man, this guy is one tough sum bitch! although i had mares winning by a slim margin, darchinyan boxed beautifully especially in the early going. if not for mares attacking darchinyan's body early, i think vic would have won.

i think the reason why mares looked so ordinary as opposed to previous fights, was because darchinyan's "crab" style frustrated him. darchinyan is hard to hit squarely on a regular basis and i think his hand speed is very underrated. and with the exception of getting blown away from donaire, i think his chin is solid as well. i'm glad abner mares won but i am also a vic darchinyan fan because this guy brings it every time.
