Darchinyan vs. Mijares. Will Vic Gore the Matador? Official Poll!!!

[Andre]

Vics one of the few boxers i have met. He was nice enough, i suppose I have to go for him.
Hate his style though.

[Deanrw]

My vote is in. I kinda like Vic even with his big mouth. Hell I like punchers period, but Mijares to me just seems to be a full class above him.

Mijares has really come into his own and is looking like a special fighter to me.

[CutMeMick]

Mijares looks the bizz.

Mijares wins coin flips!
Two coin flips took place during today's final press conference for the unification clash between WBA/WBC super flyweight champion Cristian Mijares and IBF junior bantamweight champion Vic "Raging Bull" Darchinyan. Mijares won both flips. The first coin flip concerned which champion comes out first. Mijares decided to let Darchinyan come out first and be announced last. The second flip concerned corners. Mijares chose the red corner. Mijares and Darchinyan meet Saturday live at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

Graham Houston picks the Bull:

"Mijares has the greater skill in the conventional sense, but he is a fighter who can get hit. He was heavily knocked down in his first bout with Katsushige Kawashima in Japan and he got nailed by quite a lot of left hands from Jose Navarro in their all-southpaw thriller (the fight where one judge incredibly had Mijares losing every round in surely the most aberrant assessment of a boxing match in ring history).

Each fight is different, but if Darchinyan can hit Mijares as often as Navarro did, he must have a great chance, because the Sydney-based fighter can certainly crack.


I believe that Darchinyan is going to have to walk through punishment to a certain extent as he stalks Mijares, but I also think that he is well capable of hurting the Mexican fighter if (or should it be when?) he lands his own punches.

Despite the great respect I have for Mijares, I am going to go against the tide here and pick Darchinyan to pull off the upset. I think he will be able to land enough of his thumping left hands to slow down Mijares and then come on with a late charge to snatch a decision victory."

Oh oh, should I call off my bet?

[Chicali]

Houston we have a problem, you know what happens when you go against the tide, you get suckered swept into the ocean left for dead. Vic has a punchers chance for the first 3-4 rounds, if he doesnt find the big blow Mijares will post up his boxing clinic for the rest of the fight.

I predicted this fight a walk-in-the-cake UD by Mijares 2 weeks ago.

Mijares still wins it though, but with bloody swollen face.
