Jot me down for Gorres by Decision.
